<p>Just got into a bunch of schools : Fordham , Tulane, Elon, Northeastern, Maryland CP, Penn State, USC (With scholarship), American and JMU.</p>
<p>Was wondering which school would be best as far as academic quality/job placement.</p>
<p>I could see myself at any of these schools, so my question is mainly concerning their undergraduate business programs in general-- and where I have the best chance to succeed (whether it be going to a prestigious grad school or landing a good job)</p>
<p>Elon is newly ranked at #60 undergrad biz school by Bloomberg/Business Week. They are a true up and comer…and not NEARLY as expensive as many of the others. Terrific campus atmosphere. D is still considering there along with a couple of other schools. We really like Elon.</p>
<p>Thanks for the reply =]. Yeah whenever someone mentions Elon it is always in a positive light. My Dad has a lot of clients with kids that go there and love it.</p>
<p>As far as academic quality, PSU, Fordham, Northeastern, and Tulane are tops. The others are probably of similar quality though in a lower tier collectively. </p>
<p>Of the schools that I know on this list, PSU and Tulane are known to be recruited by Big 4 should you go accounting. Tulane and Penn State are the only schools on this list that don’t fall victim to regional inferiority. Schools like American, Fordham, and Northeastern have to compete with more prestigious schools within even a few miles of campus.</p>
<p>Thus, from a strictly academic and recruiting standpoint, your best choices will be Tulane and PSU.</p>
<p>These are all decent schools and quite a selection. Good luck!</p>
<p>Thanks trizz, I know PSU is a powerhouse but I feel like I won’t get the same kind of close networking I would get at a smaller school. </p>
<p>Fordham seems like an ideal choice for its proximity to the city makes it great for internships and it’s business school (Gabelli) seems really linked and caring. As a potential finance major I always turn back to N.Y because it really is an amazing city to be tied to.</p>
<p>Tulane also seems like a great choice because of its academic standing and reputation. But at the same time I don’t know too much of how connected the students are to one another and if the networking would be too hot there. </p>
<p>NE looked great but I’m hot and cold with the co-op program because if I do choose to pursue a MBA I don’t want to be stuck in a 5 year program.</p>
