Undergraduate Busines Schools Questions

<p>Okay I am a junior in highschool and I was trying to decide which colleges to apply to, but generally I think im just going to apply to the ones that have the best business programs. I just have a few questions about the Business school. I would greatly appreciate if someone could answer them.</p>

<p>Generally, I am looking at Upenn (Wharton), UNC (Kenan Flager), UVA (McIntire), UC Berkeley (Haas) Carnegie Mellon (Tepper), Emory (Goizueta), NYU(Stern), WashU(Olin), Cornell (Dyson), </p>

<ol>
<li>Which colleges require that you apply directly to the business school when you are a senior in highschool? </li>
</ol>

<p>And which ones let you in to the main school first and then you get apply to their businesschool after a year or 2?</p>

<ol>
<li><p>Which business schools assign a lot of work (hw, tests, projects) on a nightly basis and which are more chill about stuff? I guess we can measure in hours. J</p></li>
<li><p>If I don't get in to Kenan Flager but I want to TRANSFER in later on, hard hard or easy would it be to do that? </p></li>
<li><p>If I wasn't cut out for any of the top undergraduate business programs after my senior year when I apply to colleges, I was wondering if it would be better to apply to a better school with NO business program, or a more mediocre school that DOES have a business program, and then transfer to a better one later. </p></li>
</ol>

<p>A good example would be John's Hopkins vs University of Wisconsin-Madison. JHU doesn't have an undergraduate business school, but it is an excellent school in general and well respected, but University of Wisconsin-Madison isn't that great of a school, but it has a decent business school. So would I be better off transferring from a place like John's Hopkins or Wisconsin? (Assuming I get the same grades and take about the same courses)</p>

<p>I may only be a freshman, but as you can tell from my username, I love wharton, so I can answer one thing for you. Upenn wharton requires you to apply straight to business school–which is what wharton is</p>

<p>do you know how transferring into Wharton from other schools work? Wharton is my dream school but I fear I don’t be able to get in </p>

<p>Also, is it possible to apply to an easier program at penn and then transfer into Wharton?</p>

<p>Berkely, UVA, and Emory have you transfer into their business programs during junior year</p>

<p>Stern, UPenn, Cornell (AEM program?) you apply directly</p>

<p>Yes, but the other schools there are also very hard to get into–it is upenn after all. You can potentially apply to CAS and switch into wharton, but it is very difficult, or so I understand it is.</p>

<p>okay</p>

<p>Wait but if I wasn’t cut out for any of the top undergraduate business programs after my senior year when I apply to colleges, I was wondering if it would be better to apply to a better school with NO business program, or a more mediocre school that DOES have a business program, and then transfer to a better one later. </p>

<p>A good example would be John’s Hopkins vs University of Wisconsin-Madison. JHU doesn’t have an undergraduate business school, but it is an excellent school in general and well respected, but University of Wisconsin-Madison isn’t that great of a school, but it has a decent business school. So would I be better off transferring from a place like John’s Hopkins or Wisconsin? (Assuming I get the same grades and take about the same courses)</p>

<p>Can someone plz answer the question above?</p>

<p>anyone wanna answer question #7?</p>

<p>husseinrasul get off your lazy arse and look this ish up. do you really want to get into wharton? because kids at wharton dont sit on collegeconfidential waiting for others to respond to their questions. kids at wharton take initiative and find answers for themselves.</p>

<p>ALL the info you want is easily available on the respective schools website…</p>

<p>^agreed. But just because I am feeling nice I’ll answer. I said it to another person in the forum that depending on how much money you have you might want to consider going to a CC for a year. In Virginia, if you go to NOVA CC you can transfer to VT or UVA after a year or two depending on how high your GPA is. Which if you do not have above a 3.5 I have no words for you. Go to a CC helps you in a number of ways. Usually the state schools have a contract REQUIRING them to take students from the CC if they meet a certain GPA requirement. Also, most if not all the credits you took at the CC will be transferable unlike some courses you take a some other college might not be transferable. Also, going to a CC, more than likely, your GPA will be higher than if you went to a state school which will further your academic credentials. It will be cheaper as well.</p>

<p>ok scisslehannd if you actually read the entire post, ull realize that not all of my questions were fact based questions, and my most important concern was an opinionated one, which doesn’t really get answered from Whartons website</p>

<p>illhaveanother93 thanks for the advice but im def not gonna go to cc because its for people who are poor and stupid and I am clearly neither of those…</p>

<p>Btw I never have been to a CC either just to clear that up haha</p>
