USC vs U Mich vs UVA

<p>Hi guys, </p>

<p>Right now I'm struggling between USC, U Mich and UVA. </p>

<p>I want to go on to study business, possibly finance, but not sure yet.</p>

<p>For USC I am admitted in the Marshall School of Business.
For U Mich in LSA (so ill need to apply after a year to Ross)
For UVA in CAS (so ill need to apply to McIntire after two years) </p>

<p>In your opinion, which one do you think should be first? Which order do you guys think it should be? </p>

<p>Just wanted to know a few opinions</p>

2

<p>UMICH
UVA
USC</p>

<p>(Some might switch umich/uva but they are both great programs and above usc).</p>

3

<p>Michigan
Virginia
USC</p>

<p>That’s the order from best to worst for overall business ranking and for finance ranking.

I disagree with the above post in that I would say Michigan definitely has an edge over Virginia. However, the edge isn’t too big, so Virginia could still be a better choice if it was cheaper, you liked it more or you had been directly admitted to the business program.</p>

<p>If you are interested in working in California, go to USC because you are already in the business school and the Trojan network is phenomenal throughout the state.</p>

<p>More info would be helpful. For example, what do you specifically want to do in finance, did you get scholarships to any of them, where do you want to work, how far away are all of them, etc. </p>

<p>Another thing to be weary about is that if your stats are a little low or average for any of those schools, you might want to consider going to USC since its a for sure thing that you are in at the business school as opposed to UVA and especially UMich (since UMich I know for sure has pre-admits to Ross). Although you can still do econ at other schools, econ majors get the second pick at jobs compared to biz majors, so its definitely not a small thing to consider.</p>

<p>However, if you do get into every one of those’s business schools, I’d agree with the others:</p>

<p>Ross > UVA McIntire > Marshall > UMich/UVA economics.</p>

<p>thanks a lot guyss :slight_smile: </p>

<p>I think I want to mainly choose between U Mich and UVA… I am kinda taking a risk… But I think econs at U Mich is also very good… </p>

<p>I am not sure what I really want to major in right now… but thanks guys!</p>

<p>Hi guys,
I want to do business, but have not got ross preadmit. I have acceptance from UVA and LSA at U MICH. Which is better for job oppotunities, academics if

  1. I do not manage to get into McIntyre or Ross.
  2. Also which is easier to get after 1 year : Mc Intyre after UVA or Ross after U mich </p>

<p>I was wondering how realistic is it to get admitted to Ross by your sophomore year. I understand they require you to have a high GPA and engage in leadership positions during your freshman year. Is it a hard task to meet?</p>

<p>Your advice would be great help!</p>

<p>Hi guys,
Does a honors student have an advantage to a non honors student at u mich to enter Ross</p>

<p>^ Nope, not at all.</p>

<p>it depends on where you want to be once you graduate. obviously, usc alums typically live in ca, while those that went to michigan/uva stay in the midwest/east coast. there seems to be more mobility when it comes to professionals moving from the midwest to east coast, and vice versa. on the other hand, california is sort of just “by itself,” even though there’s a lot of potentials there.</p>

<p>Michigan grads seem to live everywhere these days. Well everywhere except for Michigan!</p>
