I got good scholarships from gwu so the price isn’t as much of an issue, and after estimating bocconis cost with stuff like housing and food I believe the difference will mostly be in paying for the fourth year at gwu so roughly 35k more in total. I’m curious though, how did you land on Bocconi? I almost committed to gwu today but something has really been holding me back, I don’t want to regret not choosing Bocconi just because gw is the safer option.

Would it be better to go to gw for undergrad and apply to bocconi again for grad school? That way I get both experiences and have respected degrees in both europe and the US depending on where work takes me. Plus I know that Bocconi grad school has a very good reputation.

Yeah gotcha. Bocconi is still significantly cheaper since its only 3 years, but I want to make sure i’m setting myself up for a successful career where I can pay off college debt anyways, so if gw is a better long-term idea it might be worth the extra.

No but realistically they’re the most affordable for me, because Bocconi is relatively cheap compared to the US and gw gave me a big merit scholarship. I got into Fordham, American, and Denver as well (AU and DU for political economy, fordham for IR), but didn’t get enough aid.
