How much does major matter?

Right now, I'm a senior in high school. I am contemplating between Marquette Business School or UIUC economics (non-business school). UIUC has a better school and is cheaper in general, but I won't be going to the business school. However, at Marquette, I prefer the size,I get to go to the business school and I get to (Potentially) participate in AIM http://business.marquette.edu/centers-and-program…. This is kinda interesting because it sounds similar to the IBW at Kelley, but I don't know, it could be a waste. Any advice would be appreciated.

 

UIUC has a program like Kelley's IBW as well, I just forget what it's called right now. The difference between economics and business likely won't matter much as long as your grades are solid though. No program is guaranteed though, so go where you'll like school the best- thats where you'll do well.
