<p>Any good ones out there??</p>
<p>Indiana University, University of Arizona, and Arizona State University</p>
<p>ASU is pretty good. Nice city and college environment too. You should be in with a B average. </p>
<p>Don't know about Indiana though. Their business school is pretty selective.</p>
<p>Bentley, Johnson & Wales</p>
<p>What's a B average?</p>
<p>I got in to Indiana with a 3.4UW/3.7W</p>
<p>I didn't apply as a business major, but you can transfer in after 1 or 2 years.</p>
<p>University of Denver, Pitt, Bentley</p>
<p>Bryant, Babson, Bentley</p>
<p>When I hear B average, I usually assume 3.0.</p>
<p>3.43 is closer to an A- average, I think. </p>
<p>And yeah, the school itself (Indiana) is much easier to get into than the business program.</p>
<p>And I'll second the recommendation for Denver.</p>
<p>Michigan State has a pretty good Business school too I think.</p>
<p>most schools in the usnews ranking's 40+ or so should probably be in your range</p>

<p>^^alot of them are state universities so it also depends on which state you are from.</p>
<p>I'm sorry, but barring a great class rank or standardized test score, I don't see someone with a 3.0 being competitive at any of those schools listed.</p>
<p>woah woah, are you sure that list is right, I applied to both penn state and maryland under the impression that they were in the top 20-30 range, maryland especially</p>
<p>phew, after checking myself, whoever informed GoBlue81 was misinformed</p>

<p>ya i dont know where that first set came from, it was either from a long time ago or else they were college rankings, not program rankings. you would probably get into iowa for sure, they have a very good program. for private, baylor and hofstra are both good.</p>
<p>The original post does not share enough info. needed to answer. ACT or SAT I scores, broken down by section, will help as will intended area of study. Some schools are strong in accounting, some in finance, whereas a general management major might consider a different group of business schools. A "B" average from a competitive high school means more than a "B" average from a not-so-competitive school, thus class rank and/or standardized test scores can help define the "B" avg. Northeastern University in Boston might be worth a look as it takes a more practical internship based approach to learning which may be appealing to someone less enthused by book learning.</p>
<p>Those are overall rankings.</p>
<p>Those ranking for "Business Schools" could not be more misleading regarding the quality of "business related" education.</p>
<p>Take UCLA as an example. In the fifties and sixties UCLA had an undergraduate "business school". They got rid of the program before I arrived in 1976 on the grounds that the University of California is primarily a research institution, not a vocational school. UCLA did, in the early nineties, after much lobbying and financial support, re-constitute the old Business degree into a degree called "Business Economics", which includes all the courses of study one might find in an undergraduate business program.</p>
<p>I don't mean to bore you with those details, but most Top 50 schools in the country take the same view as UCLA has... that they are not a vocational school, and therefore don't offer a "Business" degree. Some offer degrees in accounting, most in economics, all offer statistics, most offer marketing, most offer information systems, some in entrepreneurship, etc.</p>
<p>A better question would be -- which schools offer the traditional course selection that would prepare a student with specific skills often used in a career in business?</p>
<p>Then the Top 20 would include more than half of the overall Top 20 schools.</p>
<p>As to the OP's question, with a B average I would think a match would be most of the schools in the 70-100 range in the USNWR rankings.</p>
