<p>What are some good business schools that aren't impossible to get into? You know, somewhere below wharton and stern and UMich. Also, how is BC? If it makes a difference I'd probably major in economics or finance. <em>not sure if going into business, but trying not to just focus on what I think I want to do right now, pharmacy</em></p>
<p>Illinois, Wisconsin, OSU, UNC, Indiana, Texas, Purdue.. BC would fit in that group too.</p>
<p>I think UNC is above those.</p>
<p>I don't........Why?</p>
<p>CMU,UNC,UT-Austin, USC,UVA</p>
<p>thanks for all the suggestions guys. Any respectable program is good. keep them coming</p>
<p>You don't apply to Michigan directly for business so take that into account, especially comparing it to Wharton/Stern</p>
<p>I already knew that (which is why i'm not considering it)</p>
<p>Oh. I thought you were alluding that the admission standards were comparable to Wharton, as in the business applicants are looked upon more harshly.</p>
<p>Definitely Tepper, its acceptance rate this year was 19%. Its also got #1 ranked job rankings by recruiters/employers so its really great.</p>
<p>I go to Stern and here is how I would rate business schools
1. Wharton/MIT
2. Stern/Tepper
3. Rest</p>
<p>And don't say UVa, uva is like 14th in business.</p>
<p>BC is pretty far down the USNWR rankings:
1. Wharton
2. MIT
3. Berkeley, Michigan
5. NYU
6. CMU, UNC, Texas
9. USC, UVa
11. Indiana, UIUC, WUSTL
14. Cornell, Minnesota, Wisconsin
17. Emory, Ohio State, Purdue
20. Michigan State, Penn State, Arizona, Maryland, Notre Dame
25. Arizona State, Case Western, Florida, Washington
29. Babson, Georgetown, Texas A&M, Georgia, Wake Forest
34. BC, Georgia Tech, Southern Methodist, Iowa</p>
<p>Celebrian, typically, Wharton is considered the best. Following Wharton are Haas (Cal), Ross (Michigan) and Sloan (MIT). I would say after those, you have a bunch of top BBA programs, including NYU (Stern), CMU (Tepper), UVA (McIntire), Texas (McCombs), UNC (Kenan Flagler) and USC (Marshall). But it really depends what you want to do. If you wish to go into IBanking, Stern is practically as good as Wharton and slightly better than Ross and Sloan. If you are interested in Accounting, USC (Marshall may be the best of the bunch. </p>
<p>Furthermore, if you are planning on studying business because you feel it is the only way to get a good job when you graduate, think again. If you go to a good university, you will have many oppostunities, even if you major in a field like Economics or Math. So do not limit yourself based on pre-concieved notions.</p>
<p>And by the way, Boston college is decent program, but it does not belong in the same league as the 10 or so schools listed above.</p>
<p>How come UVA's undergrad biz school is different than the MBA biz school(Darden)? Just wondering.</p>
<p>If I had to venture a guess, I would say that McIntire and Darden were founded at different times by funding originating from separate , independent people/organizations. As such, the programs, bearing the names of their original patrons, bear different names.</p>
<p>I just wish to explore my options before I really make a decision, it's not about how lucrative it is at all. Thanks for everyone's help, it is much appreciated</p>
<p>The easiest of the top business schools to get into is Babson, if you're a good student, Babson would be an excellent safety.</p>
<p>By the way Celebrian, you can now apply directly to Ross from High School, but the odds of getting in aren't good. Then again, neither are the odds of getting into Sloan or Wharton.</p>
<p>for best:
1. wharton. The oldest bschool=most connections
2 stern/sloan (Stern is a BS degree, not a BBA). My friend out of sloan do amazing and my friends out of Stern are doing amazing. I expect Stern to be even better with it's endowment and location, in the future
3. the rest</p>
<p>If you want to do Accounting, check out UT Austin. They have the #1 Accounting program and the PPA program is nice.</p>
<p>But like Alexandre said, it kind of depends on what you want to do.</p>
<p>for quantitative analysis/IT business, i suggest sloan and tepper.</p>
