<p>Im lookin at a lot of business schools in the North East</p>
<p>NYU
Fordham (really wanna go here)
Bentley
Babson
Lehigh
Georgetown (ill apply ED for the fun of it cuz ive always wanted to go here)</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>Dont crap on me too much</p>
<p>I'm gonna say if you don't have too great of a GPA, you need to improve on your test scores while you still can if you want to go to NYU or Georgetown.</p>
<p>I really don't know much about your other schools, but try to show some commitment for your activities in your essays.</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>I know I won't get into Georgetown...but theres gotta be atleast one average kid who gets in once in a while</p>
<p>and NYU...are my grades and test scores not up to par with what they admit?</p>
<p>Well I'm just saying, for instance, your ACT is bottom 25 percent or so for NYU admits, so if you want a good chance you MIGHT want to bump that up</p>
<p>Considering you didn't really mention any clubs or elaborate on your passions, it's kind of hard to chance you based on anything other than your stats.</p>
<p>Oh and business.. NYU Stern? That could be quite a bit harder to get into from what I know.</p>
<p>I'm not into school clubs or anything because its complete bs in our school. No one does anything, but joins just to say they did something. </p>
<p>I'm in a youth group where i actually do community services.
- 30 hour famine: fast for 30 hrs....to set that whole thing up, it took like 60 hrs of community hrs.
-soccer related community services...atleast 10-15 hrs</p>
<p>that kinda stuff i do...</p>
<p>and NYU stern is what i want to get into. I guess i'll just need to boost my grades and all.</p>
<p>Yeah definitely focus on your grades for your senior year. If you really put a lot of effort in your volunteer work, then you might want to show that in your essays. </p>
<p>Now I'm not positive, but you might have to apply to NYU Stern separately from just NYU? (Well, my friend's applying to NYU Tisch and he has to send in a special supplement and whatnot) so you might wanna think about how you're going to show that you'll fit in a business school.</p>
<p>Good luck, not much more I can add</p>
