<p>Alexandre,</p>
<p>If a high school senior interested in investment banking or consulting asked me which school he should choose, I would advise him to major in econ at one of the Ivies over ND or one of the solid state flagship business schools that have been mentioned.</p>
<p>You can disagree with that, but that is the advice a former Goldman banker gave me, and he is a state school alum.</p>
<p>I have no reason to like that advice either, as I graduated from Illinois.</p>
<p>Bill, the OP never said he was looking for a career in IBanking. And the OP has stated that he is not looking for universities that are very selective. If the OP were choosing between say Wharton/Harvard and ND and his goal were to work for an IBank (watch out Barclays!), I would definitely recommend the former. But as it stands, Ithink it is irresponsible to recommend universities and/or programs that are as, or almost as, selective as the Ivy League.</p>
<p>Universities like the Ivies and ND and Michigan, though great, are always listed as the best for business. Its not that they are not good options, but there MUST be schools that aren’t as selective but considered to be good undergrad business schools. I think Villanova so far is the best match from all the suggestions.</p>
<p>What about Rutgers Business School? is it any decent one?</p>

<p>Honestly, you can receive a solid business education at even some directional state schools. In Chicago, Northern Illinois University is one of the larger feeder schools to Big Four firms in that City.</p>
<p>I’ve heard that our business school (Wake Forest) is pretty good. I know lots of business school kids, but I’m not in it, so I’m not entirely sure. You could look in to it. :)</p>
