Schools with Good Math / Business Program

<p>My DS is junior and is accelerated in math and science. Trying to help him come up with list of schools that he would like to consider/visit. He definitely wants to include math, but not as his only focus. Thinking that he should look into programs that would allow him to continue with his interest in math/science but also combine that with some business. I'm thinking that kind of combination will give him more options to consider after he graduates. </p>

<p>Some stats: top 1% of class, taken all honors/AP courses possible, taken lin alg and diff equ @ community college (during soph), will take stat and calc 3 (in jr), 5's in AP Calc BC, Chem, Comp Sc AB. ECs: marching band, jazz ensemble, debate, tennis, class treasurer (fr/soph), FBLA, other misc clubs. Tutors math for middle schoolers, attends language class on wkends. </p>

<p>Looking for university in city/urban area. Campus environment. Oppty to get involved in research/projects.</p>

<p>There are lots of places that meet these goals such as NYU, Carnegie Mellon, Univ. of Pennsylvania, Wash U etc. In addition, many of the state schools would also meet these needs such as University of Maryland, UVA, Michigan,Ohio State and University of Cincinnati (the latter two have strong music and marching band programs). I am sure that many other state schools would meet your needs.</p>

<p>I have to say that MIT came immediately to mind (their Sloan School offering business courses). MIT is a reach for everyone, though, so he would need to have other schools on his list also.</p>
