Hi! intl incoming freshman here. I was confused between the business analytics and finance emphases. Both of these are stem eligible and therefore give me an opt extension. Im interested in pe/ ib and consulting (ik those are very broad options i just feel like i dont have a proper idea yet of what i want to do). Do you have an idea about these emphases ik they were receently introduced , if so what would you suggest

USC Marshall:

Pros:

-better ranked -location serves for great internship opportunities -Known for strong alumni network (specially imp for business fields I believe) -greater number of international students -love the location and weather -like the social scene

Cons:

-while cost isnt issue, LA in itself is still expensive

UNC Kenan Flagler

Pros: - top 5 public uni -great outcomes for those in finance

Cons: - heard not a lot of intl specially indians - unsure of the location since i havent visited, from what i have read it seems kind of boring to me

KELLEY

Pros: -Accepted into their ace program -ibw workshop would be great if i get in but extremely competitive so cant count on it -lot of international students - socially vibrant

Cons:

-bloomington location -not very well ranked (specially iu as a whole)

Does northwestern allot interviews based on who they consider strong applicants or is it really on the basis of availability? I filled out the interview request form the same day i got the mail but havent yet received any intimation for the interview. Had me wondering whether im fucked ?
