<p>A couple of things worth knowing if you are planning on majoring in business as an undergraduate at those schools:</p>
<p>Upenn - Wharton--admits students only as freshmen--no transfers--this is the top business school in the country--and has been for the past 20 years.</p>
<p>NYU - Stern--has the famous "Stern" grading curve (average grade: B-). Students are known for being cutthroat for this reason--and have been known to destroy or steal library copies of books and spill drinks on other students' computers just to destroy their homework assignments. Somebody at this school told me they had a 93 in a class and got a C since the average score in the class was a 95.</p>
<p>Michigan Ann Arbor: Business school starts at sophomore year--only about 75 to 100 freshman are given direct admit status, all others have to apply after the first semester. Acceptance rate from Univ of Michigan into the program is around 65%.</p>
<p>UVA--Business School is actually the McIntire Commerce school, you apply in the sophomore year for admittance in the junior year--takes very few transfers except from VA community colleges. You need a 3.4 GPA+ at UVA to have a chance at admission.</p>
<p>UC Berkley - Haas--you apply for the business school as a sophomore for admittance during your junior year. Fewer than 40% of those applying from UC Berkeley itself get into the program, far fewer from in-state community colleges (need a 3.87 GPA or more), exactly one person from OOS got in as a transfer last year--that's right, one person.</p>
<p>UCLA--has no undergraduate business school, just the graduate one (Anderson)--where I got my MBA. You have to major in Economics or Business Economics with an Accounting concentration as an undergraduate.</p>
<p>Cornell--the business school is in the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences--so it doesn't get quite the glory you would expect of an Ivy league business program. Nevertheless, it's highly ranked (around 10th in the country)--and as one of only two undergraduate business programs at an Ivy league school, it gets a lot of attention and applicants.</p>
<p>naderboy: I don't understand how you're assessing his chances. His GPA is pretty good, but his SAT scores are average for Wharton applicants. I don't see any outstanding EC's, commitment, or even passion for business. I think that Wharton's a high reach.</p>
