<p>If money's a big issue, you could always go to TCNJ or Rutgers for undergrad, then get an MBA degree later on at a more prestigious school.</p>
<p>Regarding U.N.C. and Wake, you'll never know unless you try. Alternative Plan "B", seek out good U.S. News "Best Value" LACs like Union, Centre, DePauw and Wofford and study Economics. Then attend a larger university for the M.B.A. The further you get from New Jersey the better for geographical diversity purposes.</p>
<p>Well I know Rutgers and TCNJ are my backups when money truly becomes a problem when my financial aid packages come.</p>
<p>lol but honestly, I'd rather get away from the whole pack of New Jerseyans(?) because both schools have a large presence of kids from NJ (like 90%). I wouldn't mind being with kids from NJ since I mean I am one but I'd rather separate from something like that.</p>
