<p>Is there certain advantage of going to a school with "better" business program?
Or is it mostly the location matter?</p>
<p>For example, both the Haas and Marshall undergrad business program are in top 10 in the nation. The only major difference is that one's in no cal, and other's in so cal.</p>
<p>If say you go to a more prestigious school like Haas. Do you get certain advantage for going there? For example, do you get more recruiters for going to Haas? </p>
<p>Just curious.</p>
<p>I think you know the answer to this one. Haas is the better school. Many of the nation's top corporate recruiters go directly to Haas students.</p>
<p>So it's mainly the recruiting that makes it so advantagious over other less prestigious schools. ok.</p>
<p>But what I'm also curious is..</p>
<p>When I apply to Wharton for my grad. school, will they consider which school I went to as undergrad as part of my admission?</p>
<p>So in another word, will someone who graduated from Haas get higher chance of being admitted than someone who graduated from Marshall (and let's assume both got the same exact GPA)?</p>
<p>or is it mostly the Eexperience and GMAT score that matters?</p>
<p>But isn't that the point of going to a top school? To get into a top company and a top position?</p>
<p>we should really have a subforum for business transfers.</p>
<p>Honestly... good luck in getting into Wharton. When they see that you are a CCC transfer student, it really looks bad. You will have a much better chance of getting into other graduate programs at other schools.. but I mean wharton? You better be the top of the top. I'm not saying you won't get in... but these prestigious ivy league schools tend to look down on transfer students from community colleges (even if you have good grades).</p>
<p>well... then I'm screwed.</p>
<p>Some of schools I'm considering:</p>
<p>1.) Wharton
2.) Columbia
3.) University of Chicago
4.) Harvard</p>
<p>I better work my ass off...</p>
<p>Honestly because you are a CCC transfer student, why not take advantage of that and go to grad school at a UC? Go to the anderson school of management at UCLA if you can get in... it will be easier than those other ivy league schools who look down on JC students. UCLA and other UC's won't care as much that you were a transfer.</p>
<p>Thing is, I'd like to go to the East, near New York or Philadelphia, to pursue my career in Business. West is all good too, but... eh... something lacks here.</p>
<p>Dhl has made it abundantly clear (on other boards) that he doesn't feel that Anderson will help him fulfill his goal. Which is fine. </p>
<p>But yeah. </p>
<p>Just trying to avoid that discussion again.</p>
<p>Messy.</p>
<p>maybe i should try NYU.</p>
<p>ummm, colin, where did you hear this? everything you've said runs contrary to what i've heard from grad school admissions. is there some kind of validation of this? or is it all anecdotal evidence. this isnt to look down on your advice, im just curious where you got the information from.</p>
<p>Which grad school admissions told you otherwise? Were they public schools or prestigious private ivy leagues? It all matters on who you are talking to. Public universities tend to not look down as much on transfer students because afterall... CC students represent about 1/3 of all graduating seniors at public universities. They go hand in hand together. However private schools are completely different. Most students who graduate as seniors were there for the full 4 years. This is similar to wanting to transfer to ivy league schools (Harvard, Cornell ect) as a junior from a CC. There is a chance you will get in... but its next to none. Why? Because these schools didn't get their reputation out of nowwhere, they are prestigious because they only accept the best students in the world. And will you agree with me at least that CC students fall short of that (even ones with perfect grades at CC)?</p>
<p>what if a cc transfer student graduated UC Berkeley as Valedictorian?</p>
<p>If a CC student graduated from berkeley as Valedictorian then yes that is an exception (as I stated.. there is always a chance that CC students can get into these ivy leagues), but I mean come on... how often does that happen? Think reality here.</p>
<p>ummm, dude, not only have i spoken with the admissions director of mba wharton admissions personally, but there are also previously recorded transcripts of adcom officers in interviews who say things to the contrary. sooo..yeah.</p>
<p>" how often does that happen? Think reality here."</p>
<p>umm actually that happens quite often.</p>
<p>Uh, if you're applying for grad school they're really only interested in your last 2 years.</p>
<p>Is that really true? I'm not questioning your statement, b/c I'd be really happy if that were true. Can anyone else confirm?</p>
