Top business schools except Wharton, Stern and Ross

College Search & Selection
1

<p>I will be applying for Business: Accounting. I am applying to the three schools mentioned in the title and Cornell AEM. But my stats aren't quite there so I am looking for undergraduate business programs that are a step below but are still very good and have good reputations.</p>

<p>Any suggestions???</p>

<p>Seeing that you have Michigan’s Ross on your list, you don’t seem to mind the flyover states.</p>

<p>So Notre Dame’s Mendoza and WashU’s Olin may be decent backups for you, but they’re more like two or three steps below the schools on your list.</p>

<p>And if you go there, know that you’ll probably end up in accounting or insurance instead of i-banking or consulting. </p>

<p>Top i-banking and consulting firms do not recruit analysts there because ND & WUSTL are not “target” schools. And you can forget about more selective positions in private equity, hedge funds, venture capital, etc.</p>

Considering the OP is wanting to major in accounting, I would assume that is not an issue.</p>

<p>The business rankings are a good place to start a list.</p>

<p>Wake Forest has quite a good accounting program and is less selective than the colleges mentioned so far.</p>
