<p>It seems like these are my top 3 schools (maybe throw BC onto that list). I plan on majoring in business, probably something along the lines of either finance or management. Which schools are the best for those two categories?</p>
<p>I would honestly choose Wake, then Villanova and then Richmond, but if BC is on the list then I would place that on top. Wake and Villanova are pretty close though.</p>
<p>thanks for your insight, any other opinions?</p>
<p>random bump</p>
<p>bumppp......</p>
<p>I agree with Pre-medwannape. I would rate the business schools in the same order he did (Wake Forest, then Villanova, then Richmond).</p>
<p>Wake gives you a bigger sports experience with both football and basketball, although the basketball scene is HUGE at Nova. If sports aren't a big issue, then disregard this.</p>
<p>All three have great b-schools. I'd personally pick Nova, because I'd be turned off by the nickname of 'Work Forest'. </p>
<p>Richmond is a fine school, and my friend is playing basketball there, but I'd never in a million years go there.</p>
<p>I believe Nova does better than both on Wall Street, and has a HUGE NYC alumni network.</p>
<p>Another thing you need to look at is where you'd want to be. I live near Nova, and it's pretty different from Winston Salem and Richmond.</p>
<p>Personally, I would choose Villanova out of the three.</p>
<p>Villanova gets the nod from me.</p>
<p>Keep in mind, I'm just talking about their business school and reputation in the business world, not outside factors. </p>
<p>But so far it looks like Villanova and Wake are about even with Richmond in 3rd...</p>
<p>Based on the make-up of the BBs incomings, I've seen a lot more Villanova students then Wake. Actually, don't think I've seen any Wake.</p>
<p>TWOwls - what is wrong with Richmond? I read about it, sounds good, but never visited.</p>
<p>Err, I misread the OP,thought he was interested in IB. Sorry about that.</p>
<p>Well it's in Richmond. Um it's one of the three (?) most expensive schools in the U.S. I dont think the education is worth that much, especially compared to Wake and Nova. It's known to be for rich kids, but not the most academically inclined kind a la Wake, Nova, Vandy, etc.</p>
<p>Just does absolutely nothing for me. I was really shocked when my dude turned down Nova, Temple amongst others to play for URichmond.</p>
<p>Out of three the better known on wall street is Villanova. Atleast, that is what it seems.</p>
<p>Also, Villanova does have some specializations that the other two don't--for example, a major in Project Management. I took some of these courses via distance education and found them awesome--although, personally, I thought the grading in the course was too easy.</p>
<p>You know, now that I think about this a bit, Wake Forest is known for having a really tough grading curve (similar to Georgia Tech's, NYU's and Purdue's and the one that USC used to have), while Villanova's grading curve is considered more fair.</p>
<p>So, if this makes a difference (and it probably does), you might be more inclined to go to Villanova.</p>
<p>Yeah but most recruiters know about Wake Forest's grade deflation and tough academic workload...</p>
<p>But yeah, grade deflation was one of the things that turned me off... I don't want to have to work my ass off just to get a B.</p>
<p>Any feedback on Richmond Grading.</p>
<p>Is "project management" considered business management? Because I didn't see that listed on Villanova's website as a major at VSB for an undergrad. Maybe that is one of the elective courses you can take, but it is not listed there as a requirement for undergrad.</p>
<p>VSB's majors are: Accountancy, Finance, Marketing, MIS, Business Management, Economics, Honors Business and a co-major of IB.</p>
