<p>Out of these, which is the best for getting recruited in business? I'm not necessarily talking about U.S. News, but based on anyone's experience, etc.</p>
<p>Bentley College
Georgetown University
Columbia University
University of Chicago (Economics)
Wharton (Penn)
USC
Boston College</p>
<p>I've seen the rankings, no need to link to U.S. News- just want to know if anybody's opinions or personal/family/friend experiences at these schools and getting recruited for a good job deviated from U.S. News or BusinessWeek rankings</p>
<p>also, would it be easier to get into Georgetown's McDonough School of Business by applying directly to it as a freshman applicant or applying to Georgetown College and doing an internal transfer?</p>
<p>Wharton is obviously best, followed by Columbia and Chicago and finally Georgetown and USC. The other schools are decent, but they aren't quite at the same level.</p>
<p>UC Berkeley (Haas)
USC (Marshall)
NYU (Stern)
Harvard
MIT (Sloan)
Chicago
Northwestern (Kellogg)
UCLA (Econ)
Penn (Wharton)
Michigan (Ross)
Virginia
UT- Austin (McCombs)</p>
<p>Plus all the flagship public universities.
Flagship schools are almost always the first choice target for the local recruiters.</p>
<p>well if it has to be out of those listed schools.. the answer's obviously Wharton... it's THE FEEDER school to the most top ranked IB positions.
Next comes Chicago.</p>
<p>But really, it depends where you want to work. Obviously the california local firms will more likely to recruit USC graduates than the Chicago or Georgetown Graduates.</p>
<p>For Business School, Location may matter more than the actual prestige of the school.</p>
<p>Bentley is a fantastic school if you want to go into finance or accounting in Boston or the greater New England area. I'd actually argue that we're the top school for those two disciplines in Boston. I've done a few internships in the city and employers love Bentley grads. I work alongside kids from BC, UTexas, BU, and UMichigan, and a lot of these Boston firms would rather have Bentley grads.</p>
<p>The career placement at Bentley is phenomenal (it's why we're so high in BW but not in USNews...BW considers placement and salary, which are huge for business degrees). They also give out great aid, so it's a school to look at if you know you want Boston and want a cheaper alternative.</p>
<p>You should be careful in loking at universities whose reputation was built on their MBA program. There may not be a strong correlation between MBA reputation and undergrad excellence. Some small LACs have excellent business programs. Re: public univ. - Look to those that have a separate undergrad from the grad program, though obviously Wharton and univ. like it are the exception. Some good LAC programs - i.e.,Washington and Lee, Claremont McKenna, Franklin & Marshall,</p>
<p>does being a native hawaiian/pacific islander benefit in any way? i know being asian is a big disadvantage and other minoirity races other than asian are all benefits</p>
<p>There are also management/biz related majors that can compliment econ--mathematical methods for social sciences (arts & sciences school), industrial engineering & management sciences (at engineering school) and learning & organizational change (school of education and social policy).</p>
