<p>Need some serious help here - </p>
<p>MY D has acceptances from UCSD (Revelle - Econ), USD (20k/y), SLO, Chapman ($25K/yr), Pepperdine (no aid yet ?), Santa Clara (BTW - if there is another thread or forum to post the discussion of how to make the decision between the schools above - please lmk)</p>
<p>Any idea/pointers as to how to help her make a decision - we are planning to visit to check out the atmosphere</p>
<p>Key questions are</p>
<ol>
<li>Brand recognition for the above schools esp USD/UCSD/SLO/Chapman as it pertains to business ?</li>
<li>How well is Chapman known for their business program ?</li>
<li>My D likes a small school atmosphere - and she is thinking she may get the advantages of a big school (brand, exposure etc) with a small school feel with the Revelle college atmosphere at UCSD - is that true ?</li>
<li>She is inclined to go for an MBA later on - which school is better or worse for the same</li>
<li>It seems like all schools have a good international/study abroad program - any thoughts there ?</li>
<li>Is $20K/year the max for non need based at USD ?</li>
</ol>
<p>Thoughts ?</p>
