Boston University (SMG) vs Rutgers University (RBS) vs Penn State (Smeal)

<p>So, by reading the thread title you could probably tell I'm interested in pursuing business. I have narrowed down by decision to BU, Rutgers, and Penn State. Rutgers is in-state for me so it would cost about 26,000. BU would be 50,000+ whereas Penn State would be 42,000. At Penn State, I was also admitted to Penn State's so-called Business honors program called The Sapphire Leadership Program @ Smeal College of Business. My dad has agreed to pay Rutgers price everywhere I go.</p>

<p>However, what's making me nervous (besides the $$$), is that many articles are being written that companies and MBA programs are preferring critical thinkers, more engineers as opposed to business undergraduate majors. I want to be able to build my critical thinking skills, yet at the same time confirm my interest in finance, economics, accounting, etc. </p>

<p>What do you recommend I do in terms of major? Should I pursue computer science, biomed engineering, or something of that sort? Which university seems the best choice for me in the long-run?</p>
