1.) First, I wanted to change my major from Journalism to Business (at the time I had no idea what emphasis, all I knew is that I wanted to change to a business major). At NYU this would require me to transfer from the College of Arts and Sciences to the Stern School for Business...no easy task. Stern only accepted transfers and new students during the Fall semester, which meant I would have to tough it out in CAS during Spring and then pray to get accepted for the Fall. This would have been fine except for reason #2.
2.) I was planning on going on a mission for my church and would be leaving in June of 2006, before I could even start in Stern. Being at NYU hadn't really been the best environment for me to prepare to go on a mission, so after hearing that BYU's Marriott School of Management actually ranked higher than NYU in some rankings I decided to pack my bags and head to Utah. Besides the better environment to go on a mission, I also would be paying $2000 a year for school instead of $40,000. That's right, I could get 20 years of education from BYU for the price of one year at NYU.
So, it just made sense.
