UNC Chapel Hill vs Wesleyan vs Dickinson w Presidential Scholarship

Congrats on great admissions.

How do you know you can walk on no problem?

Great social life - sounds like UNC, Wesleyan, DIckinson.

Pick up basketball - sounds like UNC, Wesleyan, DIckinson.

Don’t want to be greek - sounds like you can be at UNC, Wesleyan, DIckinson.

Please don’t equate “rigor” with a name not ranked as high. You’ll find some classes more rigorous. Others less. I remember when I was in grad school at #40 for my MBA. My roomies college roommate was at Wharton (#1) and he had little rigor where we were loaded. The point - you don’t know a school’s rigor just because it’s rank. It may be better, the same, or worse - but it’s likely class dependent.

All will get you to grad school - in fact most schools - even not these would. What grad school - if you think MBA, you’d need to work a few years first - to go to one that can impact your life - top schools won’t accept you without experience.

So Keenan Flagler isn’t direct admit except for a small amount of kids they have Assured Enrollment. You are saying you are one of them?

One concern - Econ is in Arts & Sciences and not KF. So you might be doing another major that’s in KF?

At Wes, you’re not getting sports coursework - but it seems like you’re getting the rigor you’d like in CSS - As a CSS major, your sophomore year will consist of three small (no more than 10 students), intensive tutorials in government, history, and economics, and one larger colloquium in modern social theory.

Dickinson has Law & Policy, Poli Sci, econ and more.

On the surface, if money is no matter and I’m not sure the difference, I’d eliminate Dickinson because the CSS program at Wesleyan seems up your alley.

That said, I do think UNC is the better school for you given you are interested in Sports Management and I don’t see any related classes at the other two.

If I were to consider Dickinson, I might combine your major choice with the Intl Business Major that I don’t believe Wes has.

If you’re ok with the size, it seems to me UNC just fits better.

While you’re international so likely going home, I put the link for exercise science at UNC below. Salaries are about $40K - but it doesn’t break out Sports Management so I don’t know how well they do there. But of course a major like this is low paid; everyone wants to work in it - but the skills you’ll get in this program will probably transfer well to your home country.

Wes doesn’t post usable data. They are big in entertainment - so you might ask career management if they place folks into sports teams.

I included Dickinson - they show hires at the NY Jets and Mets. You can look on linkedin for background - one did an english degree and then masters at gtown in sports management. Another did a sociology degree.

I lean UNC based on info you provided- but hope that helps. Of course, it’s the biggest by far of the three.

Good luck.
