Looking to major in business in some form or the other as an Undergraduate. I have expressed interest in larger schools with great alumni networks such as UT Austin, USC, UMich. Looking for schools that place well for graduate schools and have a level of prestige.
Considering the information above, what schools would you recommend I look at based off my qualifications?
bump. any schools you would recommend even if it is only one would really help. very much appreciated in advance
bump? any schools one may recommend?
Notre Dame’s business program is one of the best in the country. Consider also Indiana a good business school, they give out merit and not too many California kids applying
UPenn - Wharton, UVA - McIntire, NYU - Stern, IU - Kelley, UCB - Haas (soph transfer though)
thanks for the advice! I thought I would be applying to their business schools when going for masters?? or is that straight out of high school?
UMich Ross for sure. Apply for pre admit, I’m a pre admit for the class of 2020. Top 3 undergrad business school (and is strong in all concentrations) with a Big 10 experience. Pre admit ACT average is 33 and I didn’t take the SAT so I don’t know how it compares exactly but I think you are competitive. Ross is definitely ahead of Mendoza, Kelley, and McIntire, and is peers with Haas and Stern. I know several people who have gone to Ross. One is currently at Harvard MBA, one is at Boston Consulting, and the other at UChicago MBA. Ross can’t be beat.
If you get into UMich Ross - take it. If you get into UMich LSA/Engineering, I would still take it.
