[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Undergrad business majors aren't viewed positively by anybody that matters....they're akin to a trade school degree.  And of that list I'd say that VT and UW are the most well regarded but far from prestigious. Your son has solid credentials.....if he is seeking more prestigious schools I'd encourage him to look at colleges that used to be referred to as Di-AA......bucknell, lehigh, colgate, lafayette, etc.  Those will at least get him into the ballpark.

I never thought of those smaller schools as prestigious. Solid yes.  Probably the title should have been "respectable and solid schools"  Outside of the NE, some of these smaller schools do not have the name recognition of alumni network. All these schools will open doors. All of them.[/quote]

Colgate and Bucknell are feeders to Wall Street so in that realm they have more prestige also more likely to have an economics major than a straight up business major. I think of Lehigh and to a lesser extent Lafayette for their undergrad engineering. [/quote]

Dp, I agree that none of these privates are more prestigious than the schools on op’s list.  State schools are really gaining on prestige and privates become more out of reach financially.

Maybe Georgia Tech as well, op?[/quote]
