ross pre-admit vs. northwestern & brown

First of all, Brown doesn't even have a business school.

Second of all, there's a big difference between undergraduate and graduate rankings when it comes to business programs. Ross is considered to offer one of the best undergraduate business programs in the country, while Kellogg's isn't even in the top 10 (going by USNews, which is usually the most trusted).

Obviously the graduate schools are a different story but OP is clearly an incoming freshman.

First off, undergrad "business" degrees are a laughing stock. Ross is a marketing school ... marketing is for Big Ten sorority girls.

Economics at both NU and Brown is highly respected and makes you a peer. Nobody is impressed with a Ross BBA. Sure, you will make solid money after graduation but NU and Brown kids get any prime gig they want. And when the NU and Brown kids want to go get an MBA or JD, they'll get into a better program.

Ok well I was assuming OP would go on to get an MBA like most business majors do. I don't think anybody really cares about a BBA, from anywhere really. Doesn't matter if it's from a school like NU or not. My point was that he could go to Ross for his BBA and somewhere with a better MBA program like NU afterward.

Why does every Ross douche lie about turning down higher ranked colleges? Ross kids are the most status-obsessed tools on campus ... from "prestige" internships to laptops to clothes to vacations. Why would they turn down a high status college? They wouldn't. It's a lie. Brown and Northwestern are far more elite than a marketing degree from a state school. Engineering is all that makes Michigan undergrad elite.

wasn't lying and a lot of pre admits in this class turned down similar schools. no debt in undergrad vs. 250k in debt to northwestern or brown? i got into hopkins and uchicago, and the ross decision wasn't a hard one. it's no contest, and the average pre admit ACT is like a 33 so clearly they are getting into other top schools with stats like that. clearly you have an axe to grind against ross, we have one of the top finance programs in the country and if you look at job placement and starting salary, it's a great program

Isn't Ross BBA like 75% out-of-state kids? For OOS students Ross vs NU, Ivy, Chicago, Duke is a cost neutral decision. For in-state kids, the elite privates have ridiculously generous financial aid packages. So again, I don't believe it.

If I was interviewing you and you told me you turned down Chicago for Michigan I'd end the interview. You obviously are either a liar or just make really poor decisions. And if truthful, you must also fear competition, i.e. intimidated easily.

As for finance, an engineering kid will get any IB offer over a Ross kid.

I just have to wonder how you turned down Vandy. That's the one school I will always regret not having applied to.

nobody turns down Vandy after a visit. Every girl there is the hot half of kkg-ddd-phi.

You sound fairly honest, but I don't think anyone outside of Metro Detroit thinks Ross is more impressive than Northwestern.

Chicago/Evanston >>>>>>>> Ann Arbor/Detroit.

Northwestern's top 10 economics department > Ross.

Econ major from NU is going to get offers before any Ross kid.

Northwestern's new sports complex on the water is insane.

Not a huge diff. but if both offers are in front of you, 9 in 10 are choosing NU.

I didn't say that Ross was more impressive than Northwestern, I said that it offers more business-related opportunities. That is, almost all of the major firms recruit at Ross whereas only a good amount will recruit at Northwestern. The only schools with similar/better recruiting than us are the ivies, Chicago, MIT, Stanford, Duke, and NYU. And in terms of getting an offer, the Ross kid will get them first because the school literally prepares them for jobs.
