"Western Michigan University", a doctoral research university with the largest donation in public university history, is the best. If you get admitted they have tons of generous scholarships and they even pay for your internship and in some cases, for your dorm.

Hey man, i appreciate the advice i just have a few questions as a rising senior, does every college have a different question? should i have these essays written beforehand or do i worry about them and write them the night i am applying? where do i find the prompt?

[@Klozcx123]

ask your counselor

[@AnjaliSingh-hh9vk]

Every school has essays specified to their interest. But, you are ideally supposed to be prepared with an Essay during the summer after junior year which will be common to all the colleges you apply to (if you wish to apply to multiple schools). You can find prompts on websites of the respective schools.🎉

what are some of the best extra curricular for someone trying to go into business finance?

[@Asher-xo3gd]

Admissions don’t care as much about specific clubs, rather the level of involvement. Finding a club or putting a lot of hours in an existing one both look great on an app. Only specific one I’d suggest is having a service org that you are involved in
