<p>In terms of Business opportunities: Chicago, UVA and Georgetown</p>
<p>Chicago, UVa and Georgetown</p>
<p>Best according to businessweek (<a href=“http://images.businessweek.com/ss/09/02/0226_best_undergrad_bschools/33.htm[/url]”>http://images.businessweek.com/ss/09/02/0226_best_undergrad_bschools/33.htm</a>) , which i happen to agree with</p>
<p>1.UVA
2.Boston College
3.Carnegie Mellon
4.G-town
5.Chicago</p>
<p>also forgot to mention Chicago didn’t even make the top 50 probably because it doesn’t have an undergraduate business program???, Econ/math, yes chicago is #1 but for u-grad business (assuming you want to study finance, accounting, etc) it’s #5.</p>
<ol>
<li>uchicago (coined free markets)</li>
<li>uva</li>
<li>cmu (i heard they have a strong quant program)</li>
</ol>
<p>Cut Boston College and CMU.</p>
<p>BC = religious affiliation and cold weather.
CMU = lack of girls and normal people.</p>
<p>I’d recommend (in this order)
UVA
Georgetown
Chicago</p>
<p>nice reasons^^^ =/</p>
<p>While you’re at college to learn, having a social life is also pretty important to your well-being. CMU is notoriously lacking in attractive women and is primarily made up of geeky science type kids. It’s not really somewhere I’d go for a good social scene.</p>
<p>Boston College is in Boston, which can get pretty cold in the winter. Virginia is a lot warmer more of the year. It’s also religiously affiliated, which depending on your own beliefs may or may not be desirable.</p>
<p>1 Chicago
2 Georgetown
3 UVA</p>
<p>Just my gut.</p>
<p>Georgetown also has a religious affiliation (Jesuit) though it isn’t an issue for most people.</p>
<p>why do you need to cut down from 5? </p>
<p>(Asks 3togo who sees nothing wrong with long appilcation lists if the student can do a quality job on the applications)</p>
<p>^ No, I have to cut down from 25 to 12. I cut 11 and still 14 left, tough decisions.</p>
<p>chicago doesn’t have an undergrad b school so it won’t be very good if you want to go for financing or some other buisness.</p>
<p>UVa B school is a 2 year thing where I think u apply to the B-school while ur in the college.</p>
<p>Since CMU is lacking in the social life department (and its aid isn’t so hot, either), I would go with Chicago, Georgetown, Uva (OOS?), or Boston College.</p>
<p>From my perspective, having gone through this decision before, I would go:
<p>Strategically, I would choose Uva OR Chicago because Chicago has no business program (but a very strong econ program) and Uva’s business program is only two years (which means there is less of a chance for you to get in). Now, depending on several factors, you may choose one over the other. Based strictly on program strength, I would choose Chicago. Although do realize that Chicago is not as fun, is colder, and is also a bit lacking in the looks department, not to mention that its application can be demanding (I gave up on mine when I saw those essay questions).</p>
<p>Georgetown is my second choice, because it is a well-rounded school with a strong business program. There is nothing you can really hate about Georgetown (even its religious affiliation is almost non-existent).</p>
<p>Boston College should be the third. It may be the least regarded of the five you listed, but it is still a pretty good school with well-rounded, well, everything. I assume that Boston College is a high match if you are aiming high. It’s good to have a strong match school to fall back on. And I would like to add that Boston College’s application is the easiest one of the five, as it has no supplemental essays, just a little form that you have to sign.</p>
<p>BTW, Boston is nowhere NEAR as cold as Chicago.</p>
