Hi guys! I'm an international student stuck between two universities rn: Notre Dame vs HKU (hong kong)

I'm looking to pursue finance/economics and hopefully break into US INVESTMENT BANKING in the near future. ik HKU ranks way higher in terms of university rankings, but Notre Dame is a #7 target school in investment banking (according to Peak Frameworks). In contrast, HKU only places #45 as a target school in investment banking? (ranking is based off of # of hires into top investment banking firms)

so basically:
HKU Pros - full RIDE, higher university ranking, nearer to home
HKU Cons - only #45 on the target school investment banking list

Notre Dame Pros - rly high employment in investment banking
Notre Dame Cons - no scholarship, far from home

idk, all im rly worried abt is being able to land a good investment banking job in the US right after college

moving this comment down here

international university rankings are dumb
do not look at them

#

how much does the tuition matter to your family?

#

like paying 320k for ND is dumb

#

if its a good opportunity for me, then theyll pay for it

you should go somewhere in New york for investment banking i heard its the financial capital, i was also applying to purdue which is in indiana for cs, but i skipped as its in the middle of nowhere now i am leaning more towards big tech cities

It matters FAR less for CS than banking

#

this person have infinite funds

#

if banking in the US is their goal ND is the clear choice

#

like no point in discussing
