<p>Hey, I was wondering If anyone can name some smaller schools that had any where from 1,000 to 17,000 undergraduates. That are ranging from the Midwest, the south, and the north east that would be a good fit for me, thanks:</p>
<p>I am a male from Georgia, and planning on majoring in finance.</p>

Class Council: Class representative (2), Secretary (10-12)

<p>What about schools like Northeastern, American University, Bentley, Babson, University of Connecticut, Miami University in OH, Fordham University, Pace University, and Drexel University.</p>
<p>UConn, Miami of OH, Babson, (and maybe Fordham) are good schools. All the rest, particularly Northeastern and American, are complete poser schools. Don't fall for their marketing machine hype.</p>
<p>I wouldn't recommend Connecticut or Miami OH for business. </p>
<p>It's hard, because there aren't many LAC's or medium sized schools that have great business programs that you can get into with your stats. </p>
<p>You have schools like Wake Forest, Carnegie Mellon, Wash U, Emory, Notre Dame, USC, Georgetown and NYU that are all reaches.</p>
<p>Maybe Case Western Reserve U would be a good fit for you, or possibly Boston U and Boston C. I second Babson, also check out Bentley. Tulane, Syracuse, SMU, BYU, I don't know what exactly you're looking for, other than a medium sized school with decent business. Denver, Miami, and Rochester are also great regionally.</p>
<p>Thanks for your comment. But I am thinking of going to a school in Georgia for 2 years, just to get my core academic classes done. Like maybe Berry College, or Mercer University. Then transfer to a top college in my junior year to maybe Emory, Georgetown, Carnegie Mellon, etc.</p>
<p>All I have to say to A2Wolves6 is that I go to UConn's business school, and just got an internship with ING Investment Management. It is a very hard internship to get, and I got it partly due to UConn's great reputation in business....so? Why would you not recommend UConn Business?</p>
<p>What do you think my chances are at: UConn, University of Pittsburgh, Georgia Tech, UGA, University of Indiana, Syrcuse, Bentley, Northeastern, and maybe Clemson, Auburn, and University of South Carolina- Columbia? Thanks.</p>
<p>Thanks. I will probably apply to UConn EA. Since Pitt and Indiana are rolling I will probably apply as early as possible. Does this change anything for UConn, Pitt, and Indiana???</p>
<p>Thanks. I think im going to plan on transfering after my junior year in college. In your first 2 years of college dont you just do the core academic classes? Also, will it matter will I go for my first 2 years, since I am going to transfer?</p>
<p>I wouldn't recommend UConn for business because it's not strong in business. It's not ranked anywhere near the top of the US News rankings for undergrad business, and it doesn't have a great regional reputation (mainly because of the plethora of other schools in the area that supercede it in prestige). It's graduate school isn't near others in the northeast. </p>
<p>AHS - for the first two years, if you're looking to transfer in-state to the state U (UGA or Ga Tech), then you can go to a CC and take your core classes, then transfer. If you're looking to transfer to an OOS and more prestigious school, remember you need a reason for your transfer which will be very important towards your admission, and at your university you will need a very high GPA. Also, the selective business schools like Emory aren't looking for transfers from less prestigious programs, rather schools that will make their current student body better, so don't assume anything in the transfer process. Make sure the school you end up going to you wouldn't mind spending 4 years there and getting a degree there.</p>
<p>Thanks. What business prgrams are considered good, out of the US New rankings for undergrad business? Could you provide me the list? It would help a lot, thanks.</p>
<p>The problem with the undergrad business rankings is that a lot (many!) of the top universities and LACs do not offer undergrad business degrees, yet many of their students are completely capable of and go directly into business right out of undergrad. An undergrad business degree (except for accounting) is really kind of sketchy. Its funny how so many kids think "I'll major in business and become a manager right out of skool". Doesn't work that way...An undergraduate business degree is no substitute for real world experience.</p>
