<p>The risk of UMICH business vs. the Carroll School of Business...</p>
<p>Business wise, Michigan takes the cake.</p>
<p>Yes, but getting into UMich business is no sure bet...</p>
<p>I'd say UMich econ > Carroll business though...</p>
<p>Is the econ at umich really that good.. better than a business school like Carroll?</p>
<p>I would choose BC if the tuition was similar, and you weren't a pre-admit into Ross. If you are one of those, pick UM, otherwise, go to BC and UM(or similar) for grad.</p>
<p>"Is the econ at umich really that good.. better than a business school like Carroll?". Michigan has a top 15 Econ program, particularly at the undergraduate level, so it is "really that good" in Econ. But is it better than Carroll? I guess that depends on what you want. Ross is clearly better than Carroll, but comparing Michigan Econ to Carroll is like comparing apples to oranges. Think about what you want to get out of caollege and go from there.</p>
<p>i would go to BC. all of the new yorkers i've met here basically apply to BC and Michigan. if they get rejected from BC, they come to Michigan.</p>
<p>you should also consider if you prefer public vs. private, small vs. large.</p>
<p>Forgiven, I find that hard to believe. Michigan is as slective as BC.</p>
<p>Perhaps if i put it this way...</p>
<p>If i don't get into U of Mich's business school i can always tranfer out into my state school Rutgers after 2 years and attend the business which starts at the beginning of junior year here. Campus wise i prefer Umich much more than i do BC </p>
<p>Also i own my small business, have an internship at a bank this summer and if i work hard during my first year at umich.. shouldnt that make me really competitive?</p>
<p>Nyyankee, Michigan Econ trumps Rutgers Business. In fact, I would say Michigan Econ trumps most Business schools ranked out of the top 10.</p>
<p>I'm so confused.</p>
<p>Considering my experience in business do you think that would give me an advantage or is that not even considered when you apply? and would that make me more competitive if it is?</p>
<p>Well, I applied EA to BC and got into their honors program. Applied in September to Mich, was deferred, waitlisted, and then got in around late May. I didn't get into the honors program.</p>
<p>Although purely anecdotal, I can only conclude that Michigan is more selective.</p>
<p>If i were to be rejected from Ross than is the Econ degree possibly double major in math comparable to a finance major from another business school? </p>
<p>I want to major in International Business and Finance and BC doesn't even offer International Business. But seeing how 2300 kids applied pre-admit its going to be really tough next year.</p>
<p>Both schools are top 15 as ranked by Business Week for undergrad business. UMich has the sure edge at the grad level, but the schools are nearly equal for undergrad. BC doesn't have Int'l Biz, but their Finance Department is certainly the strongest and most highly regarded nationally, and you can also get an international studies major/minor, or take internationally geared courses within the finance concentration.
I feel like both schools are equally regarded and very comparable. BC especially is high regarded in the Northeast/Boston area (regional bias?) For me, I chose BC because I liked the BC focus on undergrads, the smaller size, and the city of Boston.</p>
