Lehigh vs. UMich

College Search & Selection
1

<p>I was accepted into UMich LSA and Lehigh as a transfer. I will be a junior. I am a journalism and business management double major, minoring in economics. I plan to go to law school upon my graduation in 2010.</p>

<p>If I go to UMich, I will study economics and possibly communication as well. I would like to study "the arts" along with something practical such as economics. I would like to do UMich's 3 year BBA program to continue studying management, but I believe they will only accept up to sophomores and I am not willing to spend an extra year in school even if they agree to accept me.</p>

<p>Lehigh's advantage is that it has all three areas of study I am currently taking. I have not taken any management courses at my current school, but I have several journalism and economics. I am not sure if Lehigh will admit me into their business college - I have yet to check this.</p>

<p>Money is not an issue, and I want to graduate in 4 years and I want to get into a top law school (hopefully Yale.) Either way, I will study economics at whichever school I attend, whether I major or minor in it. Which school should I choose??</p>

<p>I am also waiting decisions from:</p>

<p>Barnard
NYU
USC
BU (but will probably turn down)</p>

<p>Which school is best for economics, if I am down to UMich or Barnard? Both schools do not offer journalism.</p>

<p>But overall, if I can study my three fields at any school, which would be the best?</p>

<p>But obviously, I have only gotten into Lehigh and UMich as of yet. Advice would be GREATLY appreciated!! :)</p>

<p>I'd choose UMich. Lehigh to me...... ehhhhhh. It's questionable.</p>

<p>If you don't mind women's colleges, you might even be best at Barnard. Personally, I wouldn't like that environment (single sex was just never for me), but I think you can get a solid education at all of the schools you applied to. If you really care about going into journalism, USC would be the best. UMich is by far the best for econ (were you accepted to Ross?), and that's why I thoroughly suggest UMich.</p>

<p>Is UMich generally considered more prestigious than Lehigh? I know people's opinions on colleges can differ greatly. So an economics degree from UMich would be more valuable than one from Lehigh?</p>
