<p>I’m either going to UAB or Alabama and I was wondering how good Alabama’s school of business is?</p>
<p>Also, has anyone received any additional scholarships?</p>
<p>I received the Presidential scholarship and emailed my local Alabama admissions counselor or whatever back in early February and she said that they’d be sending stuff out in mid-March. I didn’t receive anything last week, so I’m expecting something this week or nothing at all.</p>
<p>So, did anyone receive any additional scholarships?</p>
<p>I’m sure UAB’s is just fine, but I’d figure UA’s is better. </p>
<p>Now, you say you got a Presidential Scholarship but are still awaiting notification on it? How does that work?</p>
<p>No…I’ve received my notification on the Presidential Scholarship a longggggggggg time ago.</p>
<p>I’m talking about notification of other possible scholarships, such as departamental scholarships.</p>
<p>My son, too, received notification on the Presidential scholarship back in November. He received his NM offer about 10 days ago, but one more program plans to announce scholarship information the last week in March.</p>
<p>Just some personal experience. Go to Alabama if you plan on majoring in Accounting or some other useful business degree because of the regional professional connections. But if you are not sure on your major, carefully weigh your options. I’ve had two friends graduate with marketing and management degrees respectively from UA and they haven’t found a full-time position in almost a year. Granted, we are in a terrible recession but still…</p>
<p>UA, UAB, and other business schools all teach the same materials required by the business school accredidation agency. I’ve met alumni from both business schools and they are highly regarded in the Birmingham community. And so are Montevallo alums. And Troy alums. and Auburn alums. Overall, it’s most important that you go to the school where you feel that you fit in and most of all succeed.</p>
<p>Thanks for your help, tester.</p>
<p>I was actually looking into majoring in business management as I plan on being a dentist and running (atleast partly) a practice one day. The business aspect is where most practices tend to fail, and I want to have a solid business background so I know what I’m doing when it comes to running the practice. Also, if I decide that dentistry isn’t for me and I’m not really interested in going to school for another 4+ years for dental/med or whatever the case may be, business gives many fallback options.</p>
<p>I could end up gaining some work experience and getting my MBA to make further advances in the business field.</p>
