<p>BYU, and UPenn are easily the top on that list. sp1212, that’s bogus.</p>

<p>^ True. I think sp meant that if you go to Penn, everyone will seem to be interested in high finance over accounting, but that just gives you a very good option if you decide you don’t like accounting. Also, I think sp was referring to how BYU can be so religious it affects school policy (dress codes for example) which may be a turn-off to some.
To the OP: The US News ranking is a very good place to start and you might want to swap a couple of your choices with a couple that are ranked highly there if you see any that appeal to you.</p>
