| OP here- DC down to UGA or Wisconsin business neither direct admit. UMD is out. |
I think DC should choose UGA but you should call it "Wisco" just to make every head on this board explode. |
UGA's highest award is named after Wisconsin...Wisconsin is just in a different league. https://outreach.uga.edu/resources/hill-award/ "The Hill Award is named in honor of Chancellor Walter Barnard Hill, who led the University of Georgia from 1899 until his death in 1905. Hill first articulated the university’s modern public service and outreach mission. He admired the close relationship that existed between the University of Wisconsin and the state of Wisconsin and led a pilgrimage of nearly 100 Georgians to see the “Wisconsin Idea” in action. As a result of this journey and the power of Hill’s vision, Georgia’s leadership endorsed Hill’s plan for a modern, public service oriented university and backed that endorsement with increased support for the institution." |
This is ridiculous, but you already knew that. Choose UGA to avoid Wisco boosters living in the nineteenth century. |
Different league for undergrad business? Disagree. And if so, sounds like this award shows they're following their model! So win/win I do agree Wisco is more known and well-regarded nationally but it's definitely not in another league. |
Haha. Thanks and why UGA over "Wisco"? |
Lmao! |
Wdym? |
| What is keeping him from making a decision? Does he not have a gut feeling after visiting? |
| He made his decision weeks ago, but he knows that if he tells his mom, she'll angst at him instead of at us. |
No gut. Liked both. Pros cons of each but both great and likes the kids and vibe. He's a chill easygoing kid so doesn't feel strongly about weather and fits in anywhere. |
Is one of the business schools easier to get into? I know at UGA they look at SAT scores which is odd to me since they apply once they are already college students. |
I ageee it's odd. But I think it's not too hard at all to get in and you can always try again. It's more of if you will get the major you want. Wisconsin does let some in direct admit and it's half the size so it's harder. They also only give you one chance. Econ is in the business school at UGA |
| That’s a tough one. Madison is a great college town/place to live in general and Wisconsin to me would be hard to turn down. I’m from the south and know UGA has a great reputation too and i like the weather in GA a lot better than WI. But to me Athens is just ok, not as vibrant, not as fun, not as much to do as Madison. I think Madison/Wisconsin is the better choice. |
