<p>I'm looking for some good undergrad business colleges to apply to. I need financial aid, so they will have to be colleges that give aid to international students. This is my preliminary shortlist (not considering whether they give aid or not)-
Cornell
UPenn
Umich
UVA
UCBerkeley
Carnegie Mellon
NYU
Emory
Georgetown
Williams
Amherst
I've added a few liberal arts colleges to the list as well because i'm considering graduating in economics also (instead of a business course).
What other good colleges are there???????</p>
<p>well if you wanna go by the rankings:
[Best</a> Undergraduate Business Programs - Best Colleges - Education - US News and World Report](<a href=“http://colleges.usnews.rankingsandreviews.com/best-colleges/spec-business]Best”>http://colleges.usnews.rankingsandreviews.com/best-colleges/spec-business)</p>
<p>wow MIT has a great business program too</p>
<p>Wharton is probably the best there :)</p>
<p>I agree with gary. But the problem is that I don’t really have the kickass profile needed to make it to Wharton. I’m looking for some good colleges which give aid to int’l students as well. This is a VERY important factor. Please help guys.</p>
<p>Berkeley, UVa, UMich and Carnegie Mellon don’t give ANY aid.</p>
<p>Umm ok. How’s this for a list?</p>
<p>Georgetown
Villanova
Washington at St. Louis
Cornell
Amherst
Williams
Vanderbilt
Duke
Northwestern
Vassar
Colgate
Rochester</p>

<p>Vassar has no business major. Great econ program… but no business. Of course, you don’t need to major in business to have a great business career.</p>
<p>Yeah I know that. I don’t mind majoring in econ. Which is why there are quite a few LACs in my list.</p>
<p>My personal recommendation: Don’t just go by USNWR rankings! </p>
<p>Analyze information from various rankings like: Employer’s Favorite Schools for Hiring, Best Internship and Networking Opportunities, College’s Alumni Resource, Greatest College Return on Investment, Best School’s for Business Ethics (you’d be surprised how important this factor is since Enron’s and Goldman Sachs’ scandals). </p>
<p>Consider all elements that contribute to the “greatness” of the college of your choice like, big cities usually provide better networking and career opportunities etc.</p>
<p>All the best.</p>
<p>Yeah thanx. But I need tons of aid. Any suggestions?</p>
<p>USC has a great business school</p>
<p>If you need tons of aid:</p>
<p>Georgetown -> need blind, will give aid.
Villanova -> limited financial aid, but they have full tuition scholarships that you’d be eligible for (competing against domestics too). I don’t know your stats though.
Washington at St. Louis -> limited aid, competitive.
Cornell -> Tata scholarship, they’ll give you aid.
Amherst -> need blind
Williams -> no longer need blind. Not sure what their new policy is.
Vanderbilt -> no aid available, only merit scholarships. too competitive.
Duke -> no aid.
Northwestern -> limited aid, very very competitive.
Vassar -> offers aid, but not need blind. if you get in, they’ll give you as much aid as you need. Aid will affect your admission chances though. 700 apply, 50-60 get in.
Colgate -> offer aid, but very competitive.
Rochester -> don’t offer aid.</p>
<p>Georgetown is not need blind</p>
<p>Check out Swathmore they are on par with Amherst and if I recall correctly they are need blind.</p>
<p>Williams is still pretty good with aid from what I know. And considering they WL me, I’m assuming they were somewhat in a position to offer aid.</p>
<p>Swarthmore is one of the colleges I would love to attend. Perfect size, perfect location.</p>
<p>Swarthmore is not need-blind. Georgetown isn’t either. Nor is Williams, though Williams meets the demonstrated need of all admitted applicants. However need affects your chance of admission.</p>
<p>Ok thanx…how are Wooster and Chicago with aid???</p>
<p>Wooster gives good aid. Expect no aid from Chicago.</p>
