What schools did you turn down?

cacjr, I did that because I realized (and heard from very credible sources) that an undergraduate degree in business is very trivial. MBA schools do not look at the name, but rather the extent of participation in ec’s and grades. Thus, paying $32k (tuition only) for Marshall or paying $9k at UCLA will most probably lead me to the same end result. Yes, Marshall may be a bit more practical but Business Economics at UCLA will provide tremendous opportunities and many of the same business/finance courses. That was the primary basis of my reasoning and thus, my decision.
