[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I had a similar experience at my undergrad (UW-Madison). The b-school was made up almost entirely of wealthy "coasties" (aka California and the northeast), and wealthy suburbanites from Chicago/Milwaukee/Minneapolis. Pretty exclusive crowd. I felt like a fish out of water the first semester with my middle class WI background. [/quote]

You get many affluent students whose fathers are in "business" (corporate execs or business owner) and when they apply to colleges they don't know what to study, aren't particularly interested in academics, so go into the business track as the perceived quicker route to a successful future in "business" (just like daddy). Outside a handful of schools like Wharton, most undergraduate business degrees are hardly bastions of intellectualism or genius. At many schools the undergraduate economics major will be harder than the business major.

This is fine, FYI. Not being judgmental. We all need something different from the college experience. [/quote]
