If you are going to go into buisness then it really doesn't matter where you go. Look at it this way; do you plan on attending college for 2 yrs, 4 yrs, or more? Are you going to grad school? If you plan on going to school for more than 4yrs, and plan on attending a grad school so you can specialize and enhance the skills you need for the business world. Undergrad school or even your local community college is just a spring board. It is really irrelevant where you go unless you attend the top of the top, la crème de la crème, chances are you have slim chances of getting into most of that sort of college out of high school without a 5.0 GPA and 1600 on SAT. Kids have been denied acceptance to Harvard with perfect SAT scores, the college playing field is primarily political, if your parents went to a college then apply there first, you might get some perks from it, and you might not. Over all though, undergrad schools just cover the basics and help set you in the right direction for Grad school. Go where you feel at home; go where you can graduate without being in debt up to your eye balls. Look at colleges that are a good distance, with the type of student body you want. If you participate in sports or after school activities and improve your GPA to off-set that 2.75 then you should be able to get into a decent school with scholarship. Don't concern yourself with the best rated school, focus on the school that's right for you, the one that fits your life style best and makes you happy. What's the point in going to college if you're going to be miserable the whole time, that's why people transfer to other schools. Out of that whole list I only applied to one and once I got there just to visit I hated it, it didn't even feel like a college to me. Regardless of what others may say, your state university is more than adequate for a business major, you don't need to stress. Everything will fall into place so just look at the colleges that seem best to you; these lists are not perfect and are based on certain criteria which may not be important to you at all. If you really want to get into NYU then you need to be active and do your best to get their attention. Get into AP courses and Dual Enrollment to improve your chances and raise your GPA. And visit all the schools you apply to, visit their websites and contact your admissions officer. Don't look at these lists they won't help you, they'll just stress you. Enjoy the application process and focus on your ultimate goals first then find out how to get there.
