So I recently got accepted into the three schools listed above for Business. While I received a presidential scholarship from Bentley, I just don’t see myself there. And since Wake Forest and Villanova are both more expensive (but more widely known), I’m a bit unsure of what to do. Villanova remains my top choice, but I’m just looking for a second opinion. Any ideas?
My friend had the same problem. But he decided Nova was a better fit for him than Wake Forest.
for business? Hands down Wake Forest.
But i will warn you, WF is very academically rigorous and has earned its notorious nick name “work forest.” If you decide to go there, you will work hard. but it will be worth it
While wf may be slightly better academically, villanova will offer you a much more expansive alumni network, especially with its proximity to Philly and New York. Internships with top firms on wall street will be readily available. My uncle attended nova and has since worked in nyc for UBS, merrill lynch, bank of america etc. There is no denying that wake is probably a better school overall. But if you’re serious about a career in business, I think the nova will take you further and offer you better opportunities outside of college.
Personally, I was waitlisted at WF and would probably have chosen that over nova(probably headed there), but my study was in the CLAS not the business school. When it comes down to it is all about which school is a better fit for you and your major.
