anotherparent, what does your son want to study at the SOM?? I agree with your earlier post. If you do not get into the SOM, move on, geesh. BING is not Wharton, or Stanford or even NYU. If your son wants accounting, he can go to suny albany or suny buffalo. They have excellent business schools especially for accounting. Finance, well, I would say go to NYU, DUKE, U CHICAGO anyway. Do not get me wrong, Suny Binghamton is a fine school, but they make it out to be Cornell or NYU and believe me it is not.
