Hello,
I’m currently a high school junior and trying to decide between the two. I know I would like to do the NROTC Marine Option, which both schools offer (Babson’s is off campus), and I would also like to go into business. I’m very interested in both the fields of finance and entrepreneurship. In addition, after serving my time, I plan on applying to very good MBA programs such as Wharton. Thus, I am not sure if I should go to Babson undergrad and get the heavy dose of entrepreneurship that they offer, go to the Marines Corps, and then pursue finance in Graduate school (I know the entrepreneurial experience is much more unique and substantial at Babson as apposed to Villanova, especially the FME program that you run your own business). Or, on the other hand, I should go to the VBS, study entrepreneurship as a minor, major in finance, and be at a bigger university with what is considered to be a better Business school and one that would look better to graduate schools. Also if anyone knows of any other schools that sound like they would suit my profile, please let me know.
Thanks!
