<p>I currently live in georgia and have pretty good grades among other things. The thing is I have no idea what kind of school I should apply for undergrad. bussiness. I know UGA has a good bussiness school but that school is a definate safety with my stats. I still might just go there because I hear the honors program is pretty good. However if I don't make it into the honors program, I need other ideas for a school. Lets put it this way UGA is the bottom and Duke is a super reach. Are there any schools inbetween worth noting?</p>
<p>NYU Stern and Carnegie Mellon may be match/reaches... but we can't know without your stats.</p>
<p>Both are the top 5 undergrad business schools in the country though, and Stern is number 2 for an undergrad degree in finance.</p>
<ol>
<li>University of Pennsylvania Wharton</li>
<li>MIT</li>
<li>Stern</li>
<li>Carnegie Tepper</li>
</ol>
<p>I would recommend Stern or Tepper. Stern is great for finance and Tepper for computer/technology type business. Management Information Systems is VERY VERY marketable with 6 figure salaries and Tepper is ranked 2nd behind MIT in it.</p>
<p>Emory has a good business school</p>
<p>Cornell's College of Agriculture and Life Sciences has an applied economics major that is recognized as a quality undergraduate business major.</p>
<p>Cornell's AEM is a new program. It just got accredited in time to be on the US News ranking this year (#14). Apparently it is a real deal. The guys on the Cornel forum are very positive about it.</p>
<p>Understand that AEM is completely separated from Johnson (state vs. private budget) with no shared faculty or facilities. However, you are free to take courses at Johnson.</p>
<p>Johnson is a graduate school at Cornell. Undergraduates can take some graduate courses as well as courses in colleges other than where they are enrolled. Some students duel major between two colleges.</p>
<p>The accreditation is recent but the recognition of the Ag and Life applied economics major has existed forever...Corporate recruiters have known about it as have graduate schools.</p>
<p>UVA business school (McIntire school of commerce) is definitely an excellent one.
However, keep in mind that you don't start from your freshman year.</p>
<p>Cornell's undergrad business program (AEM) was established about 2 years ago, developed from Agricultural Economics, which as you said has been there forever.</p>
<p>It's a bit unique that there is no synergy between Johnson(Grad) and AEM(UG) as they don't share any facilities or teaching.</p>
<p>Now that you mentioned it. Cornell used to have two economics departments too (Arts & Science; Agriculture and Life Science).</p>
<p>Haas school at Berkeley</p>
<p>uva is 9th and cornell is below 10th.
I'd stick with stern or umich or tepper.</p>
<p>just apply to those 3 since I'm guessing by your post that you cant get into MIT or Wharton and berkeley is impossible unless ur instate.</p>
