I'm guessing not too many people are at this age, but anyone have any real plans for Grad School yet? I'm trying to figure out a good school for me after I finish next year, and I really have no idea.

I'm an Econ major, and apparently Syracuse's Maxwell school is really good, but I don't think I can handle that many more years in this ghetto, so I'm not really sure what to do.

It's a tough one to get into, but Northwestern has a killer grad school for business. I'm opting NOT to attend grad school after this year. I need a break from learning.

I'm finishing my undergrad at UDel a year early (i have this semester, and 4 more). Then I plan on using what would have been my 4th undergrad year to do gradwork here at udel.

Go to Wharton at UPenn. I'm either going there or Maryland. Although I learned of Univ of Baltimore's program the other day and apparently I'd transfer like 22 credits so I'd only need to take 29 credits to get an MBA.

I dont know much about other schools, but here they have one of the top business schools. I've got some friends in the Master of Land Economics & Real Estate (http://business.tamu.edu/lere/). It's suppose to be really good.

Here's how the business school ranks among others.... (http://maysbusiness.tamu.edu/2005/09/news-sept.html)

I was going to say either Wharton or Kellogg, but they had both been mentioned. But those are definitely the two best in the country.

I know that last year and the year before that, Maxwell had Harvard beat out for the number one grad school in the country..but that might have just been in relation to poli sci. I'm not sure.

The school is awesome. Tons of parties, a good basketball and football team (top 25 quality usually, although football has been sliding recently), lots of hot girls, the area is pretty good, DC is 15 minutes away via Metro or car, Baltimore is 45 minutes away. It's a good school.

I will be doing a postgraduate degree. Degrees are separated into undergraduate and postgraduate. Most people just do undergraduate degrees and then go and get a job in their field of interest. You pretty much only do postgraduate degrees if you are interested in research or want a higher qualification, such as Honours, Masters or Doctrate

i'm in grad school for public health right now, but i have no real plans beyond that, other than to find a sweet job.

i'd say to think about location when selecting a grad school. there's no point in going to a "good school" if you don't like where you are.

UPenn and NYU have really good grad schools, so does Villanova.
