<p>ok got into michigan lsa and maryland business just wanna hear a comparison of the two and which one i should lean towards</p>
<p>Do you live in Maryland?</p>
<p>no out of state for both</p>
<p>Sorry to keep answering questions with questions, but is it your intent to apply to Ross? Because if it is, you’d be hard pressed to beat Ross in terms of a business school – it is consistently ranked among the top 5 - 10 nationwide.
That said, don’t know a lot about Maryland. And UMich can be pricey for OOS. Maybe someone with business experience will chime in.
If not, and you’ve visited both and sat in on classes and done a financial analysis/comparison, then go with your gut! Business is all about networking and UMich supplies many opportunities in that regard, in addition to strength in Econ and Bus School.</p>
<p>didnt apply to ross and got into lsa id be majoring in math so its that vs marylands business school which i did get into</p>
<p>Math at Michigan is awesome, especially if you can to the Honors sequence, which I hear is one of the best of its kind. If cost of attendence is not an issue (at almost $40,000/year, OOS Maryland is not much cheaper than OOS Michigan, which costs roughly $48,000/year), I would go for Michigan.</p>
<p>Ann Arbor>>>College Park. I don’t care if it’s just outside of D.C.</p>
<p>These interests are slightly different. Business vs. Math. Think about what you enjoy about each subject. Overall I’d say both programs are around equivalent in prestige so go with the major you like and if you can’t do that, choose based on campus atmosphere, cost, location, etc.</p>
<p>
Agree, both are great schools. If your looking at graduate school the prestige of your undergraduate school should not be a large factor, for many it’s not a factor at all.</p>
<p>Maryland is good, but it is not a “great” school and Smith, although respected, is not great either. I have yet to see a ranking that places Smith BBA among the top 10. If the OP were chosing between Michigan math and NYU Stern or Michigan math and UNC-Kenan Flagler, or Michigan math and UVa-McIntire or Michigan math and CMU Tepper…I would agree with the notion of chosing based on fit. Even in terms of fit, the Michigan campus is more pleasant than the Maryland campus and Ann Arbor is significantly nicer than College Park. </p>
<p>Bottom line, if cost were an issue, I would recommend the OP go for what makes more financial sense. But if cost is not an issue, between Michigan and Maryland, the decision is not that hard.</p>
<p>“Agree, both are great schools. If your looking at graduate school the prestige of your undergraduate school should not be a large factor, for many it’s not a factor at all.”</p>
<p>Yeah sure, dream on…</p>
<p>Well if you plan on applying to Ross after freshmen year at LSA, I’d say Michigan. Ross is one of the best undergrad business schools in the country.</p>
<p>im prob not gonna get into ross after freshman year math and business are equal to me and alexandre what do you mean michigans campus is more pleasant than marylands</p>
<p>“im prob not gonna get into ross after freshman year”</p>
<p>hmm it’s not hard at all.</p>
<p>
I’m not sure what you mean, but this is usually true.</p>
<p>Example:
Harvard undergraduate, Marquette University graduate for law
Arizona State University undergraduate, Columbia graduate for law
Northwestern undergraduate, Northwestern graduate for law</p>
<p>Columbia and Northwestern both have a prestigious law school, and Marquettes is recognized by USNEWS. Though it is clear that when hiring base for law etc… as both undergraduate schools would be recognized the graduate schools will be more emphazied. Likely the alumni of Arizona State University would get the better job offers considering all have the same academics.</p>
<p>not hard to get into ross at all after freshman year?
how do you know this?</p>
