<p>Hey guys, I'm trying to find a good undergrad Business school for me. I'd like one that is out of state, will give me good financial/merit aid, and where I can be on the school's honors program.</p>
<p>I like urban towns, preferably in the North, but I won't cut out places just because they aren't urban.</p>
<p>I'm Hispanic and have taken the ACT and SAT. I got a 23 on the ACT (retaking in September) and on the SAT I'm expecting 1800 +. I have 100 + hours of volunteer service, A 3.7 GPA (95.38, teacher told me it converts to a 3.7), and I have a few ECs. Multiple AP classes. I'm in the top 5% of my graduating class. </p>

<p>So if anyone can suggest any good undergrad business schools I may have a chance at :). Or schools that offer good financial aid/merit aid.</p>
<p>Alfred University (NY) Established in 1836: </p>
<p>2200 Undergrads, merit aid, need-based aid, small classes-know your professors, Division III Athletics, no Greek Life, housing all 4 years, easy access to Rochester airport via shuttles at peak vacation times. </p>

<p>Still under $40,000/year, like more students from OOS.</p>
<p>Pace University in NYC has a great business school and they gives tons of financial aid and scholarship. It is also aacsb accredited in accounting and business.</p>
<p>Don’t listen to ppl saying places like alfred and pace. The point of doing undergrad business is to get a good job and the best recruiters only go to high ranked schools. You will probably get into mccombs based on class rank (you might also get into indiana kelley) but unless you raise that SAT you won’t get into other top bschools like NYU for example. But UT and IU do place students in NYC so if you go to either one don’t feel worried about that</p>
<p>For sure, I just went through the whole process applying to undergrad business schools so you can PM me if you want. I’m going to SMU Cox honors</p>
<p>I would’ve advised you to apply to NYU because I did apply and got accepted. The only problem was that it was too expensive, and if you’re planning on going to grad school, you need little to no debt so that you won’t have loans of huge amount breathing down your neck. Even I had an EFC of 0 and the financial aid of NYU was not enough. So I’m now going to CUNY-Baruch College. </p>
<p>Therefore, I advise you to look up CUNY-Baruch College. It has the largest accredited business school in the nation. It’s acceptance rate is about 23% which is very selective. It is a city university so most of the students are New Yorkers but it is recognized as one of the most diverse campus in the nation.
Oh, it’s cheap!
Look it up. A degree from there means something and you will leave with little to no debt. So you would be able to go to NYU (or any other “big-name” for grad school) if you maintain a good GPA in Baruch. By the way, I’ve seen Baruch graduates work the same jobs as NYU graduates. The only difference is that the one from NYU graduated with debt (alot, I may add, and may never pay it off) while the one from Baruch graduated with little to no debt and can freely live their life or go straight to grad school. Also, they do have housing options but you could always rent an apartment. Great place to go to school, it is located in Gramercy Park, Manhattan, pretty close to Wall Street (look it up, if needed).</p>
<p>Tip: Where you went to graduate school means A LOT more than where you went for your undergrad. Employers rarely care about your bachelor’s degree/where you got it from.</p>
<p>The best UG B-schools are UPenn and MIT, but those are reaches for anybody.</p>
<p>More reasonable schools would be CMU’s Tepper, NYU Stern, USC Marshall. But as always depends on what field in business.</p>
<p>Stern is highly biased towards finance and investment banking. Their finance program is comparable to Wharton but their other majors are just normal.</p>
<p>I would also advise applying to UC Berkeley and trying for the Haas program after 2 years</p>
<p>Of course all the schools are highly conpetitve (ESP MIT and Wharton) but if u raise that SAT, ur Hispanic background may push u into a few of them.</p>
<p>Oh and by the way, CUNY Baruch is not even close to Stern in terms of investment banking. (but still a good school) But he does make a good point about debt and grad school.</p>
<p>Personaly, I think stern is worth the 55k per yr because it has so much connections. But only for fianance and I-banking</p>
<p>Lots of the schools listed here are well beyond the scores you have. Arizona State has a great business program and would take SATs in the 1800s. Also try U of Arizona. Good luck-work on those scores!</p>
<p>Yeah, of course, NYU-Stern is better. We’re not going to dispute that. That’s why it was a hard decision for me to pick Baruch over NYU. But Baruch is a GREAT quality business school that is very cheap and located in a great part of Manhattan. This is why it would be advisable to go to CUNY-Baruch for undergrad, save money and then go all out for Stern or any “big-name” for graduate school where it actually matters.</p>
<p>If you want a big name MBA you need a good job out of undergrad. Goldman Sachs for example would recruit at UT, IU, NYU, etc. NOT at baruch. For business, undergrad DOES matter the higher ranked the better</p>
