<p>I want to go to the best business school I can get into. I am transferring from a well-known community college in upstate NY and I will be majoring in business ad./management. I have a 3.45 and 1120 on SATs the old ones. Please list the best schools I could get into. The most important factor in a school for me is recruitment and where the corporations will come to seek out fresh college students. THANK YOU!!!!</p>
<p>Sorry, but that is not going to happen. There may be some recruitment of MBAs from the very top schools, but for everyone else it is a matter of trying to find a job and working your way up the corporate ladders.</p>
<p>I wouldn't say that edad. While you are correct that MBA recruitment would be much higher than standard undergrad, undergrads are still recruited directly after college, especially from top colleges.</p>
<p>I'm assuming you have a 3.45 in college classes. First, keep in mind that "top" schools like Harvard, U of Penn. and Yale take very, very few transfer students, and also require top grades (i.e., 4.0) from their transfer applicants. Unless there is something in your application that might boost your chances - such as being an under represented minority, having started an amazing business already, etc. - you will probably be wasting your time to apply as a transfer to these schools.</p>
<p>The good news is there are plenty of excellent schools with great business schools who would be interested in a transfer student with a solid 3.45/3.5 GPA, good recommendations, and ambition. </p>
<p>Some suggestions for you to look at: Babson College, Bentley College, Bryant College - all are solid, business focused schools that attract many recruiters. I read somewhere that Babson actually gets more corporate recruiters on campus than Harvard. All would be realistic schools for you to aim at as a transfer, although Babson and Bentley might be reachy with a college GPA of 3.45.</p>
<p>Some other schools to check out as possibilities for someone with your grades: Indiana U, Syracuse, U of Denver, Villanova, Elon (north carolina), Temple, Loyola College of Maryland, Marist, Ithaca, Northeastern, Michigan State U, Lake Forest College (IL) - much depends on whether you'd prefer a small or large school, a specialized business school, and your geographic restrictions. Many of these schools also offer decent financial aid if that is an issue for you.</p>
<p>As you contact schools, ask them how many companies recruit on campus and for a list of companies that recruited last year (you may have to contact the career services office to do this). I would also suggest that you ask about the availability of internships - solid internship experience is probably what will get you your first job, not just access to campus recruiters.</p>
<p>Best of luck!</p>
<p>Which schools/qualifications are we talking about here? Will they recruit for MBA students at other schools such as Cornell or the other Ivies as much? I assume that economics majors at HYP and Wharton grads aren't the only groups getting recruited. How about physics or engineering to MBA straight out of college? Is that frowned on or could an MIT or Cornell engineer be recruited right after graduation for top b-schools just as much as a Harvard economics major? Just trying ot define EXACLTY where the MBA recruitment action goes on. Could help sucuse and me.</p>
<p>Thank you so much Carolyn for your opinions. I prefer the second group of colleges you listed, because I would like to transfer to a big school. I am from upstate NY(Rochester) and distance isn't really an issue, but I'd like to keep costs down seeing that I will be paying every penny myself for my education. Any other schools to look into??</p>
<p>Schools which are certified by the AACSB attract recruiters. Start at the AACSB website for list of accredited schools, then check career centers of those schools to see who recruits there.
Christopheer Newport in VA has been recently certified. It is a state school (reasonable costs).</p>
<p>Since money is an important issue for you, do not overlook the SUNY schools. I suggest you look at Binghamton, Albany and Geneseo in particular, but Brockport, Oswego, Buffalo, and Plattsburg are worth a look as well. Don't go too heavily into debt if you can avoid it - that will give you more options when it comes to choosing your first job.</p>
