Engineering and Business

College Search & Selection

<p>I just got rejected by Stanford. I'm not sure that it was even a really good fit, but I am not sure what I want to study exactly.</p>

<p>I'm contemplating an Engineering (thinking either Engineering Physics or Biomedical) and Business double major, basically I want to keep both options open. I need some advice on what the best places for this would be. I should be able to get into Michigan, the schools that I have been considering applying to are:</p>

<p>Princeton
MIT
Brown
Cornell
Michigan (applied)
U of Penn
Johns Hopkins
Carnegie Mellon
Tufts</p>

<p>I'm looking for the best combined programs.</p>

<p>Please suggust any Universities that fit my criteria.</p>

<p>Maybe rank the list in order of the best programs. That would be excellent.</p>

<p>I know that MIT and Princeton are probably reaches, along with Brown, since I got Rejected by Stanford, but I also retook tests after I applied (probably should have applied RD) so I think those scores will help.</p>

<p>Thanks for any help!</p>

<p>Tufts doesn't have a business undergrad program; there is an Entrepreneurial Studies program, but it is a minor only. I believe JHU is planning to start a business program, but not yet.</p>

<p>USC offers a combined degree in "Computer Science/Business Administration" for people who want to go to the Viterbi School of Engineering and the Marshall School of Business as well, without the mess of double majoring in engineering and business (which is quite a task, both typically being rigorous and time-consuming programs in their own right)</p>

<p>They only offer it for CS, though, and not other fields of engineering. Engineering major + business minor is extremely popular, for people who want to do other engineering and not CS.</p>

<p>M & T at Penn and IBE at Lehigh are both combined business/engineering degree programs.</p>

<p>I need to narrow down the last few colleges to send apps to.</p>

<p>I think Cornell is out because they are very much like Michigan which is in state and therefore much cheaper.</p>

<p>Hopkins I would apply to for the biomedical major, I know they just got a big grant for a B school, but did they have one before?</p>

<p>What are Princeton, Brown, and Carnegie Mellon's programs like?</p>

<p>Try giving Columbia a shot. They have a good business school and a good engineering school, but I'm not sure if there is a combined program. Since you're close to all the big finance companies in NY, you may get some pretty nice internships.</p>

<p>PrincetonReview's "is it a fit" thing is ridiculous, it says that Columbia is a saftey for me.</p>
