<p>Our son is debating between PSU Smeal business school & UMD where he got into Letters & Sciences, but in Markets & Society program that better preps students to apply to business school (80% acceptance vs. 62% otherwise). He fell in love with PSU but also liked UMD, although both have pros/cons. Any insight would be appreciated.</p>
<p>PSU-Smeal has better recruiting, alumni and internships…</p>
<p>If he had been admitted to Smith, this would have been a wash…</p>
<p>I have been very impressed by the output of PSU business faculty research. PSU also seems to be ranked higher than UMd. I know rankings are pretty subjective, but people/employers are influenced by them. In short, I don’t think this is a close decision.</p>
<p>What happened to the FIRST thread with the same query by the same poster?</p>
<p>As I am new to CC, I think I have the first thread on more than forum. I wasn’t sure which one would get more responses…Sorry for any confusion…</p>
