International business major

<p>Can anybody suggest good business schools that offer IB major?</p>

<p>My D recently got her SAT scores. With 1350 SAT and 3.3 GPA any good schools she might apply?</p>

<p>1350 out of 1600 or 2400?</p>

<p>out of 1600 of corse</p>

<p>What's a "D"?</p>

<p>If she wants to do International Business then she better be prepared to do a double major in a different business field. International Business is a really broad field that covers international econ, international finance, international management, etc. She should also be prepared to learn a new language (optional but recommended).</p>

<p>Probably the best known undergraduate schools that offer International Business as a major are USC, NYU, Brigham Young, and Oregon, although it should be realized that almost all top schools offer the major. Some top undergraduate business schools that your daughter could get into with a 1350 SAT and a 3.3 UW GPA are Brigham Young, Oregon, Indiana, Boston College, Purdue, Fordham, San Diego State, Bentley, Northeastern, Univ of Pittsburgh, Univ of Colorado, and possibly Ohio State and/or Penn State.</p>

<p>Wow dude. You totally did not mention the #1 international business school in the country. The University of South Carolina (Assuming the "USC" you mentioned is the University of Southern California). You might consider Temple University, UC Berkeley, Georgetown, University of Washington, or U. Michigan as well.</p>

<p>Our IB program here at Temple is really, really fantastic.</p>

<p>Yes, leaving out the University of South Carolina was a major mistake on my part. I think it's because I'm still miffed at them for a bet I lost a week ago when they "tanked" in the second half of their football game against LSU.</p>

<p>But, now that I got that off my chest, the USC (South Carolina) program has been ranked #1 by USNWR in I believe 3 out of the last 4 years--so my apologies for the massive oversight.</p>

<p>I would like my daughter stay in Northeast. So as much as South Carolina sounds inviting I don't think either USC is in the cards. Besides, I'm not a big fan of Steve Spurrier, especially after his exits from Florida and Redskins.</p>

<p>While I agree (Gators fan), that's a terrible reason for her not to go to a school.</p>

<p>Haha thanks calcruzer.</p>

<p>jb12- "I don't think either USC is in the cards"
What do you mean by this?</p>

<p>Good luck trying to find a business school with that kind of attitude. Look, if there is one thing I have learned during my college search process, it has been to keep an open mind about colleges. The school may not be an ivy league, or may not have all the top companies coming to it, or may not even have football coaches you like, but that is certainly not a reason to rule them out. Hell, I know people at my not-good-enough-for-you school who have done interviews for prestigious companies alongside Harvard and U. Penn grads...and they obtained job offers. Ultimately, it's your daughter who has to take the initiatives during her 4 years of college. It's her who has to put in the effort to get that job she wants.</p>

<p>Well someone's insulted...Did it take you a half hour to figure out what 'not in the cards' means? Some education you're getting...</p>

<p>What I meant is that both South California and South Carolina would not be a choice no matter how good schools they might be. I just can't send my 17 year old that far West or South.</p>

<p>First, I did not know what "not in the cards" means. Too bad they don't teach rarely used expressions at my business school. Second, of course I would be insulted if it sounded like someone was insulting my school. But what's wrong with giving a little insight to the thread maker?</p>

<p>'Not in the cards' is a traditional American phrase...</p>

<p>I guess I'm too old to learn new phrases. But all's well that ends well I'm sure everybody's intentions on CC are too enlighten each other.</p>
