What do you even plan to major in? Going to SMU or baylor for a business degree would be pointless over UH.
WHOAAAAAAA. Your gpa and SAT are that high!!!! Dude you are like crazy skilled and accomplished!!! Knowing you're in highschool also explains your posting style. UH can certainly due without your douchbaggery. Please tell me more about how you're going to use your gpa and sat score on the world so that they are not wasted.
Baylor's probably a wild card due to its location and lack of rep outside of the state, but SMU's the best private school in a big job market and has a plainly superior MBA program; they get the types of internships and entry level opportunities the Rice kids get.
I think I have a pretty good idea who 713 is. Despite what he just said, 713 goes to UH/went to UH. He's a big Rockets fan, but I didn't see him in his section all season. I think it's the same guy. This is his second account. I forgot what the other one is, and don't care/is too lazy to look it up. Not willing to put this fella on blast yet. But if it gets more annoying I will. He can play the deny card all he can, but I'll try to show the proof. (but I hope I don't have to, cause I'm too lazy.)
Oh. damn. why's he got to be so angry? sounded like the other angry at the world rockets fan. maybe he's faking it. but case closed i suppose.
Yeah we hired one where I work, and I trained him with my undergrad UH degree, no smarter than me or anyone else I trained. But of course this is just one example.
Agreed. SMU's alumni network is kind of amazing, but I don't think the cost of attendance is worth it. UH is pretty generous when giving academic merit scholarship (or at least, they were when I attended a few years ago). I'd rather get my undergraduate degree with little-to-no debt from a school that still gives me opportunities.
And completely irrelevant to your original assertion that going to a top-15 nationally ranked business school in a major job market is no different than going to the sixth best in the state (and second ranked in its own city).
We are talking undergrad here, its hard to justify paying 35k a year for an undergrad degree when the UH kids are getting similar jobs for 10k a year. If its just a simple accounting degree or you want to be in the energy industry why would you put yourself in that kind of debt? Unless you are just some powerhouse student thats going to be in IB one day, then at that point you should probably be at mccombs.
The MBA Program and grad school sets the tone for the B-school as a whole: same professors, similar technical concepts and overlapping core curriculum. And U of H kids aren't getting similar jobs; especially if you start looking at local finance firms or explore administrative, analyst or internship opportunities for non-business majors. This new cost argument is meaningless: SMU is a more prestigious school as a whole, with a more recognized and better ranked business school, it's in a similarly large job market but has a better position within that market and others in Texas than U of H would in its own backyard.
