<p>Over the past year or so, I have been looking into quite a few top business schools including UPenn, NYU, Emory, Wake Forest, UNC Chapel Hill, and UVA. I just recently realized that you do not apply to the business schools at most of these universities as a senior in high school. From my understanding, you apply during your SOPHOMORE year to the business school at Emory, Wake, UNC, and UVA and don't enter until your JUNIOR year. This seems kinda late to me, but I'm not sure.</p>
<p>Questions:</p>
<ol>
<li>What other top schools require an additional application during your sophomore year or later? </li>
<li>Is there an advantage to not being in the business school until your junior year? Do you still take lots of pre-reqs or business classes?</li>
<li>Has anyone decided to go to one of these colleges for business then get rejected from the business program their sophomore year?? Did you transfer?</li>
</ol>
<p>UT Austin lets you into the business school freshman year, so you know if you’re going to make it before u make ur decision on a university. Also, some people have internships or study abroad programs the summer after their freshman year as a result of this and you get to listen to the speakers and attend business events all four years. This semester the speakers are Micheal Dell of Dell Computers, the Chairman of Wal-Mart, The VP of Intel and the President of Shell.</p>
<p>If you’re talking about undergraduate business programs…for Penn you start your freshman year (apply in high school with the rest of your college apps)</p>
<p>The advantage is that if you decide you don’t want to do business you are not stuck in business program. You do still take the same pre-req’s that you would take in a 4 year business program. I know for a lot of these 2 year business programs you usually need a 3.4 or higher to get in, but that is largely the only criteria.</p>
