<p>ignore alabhya's post...</p>
<p>Indiana & Michigan both have excellent business programs</p>
<p>How about some more detail about what YOU want in college? In a different thread to a parent, I said the S should consider a few things. Such as A school of the size he wants, in a location he wants to live, with classes of the size he would be comfortable with, of appropriate academic rigor, the level of advising (from nonexistent to pervasive) he needs, strong in the types of outside activities he enjoys, that enrolls the types of kids he would want to be friends with?</p>
<p>You should not have trouble finding matches for your interests. There are over 3000 4-year colleges in the country, some are bound to be a fit for you. And outside of the 100 or so in most demand, the rest accept the majority/most of their applicants. So in reality YOU are in the drivers seat. But you're not going to recognize a match until you figure out what YOU want. Posting stats and saying "where should I go" does not reflect this level of preparedness ;)</p>
<p>I think many HS kids don't understand the range of colleges that are out there. Class size averages for classes in your major can be 150, 80, 12. Some schools take pride in an extensive hiking/camping program, some in sending students abroad for a semester, some for getting kids into internships/coops, etc. At some schools you meet regularly with an advisor, at others you're on your own. And there's lots more. So before you pick schools you need to understand what's out there. Reading books about the process is a good beginning; I like "Admission Matters" and there are many other good ones out there. Then visit a few campuses in your area to begin to get a flavor of what various types are like; for example "rural" may be a pleasant abstraction until you're actually standing in one and realize you love it or hate it.</p>
<p>This board is useful for advice about process and specific questions, but since we don't know you its unlikely someone is going to toss out a name that's best for you. And even if they could I think its the wrong approach; getting the name of a school and then looking into what it offers. My suggestion is first figure out what you want, then find schools that offer it.</p>
<p>Its not as if I've never looked at schools before. I realize the amount of schools that are out there. I'm not new to this experience. I've visited many schools already.</p>
