class of 06: business major?

Applying to College
1

<p>Hey guys,
I'm a senior in high school, interested in majoring in business (marketing or management, and going to graduate school for executive MBA.)..
I've done some research, and I really like USC because I would like to stay on the west coast at least for the undergraduate, and what USC offers. But lately I've been reading feedbacks by current USC students or people who are familiar with the school, about the "B- curve" in the USC Marshall school. I'm not too familiar with the "B- curve" but when i asked an admission officer at USC, he said other schools like UPENN and UT also uses it. So I guess my question is, is USC business undergraduate program worth the money? What are some other great business schools?</p>

<p>My stats:
Best verbal : 800 Best math : 630 Best writing: 580 (unlike the rest asians, I scored perfect on verbal and not so hot on math lol. I guess I'm UNIQUE!)
SAT II Korean: 800 , SAT II Math2C: donno yet.
GPA: 3.98, 5 AP classes (AP calc, AP chem, AP lit, AP eng and AP government)
EC : volunteer @ a hospital, class officer, student government, 3 varsity sports, work at best buy, internship @ HanWha Inc. in Korea during winter, involved with church youth group. Clubs: DECA, key club and FCCLA. </p>

<p>So far I have applied to..</p>

UC Berkeley
UCLA

<p>applying to..
USC
University of Michigan -Ann Arbor
Duke
Dartmouth</p>

<p>I only applied to UW as a safety school.
I will only go there if that's the only school I got into. </p>

<p>and for the UCs, ya.. I know my chance of getting in is very slim. Out of state student, and on top of that, another asian.</p>

<p>UWashington is such a great school I wouldn't pay the outrageous OOS UC costs anyways. And you stand a fair chance at USC.</p>

<p>anyone familiar with the B- curve or the USC business program?</p>
