Ok. Asked more questions.
But just the school -
FSU - unlikely
Fordham likely
IU yea but Kelley an unknown - we haven’t seen their new methodology. But last year yes.
Penn State - Smeal unlikely
Rutgers yes
Florida - unlikely
UGA - unlikely - not direct admit
Richmond - target
South Carolina -leaning yes
UVA - not direct admission, unlikely
Is there a budget?
You said IB/VC maybe?
Does he have likes - perhaps a large school (IU Kelley is bigger than most universities) is something he doesn’t like.
To say, I want Honors - you need to look. Some give housing and early registration. Others have classes but they are Humanity based, etc. hence my kid applied to the one at Alabama but not Purdue, etc. So it’s not just - I want Honors - and most offer zero advantage job wise - they are for the student experience. There’s not even a place on a job app.
Given the potential interests, I might suggest Bentley and Arizona State - but obviously VC comes different ways.
If the budget is high (he can go for $25K or $95K), schools like Providence and Holy Cross if religion is ok.
Other publics with solid B schools that are less competitive - Arizona State Carey (has the IBIS program if you can get in), Miami of Ohio Farmer, Alabama Culverhouse, Minnesota Carlson, Ohio State Fisher, UMass Isenberg, Va Tech Pamplin, Colorado Leeds, Wisconsin (reach).
You could look at TCU and SMU. U Denver carries above its weight in finance. Elon seems to be getting more popular.
You should see which are direct admit and which aren’t (you have to transfer in) from another part of the college.
Mainly - your budget and type of school the student wants, to me, should drive the decision. If you say $40K, the list is different (as is yours). If you say $95K, you’re ok.
Best of luck.
PS -if it’s accounting he wants, you can do it anywhere - literally - like Rutgers would be great as would most other state schools and Bentley, etc.
