College selection

Hello friends. I’m trying to help my son curate a college list. He is interested in finance/business/entrepreneurship. I’m specifically interested in schools that will provide him good prospects of a high-earning career, or have a strong entrepreneurial spirit/curriculum. He is a strong student, ranked just at the bottom of the top 10% of his class at a highly respected private school. GPA is 4.2 on a 4.0 score and his SAT is over 1500. He desires a college with a strong sense of sports pride. So we’re really looking for a perfect union of these two. Thanks!

 

UGA's full ride plus tuition (Foundation Fellowship) would be one to look at if cost is a consider. Very entrepreneurial environment with a whole department plus hundreds of thousands in pitch competitions and funding through start up accelerators. Placements are solid with strong IB and consulting pipeline for around the top 100 b school kids (which is surprisingly easy to be).

Other more traditional entrepreneurial undergrad b schools are: Wharton, Stanford, Georgetown, Duke (economics is in their arts and sciences, but they massively punch above their weight).

Wharton is clearly the best if money is no issue.
