Rank Colleges - Where to go? HELP!

<p>Could you please rank the following according to your preferences? I understand that final decision of where to apply will be mine but still, it wouldn't hurt getting other people's opinions</p>

<p>Boston Univ
Boston College
Carnegie Mellon
George Washington Univ
NYU Stern
Tufts
UCLA
USC</p>

<p>Thank you! :)</p>

<p>These are all rather different schools. What field of study are you planning to pursue</p>

<p>I know! I’m planning to pursue Economics but will take up Business if I decide Stern.
Basically I want you to judge these colleges on quality of life, education & of course the experience. I am an International student and not well versed with the cities & campuses.</p>

<p>As a business major from the northeast:</p>

<ol>
<li>Stern</li>
<li>BC/CMU</li>
<li>USC</li>
<li>UCLA</li>
<li>GWU/BU</li>
</ol>

<p>Tufts only has Econ I believe.</p>

<p>Thank you! :slight_smile: But that’s through the point of a Business major. Would you change that choice if you were to take up Econ?</p>

<p>Bc/cmu
usc
nyu
ucla
bu
gw</p>

<p>Depends on what you are looking for–Stern is good for finance. NYU is also amazing for economics.</p>

<p>GW and BU won’t be as strong as the others.</p>

<p>USC and UCLA have good business but they are west coast (so more entrepreneurial and start-up).</p>

<p>BC and CMU undergraduate business I would rate the same. CMU is known to be more tech-focused, however.</p>

<p>And Tufts doesn’t have business but is recruited heavily for finance.</p>

<p>So it just depends what you are looking to do (finance, economics, start-up, etc.). Being a business major or economics or finance major doesn’t matter to firms (though, they will likely give preference to economic majors since that is perceived as more difficult).</p>

<p>Quality of life–Tufts is known for a good quality of life. So is CMU. USC, UCLA, CMU, and Tufts will all have great student-teacher interactions.</p>

<p>NYU Stern
CMU
UCLA
USC
BU
BC
GWU
Tufts</p>

<p>@buzzers I’m looking for a major in Economics and what you’ve said just makes me even more confused! All these colleges sound good. So if you had to choose one which would it be?</p>

<p>For econ – CMU, USC, Tufts, BC, BU</p>

<p>Hi, I would like to know what the criteria to get in Stanford University are. My friend is looking to get in there, even preparing himself for the exams.</p>
