Small vs. Big

College Search & Lists
1

<p>School Size.</p>

<p>Current Situation: Already have most gen ed, out of the way, will CLEP/DSST out of the rest
Plan on at least double majoring, if not triple. Neuro(something), Computer Science/Engineering and possibly Linguistics or some sort of Chemistry. Really just trying to figure out which areas I would like to be an Entrepreneur/VC. (And I am already an MLO, but that’s just for income)</p>

<p>VERY unsatisfied with the quality of education at public institutions (and for-profit, UoP was a JOKE). To be fair, some of this blame falls on students who are there b/c their parents make them continue, but the programs that I have been in are, generally, way too easy. Attended a college prep high school (graduated in 2008) and had close to a 4.0 senior yr w/ minimal studying.</p>

<p>Small School Pros:
Small class sizes allow for more participation which (personally) improves my recall by at least twofold.</p>

<p>Big School Pros:
Entrepreneurship clubs will have more people from a variety of different backgrounds and majors thus giving me a larger selection (variety) of minds to leverage while building masterminds.</p>

<p>Other options:
BA/BS’s at a small school, do some graduate work at a larger more prestigious school.</p>

<p>Any input I receive is greatly appreciated due to my shortened timeline, i had my heart set on a small school until I considered the entrepreneurship club issue. I do not care about price or grades, I am using my Gi Bill, and I am sure I can max the SAT and ACT, thinking about supplementing my application with a GRE score as well. (yet to be taken)</p>

<p>Thanks :)</p>

<p>Sounds like you think you will do best in a smaller school so that is where you should probably aim to go.</p>

<p>Are you applying as a junior level transfer student with the frosh and soph level prerequisites for your intended major(s) completed? Note that, even at big schools, junior and senior level courses tend to be smaller than the frosh and soph level introductory courses.</p>

<p>Note that if you have significant college credit after high school graduation, you may not be eligible to apply for frosh admission at many colleges. For transfer admission, prior college grades are the most important factor, though high school grades and SAT/ACT scores are considered more if you are applying to transfer below the junior level.</p>
