granted i have only ever taken one business course (intro to marketing, just for fun), most people i have talked to (marketing prof, business people) recommend majoring in something else if you plan to get an MBA, because the material will be redundant.

I go to Babson College...one of the biggest all-business schools that you can get. Business is not boring at all, but marketing specifically is VERY repetitive. Business is the way to go in any career, though, because everything you can ever possibly imagine is based on business and business strategy. I learned this only through my parents' encouragement to attend Babson...business meant nothing to me in high school. I can't imagine my life without all of this valuable knowledge now, though.

You can really learn a lot through business school. It will expand your horizons in every aspect of future career plans...this coming from someone who loves liberal arts and wanted to be a psychologist back in high school.

uh... i didn't say they said it was boring.... just that MBA plus undergrad would be redundant

I understand Cornell is the biggest in all Ivy. How big is the fresh class in general?
How hard to study in bio?

I think Penn's class ma ybe larger than Cornell. I could be wrong.

Anyway, I think the Frosh class is 2-3k in size (if memory serves).

I'm not sure which is bigger, but 2-3k seems to fit for Cornell's frosh class as well. In regards to the bio major, I can say that it's typically considered to be one of the more difficult majors here. But as is usually the case, once you're talking about the top 20 or so schools there really isn't much of a difference when it comes to academics in the classroom. There might be some prestige attached to going to an Ivy League or graduating from a top 10 ranked school, but I'm reminded every day that an education is only as valuable as what you make of it. Many of my friends from high school (who took the same AP and IB classes, similar GPA, and some w/ even better SAT scores) chose to attend state schools (free, I might add!) and they're enjoing it.
