<p>OOS for UNC, is UNC just as hard to get into as Dartmouth from OOS? Tufts is perfect size for me, but it lacks a business program and i may go business, but im not sure. Dartmouth is a reach, but it is a great school i may wanna apply. what do u think about these schools</p>
<p>Does it have to be one of those 3 schools? Since none of them seem to fit exactly what you want perfectly, maybe you should look elsewhere. That being said, if your list isn’t too reach-heavy, I would pick Dartmouth since it has what you want. You shouldn’t have to sacrifice a major just to go to a certain school. That’s silly to me. UNC would probably be too expensive OOS, but then again I don’t know what your financial situation is.</p>
<p>The answer depends on the rest of your list and the financial context.</p>
<p>What makes UNC more expensive than the other two?</p>

<p>Depending on your intended area of specialization, Tufts has a couple of business minors that can be combined with a major in economics to provide a strong foundation for a career in business.</p>
<p>Tufts has a highly regarded Engineering Management School that offers an undergrad minor in Entrepreneurial Leadership, which is one of the most popular programs at Tufts. It can include an internship for course credit.

<p>Most importantly these days, Tufts has a prime location for internships. It is a 20 min subway ride from the financial district in one of the top 10 financial cities in the world and located right on the “Innovation Line” which is becoming Boston’s new High Tech Corridor.

<p>What’s your goal, to be admitted to one of these universities OR to ascertain the “best” (remembering that we have no idea of “your specifics”) of the three? That’s a key question, because I suspect you’ll have differing answers. My individual opinions follow:
- Prestige and overall stature, Dartmouth > Tufts > UNC-CH
- Easiest admission (even OOS), UNC-CH
- Toughest admission, Dartmouth
- Best venue, Tufts (entirely personal, I like Boston, however, the Research Triangle is VERY nice (terrific weather), and if you’re “outdoorsy” Hanover is great)
- Most affordable OOS, impossible to predict accurately, due to potential FA decisions</p>
<p>Most important, they are all excellent undergraduate schools; one simply could not go wrong with any of them! </p>
<p>For outdoorsy people, the Boston Metropolitan area houses the second largest urban forest reservation system in the world. This includes the Middlesex Fells - a 3,400 acre urban forest, which is 2 miles from Tufts. There is also the 10 mile Minuteman Bikeway that is accessible from Davis Square (1/2 mile from Tufts and Tufts has a bike share program). </p>
