[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]at universities with undergraduate business schools, economics is the major for those that couldn't get into the undergraduate business schools. So the cohort is inherently weaker.

Yes, business is a selective major at some schools, but not at others.

UVA is weird, because they have the McIntyre school for undergrad business, and Darden for graduate business.  Maybe that gives undergrads a cozier environment. "All the Ivies" do not have a superior business curriculum, because most Ivy League schools do not offer undergrad business.

Some people think it is a waste of money to plan for a two-year M.B.A. when you can develop some finance careers with only a bachelors.  I think it is a waste to plan an undergrad education around a profession, because a student can easily change his mind.  Instead, choose a college that offers many opportunities.  If you want to go into business, then you can get a modern one-year specialty masters instead of an expensive M.B.A.

I don't think you are familiar with this area.
When schools have undergrad prorams, they are usually more selective and more of target by leading fiance and consulting companies.
UPenn, GT, Cornell, Emory, UVA, NYU, ND, UMich, Berkely, etc.
Hence you can easily change into other majors(except other competitive ones like CS, Engeering, FS(GT), but it's very hard to change into business program later.

UPenn, Cornell, Brown offer businsee curriculum, so that's 3 out of 8 ivies.

It's just another major.
