does anybody know which university is good for business major?

If you mean Undergraduate (I think you mean that?),
look at the ranking table of USA News. Basically the top colleges are good for business major.

If you mean Graduate,
Wharton school of business is the most recognised.

im doing my ADP in Taylors too. its quite fun actually. just about to finish my 1st semester here. btw jthm, hows Nebraska? is it good?

It really depends on how you define "good".

University of Nebraska-Lincoln basically is not a prestigious university if you follow the ranking table of USA News. (2nd tier I think, out of 50)

However, university experience basically is a self-studying and self-exploring experience. How much you can benefit from an oversea education really depends on your attitude.

I think many transfer students from Malaysia are studying in Nebraska. So studying in a university with many people come from the same country as you would make you feel more home. And Nebraska is offering some kind of scholarship to transfer students (Inti, Taylor I'm not sure).

I would recommend you a forum for getting more education information,
http://www.recom.org.
It is really a great forum for discussing, sharing and asking about eduation,.


Good luck in your pursuit.

thank you very much guys. really appreciate your help.
btw, i found this site few months ago. CollegeBoard. good articles and very helpful College Search.

Im thinking of majoring in Real Estate, but not sure yet. what do you guys think?

Since you mentioned you're doing ADP. Erm...Transferring to Ivys will be a little bit harder.

Well, you can try U- of Michigan Ross School of Business. (I'm not sure they offer real estate)

and well...University of Wisconsin-Madison. Yes, they do offer real estate. And the school of business is good too.

Purdue University...

Do you plan to do graduate study after that?
And you should watch about your budget in choosing university too.

what is graduate/undergraduate study? im utterly confused.

I think they can, thats why they allowed me to enroll in ADP.
Is it hard to get aid, or scholarship or loan or whatever?
I dont really want to burden my parents.

I searched for universities that offer Real Estate major, but not many of them offer that. most of the universities that offer Real Estate are either private or really expensive.
but I found few public universities: UoMississipi, UoWyoming & UoMissouri.

Undergraduate study means "Ijazah pertama" (pardon my malay). Graduate generally means "master degree" or "doctorate degree".

I'm not sure with the scholarship stuff, you have to check with your advisor. Some universities have particular good connections with some colleges, so you will get the scholarship/aids stuff.

Hey, you must need to talk with your parents about the budget stuff. Money is always the first thing to think about if you want to get oversea education since financial aids are not always guaranteed.

ok, my 2 cents.

lol. scratch that last question..

how many universities should I try apply to? 1/2...8 maybe? how many is too many? is it possible if I get rejected by 10 universities I apply to?
*
Basically, apply to more than 1. There is no a fixed number as too many. Some even apply to 30++ colleges. Some apply to 1 only though it is not encouraged. Last time I applied for 3.

Normally what a school advisor will tell you is: Apply to 3 types of universities
(1)Reach colleges- Which you dream of studying there. But some chance of getting in
(2)Realistic colleges- Which are good universities but not as good as reach universities. You have better chance of getting in.
(3)Safety net - They might not be prestigious relatively. But you have very good chance for getting in. Serve as backup if you are rejected by reach and realistic.

Yap, it is possible for you to get rejected by 10 universities you apply to. But on the flip side, it is possible for you to get accepted by 10 universities as well.
