<p>The risk of UMICH or the guarantee of Carroll?</p>
<p>y the risk of umich? (what's risky about it...), (is that the one whose business program accepts you sophomore year?)</p>
<p>yeah thats the one..</p>
<p>oh no not another BC vs UMich thread (there is like 15 pages on this in one of the main forums). this is a tough decision. Ross is more prestigious than Carroll, but if you plan on staying in the northeast after graduation, Carroll is probably the better option as regionally it is prestigious. Also, as you mentioned, Ross is not a guarantee. If you are in state for Michigan, I would go there, otherwise I would choose BC.</p>
<p>me personally, i'd rather be gurenteed im in, and BC's business program is still quite good</p>
<p>Go where the money is (financial aid). Personally, I would like to you choose BC, but it is Expensive! And Ross isn't getting cheaper either. If you are planning to work in anything corporate related, your degree from either school should open quiet a few doors in the first few years, but as you get more experience after 3-5 years, your undergraduate will be secondary important and where you went to school will be third. Go to whatever school gives you the most $ for your work.</p>
<p>If you know 100% for sure that you want to go into buisness and you would never consider doing anything else, then go to BC. If you think that you could maybe do something else in life, or do buisness is grad school, then go to U of M.
My reasoning is that if you are the first type, and you go to U of M, you will spend your entire first year extremely worried about whether or not you will get in. The good news is that if you were to not get into Ross, U of M has about a gazillion other majors/programs that you could pursue, while BC sticks more to the basics (if you ever decide not to to buisness once at BC.)<br>
I am from Ann Arbor, so my opinion of U of M is biased, but as schools, I would definitly choose BC. The campus is nicer, there is more of a sense of community, and I believe that the general undergraduate education is better. U of M's reputation and ratings are influenced heavily by their grad schools, but remember that you are an undergraduate. </p>
<p>So my pick for you: BC.</p>
<p>unless you are a wanna-be hippie, then go to U of M. lol. (there are a lot of those in Ann Arbor)</p>
<p>I'm going to have to disagree with most of you. Michigan is definately more prestigious than BC everywhere in the country...perhaps except for on BC's campus. Unless you have some issue where you think you can't do well enough to get into Ross (which as far as I know, isn't that difficult to get into when you're at Michigan) you should probably go there.</p>
<p>Also, Michigan is cheaper any way you slice it.</p>
<p>In the Northeast, Carroll is just as prestigious as Ross..Michigan? arent they that school that always loses to OSU in basically everything now?</p>
<p>I mean, I'm not bashing BC, it's a very good school. It's just Michigan is an academic powerhouse that BC does not compete with really. Maybe Carroll in Boston is as prestigious as Michigan, but even if you go 150 miles south to New York, Michigan easily trumps BC in prestige.</p>
<p>Quite frankly, the only people who think BC is as prestigious as Michigan are people who go to BC.</p>
<p>Beware of taking advice from people who can't correctly spell the word "definitely."</p>
