[quote=Anonymous]Lots of experience with this and it really depends on the school:

(1) For schools with direct-admit undergraduate business schools (e.g., Penn/Wharton, Michigan, USC, UC Berkley, Georgetown, Cornell, Indiana, NYU, etc.), your child really needs to apply to the business school if they are interested in being in that program. It is very easy to transfer out of the business school into the school of arts & sciences, but it is almost impossible to transfer into the business program once you are there.

(2) For schools without direct-admit undergraduate business schools and that admit after the end of freshman year (e.g., UVA), you just apply to the college of arts & sciences, do well your first year, and hope you are selected for admission. This can be a good option for a smart kid who is unsure going into college.

(3) For schools without undergraduate business schools (e.g., Harvard, Stanford, Columbia, Brown, Northwestern, University of Chicago, UCLA, etc.), you just apply for admission to the University and you have the flexibility to major in whatever you want. This is what I would recommend for a child who is not completely committed to business.

As an FYI, the direct admit undergraduate business schools are wildly competitive. It seems like everyone wants to be a business or economics major these days. It feels like it is easier to get into Brown as a Classics major than NYU Stern.
