Accepted to SCU leavey business school, please help me to decide

<p>Hello fellow people in this forum, i hope you won't mind sharing some subjective feedback or facts regarding leavey business schopl. i've received an admission for leavey business school as an international student, and truth to be told scu wasn't my first choice and I applied there because it's close from my house (I'm attending de anza college) and I heard some rumours on the great quality of scu business education, within this post i wanted to verify that rumour. I did not get the admission for my top choices of univs, but being given the opportunity to receive admission from this school, i'm really grateful for that. My intended major is business entrepreneurship and entrepreneurship has always been my passion. As of now, i'm stil looking for infos regarding the business program in leavey and I would really appreciate it if anyone could answers some of my questions (Either with facts or ur own subjective opinion, but please, if possible, show ur thought process). This coming week, i'll be attending the transfer admit day to receive further infos (which i could share some of the highlighted infos from the event for some of u who couldnt come on that day)</p>

<p>This is my first thread post, please be kind :)</p>

<p>So here are some of my questions regarding Leavey business program:
1. In ur opinion or experience, what makes leavey business school a great business program? What makes it different from many other top business programs across the nation?</p>

<ol>
<li><p>Does this univ facilitates or encouraged entrepreneurship activities for its student ? Are there programs for student to learn extensively about business entrepreneurship or programs that apply their knowledge about business entrepreneurship under the strict supervision of a professor? </p></li>
<li><p>I have a plan to gain some experiences to work in silicon valley, rumour says that scu has strong alumni connection and would termendously help at job application time after graduation and internship opportunity while studying as undergrads. Can anyone verify that?</p></li>
<li><p>Ranking wise, was it true that leavey business school ranked as the top business program in the country?</p></li>
<li><p>How was the profs? Any of them had enlightened you or at least give some impacts to your mindset?</p></li>
</ol>

<p>Thank you for taking the time to read this and for wanting to help me and perhaps others, I really appreciate it. And if u wont mind, i hope u could also commented on the choices i have below:</p>

<p>Option 1:
I received admissions to UC San Diego majoring in economics program (economic not necessesarily my passion yet, but i've found that it's quite enjoyable as well), which i happen to visit over the last weekends, i love the beautiful campus and the well endowned facilities. But not only that, in my visit, I come to know that the econ undergrad program was taught by the same profs as its grad school (which according to us news, the grad economic program was actually ranked pretty high in the nation). I talked to my parents and they allowed me to take master in business entrepreneurship (i'm personally not sure if it exists as grads program as it is quite a new major) or mba, to supplemented my learning from UC San Diego. </p>

<p>The main concern for me is the length of time I might need to spent for this option. This year I will be turning 20, and if my estimation was right, i would need at least another 6 years to complete my studies (2 yr in UCSD, 2 yr work experience in silicon valley (which i heard that econ major will still enable me to be accepted to work in the industry to enter great business school, and another 2 yr for completing my master). And being 26, i think i might have shorter time to set up my life (gain another work experience after graduating from grad school, going back permanently to indonesia and setting up my own company as well as developing my parents business, getting my lil bro to univs, marriage, etc.).</p>

<p>Option 2:
Another possible option for me would be taking the admission offer from one of these schools:
1. Santa Clara University (the first choice for my second option)
2. Loyola marymount university
3. Univ of san francisco
4. UC St. Barbara
5. Finger crossed for Univ of Southern California admission, that i believe will come this week.</p>

<p>In the univs listed above, i will be majoring in business as undergrad, thus i might not necessesarily take master education if i couldnt see great deal of value in pursuing further studies for my career or my personal enrichment. This way, i will have more time to set up my life and i might as well lived in other country while learning new language. </p>

<p>If you were in my position what option will u choose and why?</p>

<p>Thank u once again for taking the time to read my post and i'm looking forward to ur reply.</p>
