Which school for finance?? (Undergraduate)

College Search & Selection
1

<p>Just got into a bunch of schools : Fordham , Tulane, Elon, Northeastern, Maryland CP, Penn State, USC (With scholarship), American and JMU.</p>

<p>Was wondering which school would be best as far as academic quality/job placement.</p>

<p>I could see myself at any of these schools, so my question is mainly concerning their undergraduate business programs in general-- and where I have the best chance to succeed (whether it be going to a prestigious grad school or landing a good job)</p>

<p>Thanks CC!</p>

<p>Job recruiting at university career centers will favor:</p>

<p>(a) Schools local to the recruiting company (traveling to recruit is more of a hassle for the company).</p>

<p>(b) Schools with high reputations in the majors being recruited for (if you are flying to to the Los Angeles area, you are probably more likely to go to UCLA and USC over CSU-LA).</p>

<p>(c) Large schools (if you are flying to recruit, the big school will provide more candidates to consider).</p>

<p>I would say Penn State, American, Northeastern(COOP program), or Maryland (all depending on which place you like when you visit. USC if you want to go west and possibly work there. Personally I think Penn State is the way to go.</p>

<p>(Unless you fall in love with USC) in which case go there. One of those two.</p>

<p>What kind of finance do you want to go into? Look into firms in that area and see where they recruit for front office positions.</p>

<p>Specifically I don’t know at this point. I might go after an MBA, or I might want to go straight into with my field of preference; whether it be consulting individuals, or working for a bank or corporation.</p>
