<p>I was at the library today, and was looknig at a wall street journal book on best business colleges. Unfortunately, BC wasn’t on that list. Can anyone confirm that BC is truly good at business?</p>
<p>it was just ranked #14 in business.</p>
<p>Here's a link to the 2007 Business Week ranking for undergrad Business Programs...</p>
<p>are there any other sources that have Carroll ranked highly?</p>
<p>US News has Carroll as 29 and i believe there is another ranking out there that has them somewhere in the low to mid 20s</p>
<p>BC is a great school for business. Graduates get good starting jobs and are in a decent position for grad school. Also, the network of BC's Carrol School of Management is second to none.</p>
<p>lets not go that far</p>
<p>we can always count on ckmets13......</p>
<p>BC is VERY good at business, and if you are interested in finance particularly, BC's dept is top 15, I believe. CSOM (Carroll School of Management)'s network, especially within Boston itself, IS truly invaluable. I've heard multiple times that BC biz grads "run the city". BC tends to have very good job placement in NYC, and nearly all of the top firms (Goldman Sachs, Barclays, etc.) recruit on campus. The job placement is steadily increasing with BC's rankings/prestige...basically, CSOM seems to be a school on the rise.</p>
<p>Also, when looking at biz. school rankings, make sure they are referring to undergrad only. Many times I see rankings and BC is absent, only to realize that I am looking at MBA/grad school rankings. CSOM does have a good grad school, but undergrad is definitely better known and more prestigious.</p>
<p>EVERYTHING that xcjimmy1228 has posted is true. My son is a freshman in CSOM living on upper campus. He was in the same situation about deciding between top schools and chose BC. But I must say, it wasn't a difficult decision for him. He is so happy there. My husband and I don't make a lot of money and we didn't get much financial assistance. We just won't take that vacation, or buy that new car. BC is worth every penny! I also want to say that we don't personally know of anyone who DOESN"T love it there or regrets their decision to attend.</p>
<p>well now you know of one person. haha just kidding but i definitely do regret my decision to attend BC. anyway, all I was doing was saying that its ridiculous to say that Carroll's network is "second to none." Its pretty good, but there are dozens of schools with better networks.</p>
<p>Ckmets, </p>
<p>Don't you think it may be better for you to not post on this forum anymore? You seem to feel the need to negatively weigh in on almost every thread. If you didn't like BC, move on. There is no need to sit here and badmouth it.</p>
<p>ckmets, where do you wish you went instead?</p>
<p>/are you working on transferring?</p>
<p>If you look at all my posts, you can see I have said good things about BC. The network is good, but "second to none" is not appropriate. Have you ever heard of Wharton? Yes I am working on transferring, and I kinda wish I attended Hopkins instead, but there are quite a few good things about BC, if you actually read my posts you will find out that most of them are not all negative, just the truth.</p>
<p>you seem to be very dis pointed that BC students do not support their teams, JHU is not known for its teams/support, im not really sure why you would have liked it better.</p>
<p>i personally think ckmets is a valuable asset to this forum. if it weren't for him/her, every forum would contain people with utopian ideals of their respective college with may not necessarily be accurate. ckmets provides prospective students with an idea of the good and bad of BC. if people come to this forum and asks how college life is and is repeatedly told these fantasy like stories, how would people ultimately decide on which college they plan to attend?</p>
<p>I personally am having a tuff time. Even though BC is AMAZING at business, I have been accepted to UMICH, and am having a tuff time deciding since UMICh will cost me 40,000 more</p>
<p>i'n not well versed of uMich's policy of getting into Ross, but if i can recall correctly, aren't you chosen for the business program after you enroll into uMich? if thats the case... uMich would be a risk to enroll into, but if you feel confident that you'll be admitted to Ross, then go to uMich; otherwise, go to BC</p>
