[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How the heck did she come up with this list?? And where does she think she wants to live after graduation - where you go undergrad has a big impact on that if your undergrad isn't a national name like an ivy or MIT or something.

If she wants to end up down south - Clemson/SC. In the DMV - JMU; Maryland; Virginia Tech. Up north - NY/NJ/PA - Penn State. Colorado - wildcard. She'd be competitive in the mountain states or she could spin a story about how she just wanted to live in Colorado for 4 yrs and couldn't pass up that opportunity - bc lots of people have this fantasy. Go to the career services websites - or have your DD call career services for each of these undergrad business schools and get a list of the companies that recruited there last yr. Guaranteed that most recruiting at these schools is regional -- so if she goes down to SC and her internships job offers lead her to SC/NC/ATL after graduation - would she be ok with that or is she hellbent on coming back to the DMV?

Personally I'd do Penn State (I assume she won't be on the football team) or Colorado. Way more job opportunities for a finance grad in NY/NJ than there are down here and lots of the ones down here are for think tanks/non profits and don't pay. Or Colorado for the experience and the story spin described above - honestly that story spin would get her more looks in the northeastern recruiting markets than an unknown school like JMU or the 600th Maryland resume that they see in recruiting season.[/quote]

Way to overthink.  It's undergrad, not a life-and-death decision.   :roll: [/quote]
