[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]The first question: you say she wants finance or accounting, is there some basis to know she can handle it? Has she taken a couple courses and done well at her current college?[/b]

If not, or even if so, make sure the next college is less a weed out factory and more a teaching place. I could recommend UNC, UVA, Wake, etc. that all fit your credentials - but their business schools are both challenging and require admittance - in some cases after spending a couple semesters there. Conversely, a school like Villanova has no pre-reqs but you need to maintain a GPA and know that Villanova for example turns out a lot of accountants for the big 4.

Larger schools like state flagships may not offer the intimacy, but they sometimes are more forgiving - just keep a 2.0 and you keep going.[/quote]

This is a good question posed.  She's a freshman, so only a couple of months into college.  Is she in an accounting class now?  Did she take an accounting class in high school?  My DS is a junior accounting major and you have to really love it/be good at it, to keep going.[/quote]
