My son has been admitted to University of Illinois and USC Business schools. Both are top 5 accounting programs per USNWR, for whatever that means to many/some/few. Also admitted to Michigan, but not the “preferred admit” to Ross Business. Admitted to Emory, but must apply to Goizueta in Sophomore year for Junior year. Problem at USC is that it is a Spring admit. Any reason to choose Michigan or Emory, where some kids don’t get into undergrad business school, when Illinois and USC are sure things? My son loves Tulane, but concerned that the Tulane-Freeman does not have an undergraduate accounting degree but rather the Joint BSM-MAcctg degrees. Eager to hear from Tulane accounting students. Thank you.

I would also strongly recommend communicating with Dean Solomon of the Tulane Business School with your questions/concerns. He actually came to Tulane from UIUC as head of their accounting department or something like that, and I know he is considered one of the leading national authorities in the accounting field. I think that would be a smart move on your part to get the best information from that perspective. I would be totally honest with him about what the choices are and your concerns about what Tulane offers.
