YES! Wow - it’s so awesome you are taking over those cool businesses from your parents. It is very gratifying to be working for yourself rather than behind some desk at a big corporation. Business administration and management would compliment graphic design and fashion merchandising very nicely. I would look to double major in some combination of those fields, and concentrate in the third (ex. business with a concentration in fashion merchandising, and a second major in advertising). Also, if you do not qualify for finaid, I would look for schools you could get good scholarship money at. If you will be running your own businesses, it’s most important to start with as little debt as possible, and for that reason I wouldn’t recommend NYU (they are quite stingy with scholarship money, even for the brightest students). What about something like USC? If you are a national merit finalist, you automatically get half tuition. I know they have a strong business school…I am not sure about the fashion aspect.
