With some colleges going test optional, I'm curious about which test optional colleges are known for their business programs. Are there specific schools that have a good reputation in business and don't require SAT/ACT scores for admission?
Yes, there are several well-regarded test-optional colleges with robust business programs. Here are a few:
1. New York University (Stern School of Business): NYU's Stern School of Business is highly acclaimed and offers many special programs, like the BS in Business and Political Economy and the BS in Business, Technology, and Entrepreneurship.
2. University of Chicago (Booth School of Business): Although most undergraduates are in the College, Booth offers robust business programming for undergraduates through classes, research, and internships.
3. University of Southern California (Marshall School of Business): USC's Marshall School offers many specialized business programs, like World Bachelor in Business, where students study on three continents in four years.
4. Boston University (Questrom School of Business): Questrom offers several unique programs, like the BS in Business and Economics with concentrations in economic analysis, policy analysis, or econometric analysis.
Remember, even though these schools are test optional, all aspects of your application, including your GPA, essays, and extracurriculars, will be crucial for admission. Specifically for business programs, demonstrating some related experiences or clear interest in the field might give you an edge. You could do so through business-related extracurriculars, internships, or mentioning it in your essays.
