Ok, but from what we know about you, you don't have grades/scores/etc to get into the "Best". So maybe you should rephrase and ask "what's a good business program in MASS for a Solid B student" (or whatever you are).

Us telling you Harvard and Wharton are THE BEST isn't going to help you if you have a negative chance of getting in, you know?

Or since you're "researching" and "googling", throw out some names of schools/programs you're interested in and see what feedback you get regarding the program's reputation, recruiting prospects upon graduation, etc.

It's January 17th. The time to research was last fall. Now is the time to hurry up and get some apps in. Generally, find a college where you would like to live and do an internship there. At this point, you really can't be all that picky.

Why don't you just go to a community college? It seems like you don't know what to do or cared enough to figure it out until it was too late. At this point, even if you do get into a good university, you might not enjoy it because you're just choosing from whatever is left without visiting or getting to know the school.

If you go to a community college, you can do your general ed and have ample time to figure out what you want to do.

If she goes to a community college that does not have an articulated agreement with a four year university, she may not be able to transfer her credits. IMHO, if someone is choosing the CC route, they should plan on continuing in their home state.

tweetybird, Your mistake was not being clear in your post. You should have said, "I'm currently attending a Community College in California and just not happy (or whatever) and am thinking of either dropping out or going to a college in Massachusetts." and then ask your questions.
