UW Foster School of Business vs UMICH Econ LSA (No Ross)

If you want to be in business school then your choice is made. UW is a fine choice. But the misconception with Michigan is that if you don’t have Ross your toast. So many business companies recruit at Michigan non Ross kids. Your not competing with them per se. Your coming with a different skill set. The alumni are Michigan are great “if” you take advantage of them but of course not in every situation.

It’s all about what you do on campus and really not what school you go to. Few CEOs have business backgrounds. Think about that for a minute. Michigan is an international brand. Washington is a regional brand. Nothing wrong with either.

Don’t count on getting a minor in business. Hard to get. Entrepreneurship minor is amazing at Michigan. My son’s class’s were taught by CEOs one from Biggby Coffee. I am reading his book “Grind” now. Read that and save the 4 years… Lol…

Good Luck.
