[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, sometimes it is all about the money.

If you look at the WSJ analysis of grads in different careers...W&M does very well on 6 of the 9 lists, JMU shows up on two of the lists and South Carolina never makes the cut on any of the lists.

Rankings and lists don't matter if a kid is unhappy because the school is the wrong fit. It's really not all about the money.[/quote]

+1. I can see the appeal of U of SC for sure. In fact, I'd probably pick it myself if I was in OP's kid's position. Not because W&M isn't a more prestigious/higher ranked institution...everyone knows it is. But that's not the only consideration. [/quote]

I can’t.  Like the vast majority of people, I care about outcomes.  So does my kid.

I don’t see any reason at all to pick South Carolina over JMU or W&M if the plan is business.  If the business program was so good, it would show up on one of these lists for salaries for grads.[/quote]

Have you ever been to UofSC? Their business facility and presentation were top notch at an open house for admitted students. [/quote]

Great…so why don’t they show up on the WSJ lists of best paying public universities?

Who cares about the facility and presentation if it doesn’t get results.

JMU is on a bunch of the lists…W&M most of the lists.[/quote]

You can view UofSC’s business outcomes on their website, they’re not bad at all. [/quote]

Again, who cares.  A bona fide 3rd party in the WSJ shows JMU and W&M are better.

“Not bad” isn’t a ringing endorsement.[/quote]

A list designed to sell papers is irrelevant. [/quote]
