<p>What are they? I want to apply to at least 8-10 schools next year in the states, all with top business programs. My aim, however, is to then pursue my MBA at a top school, perhaps an ivy, so given that, is it BETTER to go to an undergraduate school, or go to a top school regardless if they have an undergraduate business or (BCom) program.</p>

<p>Off the top of my head, and in no particular order:</p>
<p>UPenn Wharton
NYU Stern
UMich Ross
UT McCombs
UVA McIntire</p>
<p>These five always come to mind.</p>
<p>What about Emory??</p>
<p>Goizueta, Georgetown McDonough, Cornell AEM, are also all great.</p>
<p>I know this is off-topic, but who is watching CNBC’s MBA challenge?</p>
<p>I would add MIT Sloan to the list.</p>
<p>Didn’t see it on but watched some clips on YouTube :)</p>

<p>(according to Business Week)</p>
<p>The link collegebound07 gave is better…those rankings make much more sense.</p>
<p>Thanks guys that helps me out a lot :)</p>
<p>I know that UC Berkeley Haas School of Business is definitely the top public school’s business school. I’m not too familiar with the others but I know that for finance they would be:</p>
<p>UC Berkeley
Carnegie Mellon
NYU
Stanford
Columbia
Princeton
University of Chicago</p>
<p>For lesser known but still good finance schools, even though I dont know if thats what youre interested in:
Georgia Institute of Technology
Cornell
Illinois Institute of Technology
Baruch College
UMich
Claremont Graduate University</p>
<p>Alex-m, besides ranking the various undergraduate business schools, [Business</a> Week](<a href=“http://www.businessweek.com/bschools/07/undergrad/index.html]Business”>http://www.businessweek.com/bschools/07/undergrad/index.html) also looked at their Placements at top MBA Schools, and here are how the schools matched up:</p>
<p>1: Cornell
2: UVA/McIntire
3: Washington U./Olin
4: UC Berkeley/Haas
5: Georgetown/McDonough
6: Michigan/Ross
7: U. Penn/Wharton
8: MIT/Sloan
9: Emory/Goizueta
10: William & Mary/Mason
11: Notre Dame/Mendoza
12: Carnegie Mellon/Tepper
13: U. Richmond/Robins
14: Boston College/Carroll
15: North Carolina/Kenan-Flagler</p>
<p>I’m a bit surprised that Wharton was #7 and NYU was #22.</p>
<p>@sevitagen, if you didn’t get your college information from stupid gameshows you would know that Sloan does not have an undergraduate division.</p>
<p>Uh… you can get a B.B.A or B.Sc Economics from the Sloan School of Management at MIT as an undergraduate… -_-;</p>
<p>Read the website man and stop criticizing others.</p>
<p>What about Georgetown? How does it rank in comparison to the big dawgs?</p>
<p>Post #12: LOL!</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Depends on really what you do. It’s not gonna hurt you anyway if you hit a school in the top 10. Where your MBA takes place really is how you do at work, and not so much from school. Your school, will basically be a great place to start, and decide placement into what kind of job market.</p>
<p>Uh off the top of my head</p>
<p>U-Penn
MIT
U-Michigan
UC Berkeley
Indiana University
Emory
UVa
Georgetown
Notre Dame
NYU</p>
<p>MIT Sloan’s undergraduate is “Management Science” only. Not really a full undergraduate business curriculum. Still, my mistake, but I doubt that’s the kind of program the OP is looking for if he’s looking for an undergraduate business school.</p>

<p>Apparently, it’s pretty good school too, according to businessweek, but what do they know, right? Thank you for your great insight, PhatAlbert.</p>
