For undergrad, any major difference in outcome/prestige UMich Ross vs. Notre Dame Mendoza?
Hey, I'm going to be a first generation college student, so my blue collar family isn't much help in this regard. US News puts Ross undergrad at #3. But Poets & Quants and Bloomberg put Mendoza ahead of Ross, at #2 (with Ross at #8 and #10, respectively). I think they're both about the same size, 500-600 kids per year.
I'm not like a bible thumping Catholic but I do attend a Catholic high school and it's been a really solid experience. Both have fun sports culture. I'd probably say Ann Arbor is a superior town to live in, as South Bend is pretty grimy. I think I'd be really happy at either to be honest, so I'd just like to best position myself for a great career.
I assume Notre Dame has more cachet since it's private and a harder university to get into, overall? But I'm not sure if that's applicable to the business colleges, specifically.
Thank you for any insights.
.........Notre Dame doesn’t have frats.
Notre Dame. Private, more prestigious, wealthier student body, and will be a stronger signal on your resume for the next 50 years. But I probably wouldn't recommend concentrating in business, take advantage of the private college experience and pursue something of substance. The only people who'd tell you to go to Ross are anti-Catholics and Wolverines who don't know any better. Notre Dame is all solid high-character valedictorians, Ross is mostly DECA schmucks.
This has to be at least somewhat a joke.
