[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Besides the name, what are the attributes of the top 5 colleges she likes? Start with those as "must haves" and see if you can find affordable schools that offer the same. Ex. -- if she likes UPenn because she wants to say she goes to Penn, that'll be tough to overcome -- but if she likes it because of a top finance program at an urban school -- I guarantee you can find those attributes elsewhere.

Urban
Diverse
Attracted to Jesuit schools because of their philosophy/mission of service and giving back
Decent brand name - we are actually in the Midwest right now (originally from DC but moved here 3 years ago for a job switch) and she wants a college that will allow her to work outside of the Midwest
Looking to do marketing 
Anything above 3000 students

Anything coming to mind?[/quote]

Start with the undergrad business school rankings and go from there. I'm not sure you'll get everything (not sure about Jesuit) but there are plenty of urban business schools offering marketing majors that also have a name brand that carries.[/quote]

First one I thought of was Notre Dame -- their business school has risen through the ranks lately so there's employability outside the midwest; though that would put you in a college town and not in an urban setting and I don't imagine it's too diverse. I would post this list of criteria on college confidential -- those people are all over the college options and I bet you'll get a half dozen suggestions offhand.[/quote]

I doubt Notre Dame is going to be adorable...OP what's your budget?[/quote]
