<p>My son is going to be a high school junior and we're looking for schools with undergrad business. Please suggest schools which don't require someone to apply to the b-school after the 1st or 2nd year. Too risky. Also, perhaps a school without a huge core requirement so he could possibly major in something else too.</p>
<p>He's not getting into Wharton, Cornell, or NYU. Possibly Wash U early decision. What else should we look at?</p>
<p>To be honest, if you think his chances at Wharton, NYU, and Cornell are rough, his chances at WashU will be equally rough.</p>
<p>What’s your location? Your state schools, depending on state, might have some good programs. Having a general idea of his stats will also help with recommendations.</p>
<p>Indiana’s business school, Kelly, is prestigious and well-respected but less selective than the likes of Stern or McDonough.</p>
<p>Check out the University of Minnesota’s Carlson School of Management. Great city with a large F500 presence.</p>
<p>His sister went to Wash U and I think it’s easier to get into than Wharton or Cornell and possibly Stern too. I think he should apply to Indiana - that’s on the list. We live in NJ. He doesn’t want to look at Rutger’s but maybe can be persuaded.</p>
<p>His GPA is about 4.1 weighted. Hard curriculum, rigorous public high school. Doesn’t have SATs yet. SAT II - bio 750, US history 760. good extracurriculars.</p>
<p>If his SAT is 2000+ he definitely has a shot at Stern. But of course NYU is notorious for poor FA, if that matters. Honors Rutgers isn’t a bad option either, to have even as a backup.</p>
<p>2000+ for Stern? Really? I would have thought it would be higher. I think he’d be miserable there though - no sports and it seems like kind of a lonely place.</p>

<p>2000 for Stern is not good enough. Stern is quite selective.</p>
<p>I know plenty of people who got in with 2000-2100, and of course higher. As long as the rest of the application isn’t lacking.</p>

<p>Have your son take a look at Boston College (MA) or UCONN (CT) - Best of luck!</p>
<p>Thanks slumom. St. Louis University?</p>
<p>Boston College
Northeastern University
NYU
Fordham
Notre Dame
Cornell
USC

<p>That would be a good list that has some safeties, matches and reaches.</p>
<p>That’s 2 people who mentioned BC. I never considered it because we’re not Christian and it seems really hard to get into. Same thing with Notre Dame. Is BC very competitive and very Catholic?</p>
<p>Does anyone recommend any of the schools in DC?</p>
<p>IMO, BC is not religious even its a cathoric school. Its no more selective than Stern or Ross.</p>
<p>DC there are three major and three good schools. Georgetown, George Washington University, and American University. AU is more of a politics and international relations school and doesn’t have much emphasis on Business. GW has a pretty good business school with about a 40%acceptance rate. When I visited the multicultual office at GW I told the director that I wanted to study business and he said that the business school is the best school in the university. Take it as you want it. I suggest GW because they actually get proffesors that are important in their own respective fields.<br>
Georgetown obviously is the most mprestigiious with a 20% acceptance rate. Really hard to get into and it is also a jesuit school like BC, Fordham, and ND.<br>
Don’t be scared at going to a jesuit/catholic school because it’s different than say a catholic highschool. The Jesuit part is just a tradition. The most you will have to take on campus is a “morals and business course” or one theology course but that’s it. Also I highly suggest Boston University. It has a 58% acceptance rate, could be a good safety, but the acceptance rate is because it’s a big school.</p>
<p>Is BC as selective as Ross or Stern which are really selective and I think have better reputations?</p>
<p>The tops are UPenn, MIT and UCB, some times Columbia is considered as a UG B School… Chicago has a lot of Econ student went to Investment Banking… So is Princeton…</p>
<p>UG B Schools have a blurry line between real Business Program and Econ.</p>
<p>No, amazon, SLU=St. Lawrence University, guess that is a regional thing, depends on where you live, LOL!</p>
