<p>The Complete 2012 Business Schools Ranking - Businessweek</p>
<p>This is a Graduate School ranking (i.e., Chicago and Harvard don’t have undergrad business programs) and therefore not relevant to the OP.</p>
<p>I haven’t checked in a while, but historically there have been lots of lenders to students at top business schools. I would think that is till the case.</p>
<p>???</p>
<p>Which “lots of lenders” have been lending to undergrads at top B-schools as incoming frosh? Even if there were some awhile ago, things have toughened up banking wise.</p>
<p>That said, I’d be surprised if banks were lending large amounts to 18 year olds going to college (w/o co-signers who were the real qualifiers). </p>
<p>There was a time that Sallie Mae was lending to undergrads w/o co-signers but with all the defaults, that hasn’t been the case for awhile.</p>
<p>Anyway…the OP needs to make a decision. </p>
<p>If the student NEEDS large merit in order to afford college, then he won’t likely get to go to a top ranked B-school. Those schools have too many kids with higher stats, and if they do give out some large merit awards, they’re going to give it to the ones with the 2280+ SATs.</p>
<p>however, if the OP just needs some small token merit scholarship, then maybe some top school will work out.</p>
<p>Thanks, Chardo. You’re right. :)</p>
<p>I mean even a 5-10k scholarship could make a difference at a top business school. And the northeastern and pitt were ranked as previously stated in the 2013 undergraduate business rankings by us news!</p>
<p>i probably wont qualify for financial aid. Thank you!</p>
<p>What are your parents saying? how much will they pay? </p>
<p>If you get a $5k-10k per year scholarship to a school that costs $60k, will they pay the other $50k-55k?</p>
<p>They will pay a lil over 40k, and id be willing to take out a 10k per year loan max</p>
<p>sorry that was meant for another thread. Apology.</p>
<p>Excuse me celesterroberts?</p>
<p>Will your parents co-sign those loans? you can only borrow $5500 for freshman year without a co-signer.</p>
<p>Yes i’m sure they would! Thanks for all the help btw!</p>
<p>I have to second Indiana U- Bloomington. My D was recently accepted to Kelley Business School as a direct admit, and received almost the max amount of merit scholarship money for OOS. With your stats you should get $9K-$11K per year. Hurry, in order to qualify for merit scholarship money the applciation is due by Nov 1. Good luck</p>
<p>I stand corrected. I initially read the question quickly and thought it involved a graduate application. Please refer to mom’s responses. Sorry for any confusion I may have caused.</p>
