Hey I am a current UIUC student. I would like to transfer to the UIUC business school, but I am fully aware of how it is very competitive. If I am not granted admission into the business school would it be worthwhile to stay at UIUC and study economics in their LAS school. I am also aware that they have an agriculture finance program in their ACES college.(Not real sure about the marketability of such a degree) I am interested in studying finance and accounting. My other option is that i transfer to UIC and study finance and accounting. How does the reputation play in the long run? I know that UIUC has great contacts. A little input is appreciated.
