Econ and business are not the same. They aren’t interchangeable. There’s some overlap but they are different. That said, you can major in many different subjects and be successful in business.

If you want business apply to business programs. It can be tough to transfer into business schools. It’s typically easier to transfer into Econ.

If you’re thinking east coast and business maybe BC, Georgetown and Fordham? Emory is in Atlanta. Very good business program.

piggybacking off of AustenNut about Northeastern-

It’s EXTREMELY hard to get in, so I would absolutely classify it as a reach. There are alternate entry programs (Global Scholars > https://globalscholars.northeastern.edu/) and NU.in (https://nuin.northeastern.edu/)- and I’m giving the links so you can take a look for yourself! Please know these two alternate entry programs are easier to get in, but not a guarantee in any way of admission should you mark preference for it. One other thing I’ll add is you may be put in London or Oakland for 4 years, as another entry option. /warmly

NEU also has combined majors (like yours truly has decided to do) and here’s a link to the list, if you ever want to try a different academic route- Combined Majors | Undergraduate Admissions

to have the best chances of getting in, my best advice is apply ED (if financially feasible and #1 choice) or apply EA- both rounds skew the most amount of acceptances- (this is from my experience of talking to admitted/incoming/current students + their CDS) /thoughtful

aaand yeah, that’s my little spiel on it. Feel free to PM me if you want to know more. /warmly
