Help a Junior, low GPA, HIGH SAT! LATE BLOOMER!

<p>I had it on, but I hear it’s not in a same area of Philly, which is why I’m leaning towards Drexel more. BUT they have abroad options, I would love to go Temple in Japan, etc. </p>

<p>The main thing that intrigues me about Drexel is their Business and Engineering program which sounds awesome and one of a kind.</p>

<p>Can anyone else provide input? I’m also leaning towards majoring in Finance+Entrepreneurship (double major), or International Business if that helps.</p>

<p>[University</a> of Dayton : Undergraduate: School of Business Administration](<a href=“Department of MIS, OSC and Business Analytics : University of Dayton, Ohio”>Department of MIS, OSC and Business Analytics : University of Dayton, Ohio)</p>

<p>A person who works for me majored in Entrepreneurship and did study abroad in Asia (Thailand, Japan, Korea, etc). New student housing being built right now, too.</p>

<p>That’s pretty cool. If you din’t mind me asking why did you hire him? Was it his study abroad experience?</p>

<p>Not for his study abroad. He was engaging during the interview, had been on the group that invested a portion of the Us endowment (competitive selection), and had econometrics classes.</p>

<p>So you own your company? From your experience, what majors are good? Do you think finance + international business major and an entrepreunership minor is smart? Or accounting, MIS, econ, comp sci, or other majors to be safer?</p>

<p>Look into Bentley University. It’s in Waltham, Massachusetts (suburban Boston), specializes in business, and has a nice campus. My daughter just did a high school leadership program there and I was impressed with the campus. [Home</a> | Bentley University](<a href=“http://www.bentley.edu/]Home”>http://www.bentley.edu/)</p>

<p>OP, I don’t own my own company. I’m a manager in a consulting firm. For safety I might recommend Comp Sci. There always seem to be openings in that field.</p>

<p>I think you’ll have a lot of good options. The trajectory is not that uncommon, and really strong grades soph & junior years & first half of senior year will be telling. You might try calculating your UC gpa. </p>

<p>What other schools ignore grades earned in 9th grade?</p>

<p>I think UC’s and CSU’s do. My soph and junior year were strong, and i’m gonna work hard senior year. What schools do you think I have good options at?</p>

<p>Comp, MSI or IT sound interesting for a minor or something.</p>

<p>How about any schools in NY? I love the state, but I’m leaning more towards the city.</p>

<p>Like Fordham back in Post #8?</p>

<p>I knew fordham, but is that the only school available?</p>

<p>Bumppp! Anyone please? Looking at schools in NY, cali, chicago-indiana-ohio area, texas, florida, east coast, etc. Need a business school with good connections and hopefully a good study abroad program.</p>

<p>Also, I just received my ACT scores, I scored a 28 composite. 29 math, 29 science, 28 reading, 25 english.</p>

<p>DePaul (Well connected in Chicago), Pitt, Indiana Bloomington (you won’t get direct admit to Kelly Business School there but you’ll get into the University).</p>

<p>I have pitt and Indiana on my list. I’ll look into DePaul. Why wouldn’t I get into the business school? Is there a way i can get in later?</p>
