Does anyone know how hard it is to get into the Wisconsin School of Business if you’re admitted as a pre-business student? My daughter got admitted off the waitlist yesterday for pre-business and wants to study accounting & finance. She is currently planing to attend the University of Miami and was directly admitted into the Herbert Business School, but thinks she might like the culture/students of a midwest university better and has also spent her summers at a family lake house in Wisconsin. Being from Southern California, she likes the thought of four seasons and Coral Gables can be hot & humid. She has a nice merit scholarship from UMiami so the cost is higher at the U, but not material. She has a sibling already at Miami, but friends from both CA & WI going to Madison. She is in a bit of a quandary, because if she doesn’t get into the WI business school it doesn’t really serve the ultimate goal (at least right now). And FL (and all the south) is booming with business job opportunities. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks!
