[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Before anyone gets after me, I am completely aware that none of these schools are NOT at the level of the Harvards of the world.  Our son is interested in attending a D1 school with lots of rah rah spirit. He is a solid student with a 4.0 and 30 ACT score along with  the normal load of APs and ECs.

Looking at

V Tech
Gerogia
Wisconsin
Florida
Ohio State
Penn State
and 
Alabama as a safety

Assuming he is able to gain admission and attend one of these Universities as a Business major, will future employers and I guess people in general view any of these schools as a good accomplishment or sense of prestige?  None of these schools are shoo ins with his stats. Just wondering how these schools are viewed in the real world.

These are all pretty good schools and flagship colleges almost always have well-regarded business schools that will have a number of recruiters, although not as much from investment banks and top consulting as a school like Wharton.  I think prestitge is the wrong word since it is always a debatable after you get below very top schools.  Just look for solid rankings in USNews for business and sites like Poets and Quants.

He should add better safeties if you say none are shoo-ins.  These are by and large in the similar range of selectivity.[/quote]

Although business is still a pretty strong degree, it seems that a lot more majors came in after the great recession.  Take a look at this report.  https://cew.georgetown.edu/cew-reports/5rules/[/quote]
