<p>What about your budget? Have you run the online Net Price Calculator on each of those schools? If so, can you afford the Expected Family Contribution?</p>

<p>If cost isn’t a factor at all, you might want to check out finance and related fields at NYU.</p>

<p>For decent need-based aid, and if you’re willing to look outside the NE, check out the University of Richmond. Of the Business Week top 20 undergraduate business schools, it is one of the least selective that claims to cover 100% of demonstrated financial need. Run its online NPC to estimate your own costs.</p>

<p>Price is a big factor. I should have mentioned that. I am willing to look outside of New England, I have just found a lot of good schools closely. I will check out Richmond.
Even if I get in bc, I most likely won’t be able to go because of its price</p>

<p>You might qualify for decent merit aid at Temple, which would make it affordable. </p>

<p>Also in the “outside New England” category: Miami University in Oxford, Ohio.</p>

<p>Farmer School of Business is highly rated: <a href=“About the School | Farmer School of Business | Miami University - Miami University”>http://miamioh.edu/fsb/about/index.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Merit scholarship information is here: <a href=“Scholarships | Costs and Financial Aid | Miami University”>Scholarships | Costs and Financial Aid | Miami University;

<p>I second Richmond - its a great school.</p>

<p>Since price seems to be a pretty big factor for you, I don’t recommend applying to too many public universities outside of your own state. That leaves private schools, and lucky for you, there are a lot of them in the New England area. What about Brandeis, Bates, Colby, Bard?</p>

<p>I will look into Richmond
That is very true. I did like the feel of a big school better than a small school, but i guess it might be worth the better education at those smaller liberal arts schools</p>

<p>I’d take a visit and see if that’s whats right for you. If not, you could always try out your state flagship! There are lots of small private schools, but there are also some with a decent student population, so look for those if you want a larger community.</p>

<p>Is price a big factor because you have a high EFC but you family can’t afford it, or because your EFC is close to zero? This would imply different strategies.
Have you run the Net Price Calculator for EACH college (each college calculates differently!)</p>
