Bucknell Mgmt. Vs. UCLA, UMich or McGill

Newer, but small intensive 4-year program at Bucknell. Also accepted to 4-year business program at McGill (about 600 students entering class). Also accepted as Business Econ major at UCLA, and a general Arts and Science admit at U Mich. (did not get pre-admitted to Ross and would have to fight to get in at the end of freshman year where only about 30% of the applicants make it). What makes sense to anyone here? Big vs. small school, public vs. private, formal 4-year structured programs where one is already in the program vs. competing to get in. OOS everywhere so cost is not much of a factor although McGill is moderately cheaper.

bucknell's management 101 class is one of the most popular, difficult, and rewarding classes on campus. Management 101 || Bucknell University
you sort of have to decide for yourself whether you want to be in a large or small environment. i would definitely recommend going somewhere where you have already been accepted to your major though.

Have great respect for Bucknell

wife went there 20+years ago as accounting major; said it was tough as nails but learned so much. Seems to still hold true today, and almost everyone I've met from the school has been very successful career-wise. Like the idea of small class size and access to professors. School immensely well-regarded, i.e., in the Northeast. UMich has the big name recognition as does UCLA. McGill best known internationally perhaps. It's such a tough choice when all the choices are good.
