Deposit due in 4 DAYS. URGENTLY needing help in decision

<p>BU or Bentley University.
I was thinking about getting a business major. and bentley has a better business program than BU.</p>

<p>BU, on the other hand, is a HUGE research school and has a LOT of students. If I were to change my mind about business, changing majors would not be that hard.</p>

<p>I am also thinking about transferring to an Ivy League school, more like Harvard which may seem improbable, but I know i can do it... so which school would increase my chances?</p>

<p>Even though I am thinking about a business major, another major I was thinking of is Chemical Engineering... it really fascinates me and my chem+physics teacher has encouraged me to do it... but I'm feeling more business now... so I really am torn apart.</p>

<p>im trying to make a deposit today.! PLEASE anyone helpp!</p>

<p>Sounds like you need a school with many strong programs, so BU.</p>

<p>Whichever has the best combination of Business and Chemical Engineering. Aka if the one with better business has horrible chem engineering, and the other is a little worse for business, but is pretty good at chem engineering, you should consider picking the latter of these two…</p>

<p>That way, if you do decide to switch, you won’t have to settle for a significantly worse department just because you wanted the slightly better business school…</p>

<p>Now, I really don’t know all that much (i.e. anything lol) about the business and chem engineering departments at these schools, so the situation I described is not necessarily reflective of reality, but I think you can get the general picture of what I’ve suggested…</p>

<p>would prestigious schools look more favorably towards Bentley or BU? considering that I score 4.0 GPA + extracurriculars… etc?</p>

<p>I don’t really know. Sorry :/</p>

<p>BU has a national reputation. Bentley is more regional and not very well known in some parts of the country. If you ever move out of the Northeast, a BU degree would carry more weight.</p>

<p>I grew up in NJ and have never heard of Bentley…if name recognition is important to you.</p>

<p>The transfer rate to Harvard is under 3%. Realistically, it is a very long shot. You can always apply to HBS for grad school, or to MIT for chem engineering for a Ph.D.</p>

<p>For now, it sounds like BU has the breadth of majors you may need.</p>
