SMU- around 30k per year in merit
University of Michigan
Chapel Hill (very confident on admission)
Northeastern - 10k in merit
Babson college
Only results I have so far… I want to study business!
What state do you live in?
NC
I’m not super concerned about price though, if money wasn’t an issue where would you guys go??
Are you a direct admit to Ross? If not I wouldn’t go to Michigan.
Where do you have a direct admit to the b-school?
Not sure what you intend to study, but I’d go UNC. Michigan next if affordable.
waiting on UMich preadmit but it’ll come out in march
also @sunny66 business
Sorry I missed the business reference in the original post. Agree that if money no object and you get direct admit into Ross at Michigan, that would be something to seriously consider. Where to you want to live after college? Do you care about being in cold weather? Have you visited campus at Michigan? UNC seems like a great option regardless.
As a NC resident I’d go with UNC if you get into the b-school.
UNC… unless you are a budding entrepreneur and think that you might
want to start your own business fairly soon in which case Babson would be a better fit.
Are you instate for UNC-CH???

[/QUOTE]
What are your parents saying? They may be concerned. how much will THEY pay each year?
i honestly don’t care about where I live in the future. I know UNC is a good school, but I like babson because of its great reputation for entrepreneurship
I’m saying that in this thread I don’t care about price, I just want to hear about what opinions are. @mom2collegekids
but thanks for your concern
Well, costs always matter. Have you run the NPC?
Rather than noting merit, can you list net price for SMU.
The best school is the best value.
around 25K for SMU per year. Definitely not worth it IMO
Many OOS students want in to UNC-CH, and that being an in-state option for you. Not sure strength of its business programs versus the other schools and entrepreneur programs.
Many would also be wanting the $30k/year merit at SMU.
I would look very closely at these two programs. Dallas is a wonderful place for bright people. Maybe it will come down to what region you want to start out your career at.
Sounds like the merit situation makes SMU the financial low cost school for you at this point.
As a parent, I would look at cost/benefit. Your student perception certainly should get some parental or college savvy input.
I have a class mate that I knew all my school years, graduated HS together. He is probably the most successful self made person from our graduating class (and we had a lot of very bright, successful people). He had a son that was interested in entrepreneur program but it was also tied with their engineering program - he went to Purdue (which parents could pay the full OOS costs). The dad told me about how some of his son’s classmates had started their own successful companies in HS, and son felt like he was behind the 8 ball. But I am sure it was a good env’t for him.
Don’t see how you walk away from Carolina, even setting the cost issue aside. Nothing else on that list would remotely sway me off Carolina, except for Michigan and there would be some concerns with that option (getting into biz school, weather, and yes - cost).
JMO.
In looking at US News 2017 listing of best business programs, UNC-CH Kenan-Flager was ranked #9 - tied with Cornell and Indiana U-Bloomington (Kelley).
