<p>Hi, any advice would be greatly appreciated!</p>
<p>I am a high school senior, and I have already been accepted from a majority of my schools. I am planning to be a Business Major, probably double majoring in Finance and Economics.
So far the schools I have been accepted to, with the annual tuition are:</p>
<p>I am the type of kid who constantly thinks ahead, as I am already thinking of grad school before I have even began my undergrad pursuits. Every website has different rankings on the quality and reputation of business schools around the country. I don't have the grades for Ivy Leagues or other top-notch schools (1250 SAT, 90 GPA).</p>
<p>So my question is, where should I go, or are there any other schools I should look at? I am really just worried about the prestige of my undergrad school, so I can go to a much better graduate school.</p>
<p>I assume by grad school you mean MBA. Any of the schools on your list can get you into any grad school given high enough gpa, test scores, and great work experience.</p>
<p>I know 2 OSU grads that went IVY for grad school…one did an MBA at Wharton and the other an MFA at Columbia.</p>
<p>You can get anywhere you need to go with a degree from OSU.</p>
<p>One thing you need to ask yourself, assuming you’ve visited, is if price were no object, and prestige were a consideration, but not a deciding factor, which school would you choose just because you like it or feel comfortable, or it’s close to home, etc.? Other than Northeastern, they’re within striking distance of each other in terms of price, so personal preference might be an important factor.</p>
<p>Also, take a look at Indiana. Pretty popular business school for kids here in the Midwest, and pretty highly ranked. You should have a shot at it, and I think it might be higher ranked than anything on your current list.</p>
<p>@mom2collegekids I do reside in New York and the tuitions I posted include room and board. I received a half scholarship to Ohio State, and smaller scholarships to the other schools (not Northeastern of course).</p>
<p>I don’t know Baruch, but all of the rest are fine schools, and, frankly, it doesn’t matter a great deal which of these you choose. It’s what you do in college that qualifies you for grad school and for employment (since the Ivies are out of the running). If your grades are good in college, then you’ll be able to attend a grad school as well. The question for a kid who thinks ahead is how long do you want to be paying off your education loans? If you can go to a less expensive undergrad school, it also might give you more choices for grad school. I hope it all works out for you and you work hard and wisely in college.</p>
