<p>If you’re thinking about majoring in business, the strength of the program is critical in terms of recruitment. Places like Michigan and NYU with very strong business programs will generally place better post grad than colleges with better overall academic reputations but weaker departments.</p>
<p>As for Carnegie Mellon, as Dad of 3 mentions, if interested in business (Tepper) you should apply directly to the program. From the CMU site:
“We strongly urge you to indicate a program and/
or major preference at the time you apply. Although
you might not declare a major until the end of
your freshman or sophomore year, we do limit
access to certain majors, such as electrical and
computer engineering, computer science and
BUSINESS.”</p>
