<p>My D has been accepted to some wonderful colleges and now is time to pick one!
A little bit about my D-Her goal is to go in to corporate law at a Fortune 500 company with a back up plan of working for a Fortune 500 company in Marketing or Management if she ultimately changes her mind about law. She has done well in a competitive Public HS with competitive grades and pedestrian SAT's for all the colleges listed. She will have taken 8 AP courses, strong leadership activity (Editor in Chief of Yearbook and other things), is mature for her age, a hard worker, creative, good writer and decent in Math (B's unweighted/A weighted in honors PreCalcand AP Statistics.</p>
<p>We will have visited all of the colleges before she makes her choice but for this exercise lets assume that she can fit culturally in any of them and that we are willing to pay tuition for whichever one she chooses.</p>
<p>Here are her options:</p>
<p>U Mich-USNWR Overall rank 28, B School rank 3, WSJ Corporate Recruiter overall rank 6 and for Business 1 (obviously the best school with the others one notch below but is it the best one for her?)
D did not get in to Ross direct, will have to apply for sophomore year (about 37% get admitted), daughter is in low end of 25/75% admitted student profile. </p>
<p>Ohio State-USNWR 55, B School 14, WSJ CR 12/Business ranked 2
Direct Admit to B School, honors program and Scholarship $ that will bring tuition below instate Cali costs.</p>
<p>U Wisconsin-USNWR 42, B School 14, WSJ CR 16/not ranked for Business but ranked 5 for Management
Direct Admit L&S honors program but will have to apply to B school while at Wisconsin (60% admitted)</p>
<p>U Florida-USNWR 58, B School 28, WSJ CR 9/Business ranked 23
Direct Admit to B School and honors program</p>
<p>U Wash-USNWR 42, B School 20, WSJ CR overall not ranked but ranked 18 for business
