<p>I’m a sophmore at a CC in illinois, and I’m planning to double major in Accounting/Finance and I’m debating which school would be a better for Undergraduate business, my chances of getting in, and where you think I would like it better.</p>
<p>My gpa is going to be somewhere between 3.5 to 3.8, I have an ACT of 33, I’m president of the Business Club at my CC and I have 30 semester hours worth of AP’s at both schools. At the end of this year I’m planning to relocate to one of the schools and sit out of school for a year to get my residency. I understand you need to be financially independent and not attend school for a year, so does anyone have any experience on the difficulty on getting residency at either place? And what are my chances of getting in to either place?</p>
<p>Basically, my question is where do you think I’d be better suited for my major, based on the criteria of me getting in and getting residency. I’ve done alot of research on the topic, such as rankings, job placement, endowment, ratio of girls to guy (:P), etc. But I’d like some first hand opinions, and I would greatly appreciate them. </p>
<p>If you have any questions, or can offer any insight whatsoever, please do.</p>
<p>The accounting program at Fisher (Ohio State’s business college) is extremely well-regarded, and many accounting companies recruit here for interns and full time employees. There is also a honors program specifically for accounting majors. I’m a finance major in my senior year at Fisher, and I’ve been very happy with my education and the career opportunities available to me. A motivated business student here has access to lots of special programs, lots of clubs, lots of recruiting events and job fairs, and an excellent career center. I’ve been able to do two paid summer internships through job fairs hosted by the business college, and the most recent company I interned with gave me a full time job offer, which I’ve now accepted. I really have very few complaints about the overall experience.</p>
<p>As to whether or not you could get in, I think you would likely have no problem, but I know nothing about the residency requirements. I do think in-state tuition is a fairly good deal for the quality of education Ohio State offers. Columbus also has a fairly good economy and a low cost of living, if you are concerned about supporting yourself while you work for a year.</p>
