Should I choose UMich?

<p>Hey everyone!
I'm from NJ. I plan on majoring in something business related.</p>

<p>At this point, I am really only considering UMich, GW (w/ 20k scholarship a year), and Northeastern (10k scholarship for soph, junior, and senior year). I've gotten into Northeastern and GW's business schools but was denied preadmit for Ross for UMich. </p>

<p>I know that UMich is the best academically, but I am afraid of not getting into Ross (the business school) next year. This is probably the one thing that is stopping me from choosing Michigan at the moment. I know that there is other options if I don't get into Ross, but is it worth the risk?</p>

<p>I know ultimately know that this decision is mine but I'd really like insight on the academics, social life, if its worth the money, etc of each of the schools. I am really unsure at this point and your comments will really help me.</p>

<p>Thanks so much!</p>

<p>Honestly, Michigan LSA will open more doors than GW or NEU business schools. </p>

<p>Alexandre, I know what you mean but could you be more specific? </p>

<p>I have the same question!!! I was just admitted by UMich LSA& Econ as a transfer. I don’t know whether the job placement of Econ is good or not. I’m quite worried about this >_<</p>

<p>Geez, is everyone who goes to UMich just interested in going to Ross these days? Economics is a much more rigorous and respected discipline; Econ majors will far outshine undergraduate business majors 10 years down the line in their careers. Go to UMich and don’t look back.</p>

<p>Very few business programs are worth attending over an elite university like Michigan (LSA), and I don’t think GWU and Northeastern aren’t among them.</p>

<p>I have a similar question. Would Umich econ be better than UIUC accounting? </p>
