If you want to work in Asia and attend college in the US, the most reputable schools are Harvard, Stanford and Wharton. MIT could work too (and you'd be able to study business there). Maybe Berkeley.
The usual suspects. Ivies and other targets (MIT, Stanford, UChicago, NYU Stern, UCB...)
EDIT: didn’t mean to reply to you, meant it as a reply to OP
where you go to school will be far less important than where you intern. Plan on coming to Asia for internships and shoehorn yourself into good opportunities.
Currently at MIT, from my experience, APAC offices are definitely prestige whores. Some of my friends in SK and HK/China who aren't at top schools don't even get looks (and by top in SK i mean SKY + Kt). These jobs are extremely popular because the pay is similar to US (avg pay in asia is lower in general for domestic companies). Going to a top school in US definitely puts you at a significant advantage (being able to speak a 2nd asian language helps as well). Schools to apply to in US are the usual suspects.
Alright My goal is to apply to wharton and nyu shangahi and also harvard and mich but just do the best undergraduate business programs in general ?
I wouldn't focus on just undergraduate business schools.
Just focus on top schools overall. Add top targets to your list.
