College Search & Selection

<p>Ok, I’m going to reevaluate my list of schools, here is my criteria</p>

<ol>
<li><p>Must be need-blind and loan-free financial aid, for a family who’s income is 85-90,000.</p></li>
<li><p>I prefer a LAC-style environment/curriculum.</p></li>
<li><p>I don’t know what I’d want to major in, but I’m willing to keep options open and am open to special programs (4+1, 3+2, dual degree programs, etc).</p></li>
<li><p>If I can I would like to take some business classes at the college.</p></li>
<li><p>Internship/job opportunities in and out of the college are big pluses. Maybe a good alumni-network that’s loyal to college students?</p></li>
<li><p>Good track record of top firms hiring students.</p></li>
<li><p>Good city location for starting a life/career.</p></li>
<li><p>Good career center.</p></li>
</ol>

<p>and anything else you can add that you think would be beneficial for going into business.</p>

<p>So, with this in mind, what should my list look like?</p>

<p>[TheDartmouth.com</a> | Tuck to offer undergrad courses](<a href=“http://thedartmouth.com/2009/01/28/news/tuck]TheDartmouth.com”>http://thedartmouth.com/2009/01/28/news/tuck)</p>

<p>Dartmouth does teach undergrad Tuck classes. Anyway for the perfect combo of a LAC, LACish school with strong undergrad business, I would have the following on my list: Princeton, Dartmouth, Williams, Middlebury, Colgate. Others perhaps fitting a little less but also great options: Duke, Stanford, Northwestern, and Georgetown.</p>

<p>You don’t need to major in business in order to have a career in business; you can major in another field and go to business school for grad school. In that sense, any school on your list can send you on the track to becoming a successful businessman.</p>
