Undergrad: Nova v Fordham v Richmond
Monkeys:
I'm a senior in HS now, and deciding where to go to school next year. My #1 school is UVA by a mile, but I want to hear opinions on some other schools that I'm applying to, specifically for getting internships and placing in IB.
-Villanova School of Business (Honors Program) -Gabelli School @Fordham, Rose Hill campus -Robins School @U of Richmond.
Without taking into account scholarship, merit aid, etc., where does WSO stand on these 3 schools? I'd love to hear.
Thank you, pat.bateman
Out of the three listed, Nova wins by a mile.
Agreed. I know Richmond is strong in in the southeast but not so much everywhere else. Nova.
Wow, I'm surprised. I was gonna say Richmond, then Nova.
I'll say this. As I drive past nova as I type this. The schools going through a major transformation. Really cool time to be there. Basketball is bringing a lot of attention to the school as well.
You should pullover before using your phone to text of any sort. And I believe it's a primary offense in VA.
Not when you are a passenger.
In terms of career options Nova, Fordham, Richmond, with Richmond and Fordham being interchangeable.
Nova is a great school that places well into finance, the business program is well known and they place kids across the spectrum in finance.
Fordham I don't know a ton about, but know that its location in NYC is good, but that it also competes with NYU, Colombia, Baruch, etc and doesn't have a great brand name.
Richmond places decently into the South and Southeast, but its tougher to make it into the big markets. It is a small school though so the alumni connection can be very strong.
In terms of Fun:
Nova: Big school feel, good sports teams, great location in the mainline/philly area. Girls are pretty attractive.
Fordham: I also have no idea, I would assume that you get the fun of NYC combined with a bunch of try hard kids who are on their grind to make it into finance. Would also be super expensive.
Richmond: Known to be somewhat of a party school, sports are almost too big for the campus, meaning theres a lot of "big men on campus" type of athletes and athlete parties. Social life is heavily focused around Greek Life and the school has southern feel to it. The campus is beautiful and so are the girls.
If you get into UVA I'd go there, else I'd go to Nova or Richmond. Nova will be more of a career choice whereas Richmond would be more of a fun choice.
Thank you for the input. Like you said, UVA would definitely be my best choice. I'm from out of state (IL), but the legacy admissions policy puts me in the same pool as all of the in state applicants, so odds are in my favor. Only bummer is that they don't release EA decisions until the end of January, which is far later than most other schools.
Yea in-state legacy boost is gonna be easy af, just make sure your GPA is good against all those northern va kids
