[quote=Anonymous]My FCPS son is a freshman there in the Business school and a Capstone scholar. He is having a great experience; I am struck by how much happier he is now than I was at his age as a freshman at a higher ranked school.

His stats were 4.1W gpa and 1380 sat. One strong EC with state and national championships.

He also was accepted to Jmu honors, Indiana Kelly school (but that was 15k more a year), Pitt, and WM spring admit. Did not get off the waitlist for business at VA Tech.

I’ve been very impressed with the schools first year experience and also the business school is very strong. At orientation they said last year they had 16,000 applicants for dollar more and only 1600 were admitted.

DS received $16/year in guaranteed merit aid, making the cost $42k instead of $58k oos. Pretty in line with some in state schools.

DS wanted a big D1, sporty experience. he is not rushing, but he’s considering it later and he’s comfortable with that kind of environment. That was also a consideration. Yes it’s southern too, but there are a lot of students from New York and New Jersey because it’s such a good value and a fun school.

FWIW I have an ivy undergrad and an MBA from a top 20 school myself; I think his classes sound like my MBA experience. I’m not really worried about him getting a job, even if people in the DMV don’t know as much about USC, he is getting the experience and those in the know are aware South Carolina is a good business school program.

Also agree that you don’t need the international part of the business school program to get a job or work internationally; that’s not how it works anyway.

Good luck to your son!  Apply to everything that interests him and see what happens
