<p>“ryanbis- i understand that most people going for th bsba in SMG do not choose the international finance concentration. I was wondering if one concentration is more competitive than the other and also if SMG is harder to get into that the other colleges at BU? How much harder?”</p>
<p>I’m not sure what you mean by international finance concentration. There’s an international management concentration and a finance concentration–I’m not aware of anything called international finance.</p>
<p>I’m also not sure what you mean by competitive. If you’re talking in terms of difficulty, I can’t really compare beyond accounting and finance (since those were my two concentrations). I did find that accounting was a bit more challenging that finance. If you’re asking about competitive in terms of job prospects, then accounting and finance tend to be the most desired.</p>
<p>Keep in mind that everyone in SMG gets the same degree and takes the same business courses with the exception of their four electives (which determine their concentration). </p>
<p>As for SMG being harder to get into, generally yes; however, I’m not admissions and I have no idea about what goes into the admission process (especially since things are different today than when I applied years ago), so I don’t like to speculate on admissions-type questions.</p>
