Currently a high school senior trying to decide what college I am going to attend in the fall. I want a school with good academics, party scene (Greek preferred), good business school, good connections and career services, D1 sports preferred, and a school that can land me a job in either Miami, NYC, boston, or Raleigh when I’m out of college. I’m from upstate my. My intended major is finance and/or management information systems. These are the schools I applied to(or am applying to) *the ones with a ? are my favorites)
•UMiami?
•UF?
•FSU?
•Elon?
•Bentley?
•Bucknell
•Syracuse
•Fairfield
•UConn
•Binghamton
•Umass
•Penn state
•Providence?
Any input on pros/cons of these schools or additional schools to look at would be appreciated !!!
A couple weeks ago you said you’re a high school junior trying to put together an application list. It will be easier for people to help you if you’re honest about your situation. Are you trying to figure out reasonable targets or actually debating which offer to accept?
You’re a little late if you really are a senior…
Sounds like this is an underclassman/middle schooler first learning about the college process, which is okay. Its never too early to think about your future.
I just went through this, and it can be confusing and frustrating.
Some of the schools you listed couldn’t be more different.
Do you want:
Urban/Rural/Suburban? State College, PA, Coral Gables, FL and Waltham, MA are all very different.
Large/Medium/small? Penn state and Florida huge, Bentley is pretty small. What feel do you prefer?
A party school? Maybe you would like Miami, Florida or FSU
Are you dead set on business? Then Bentley would be perfect. If you don’t know what you want to do than Bentley may be not a great fit.
And most importantly, what can you afford?
