<p>Hi, I've been scanning through as much information as I can come across as to what colleges I should plan on applying for and have a chance at getting into. First here's a bit of background info:</p>
<p>3.6 unweighted gpa, 4.3 weighted gpa
13/455 in class
International Baccalaureate Programme
700 verbal/690 math/610 writing on first sitting for SAT
Decent extracurriculars (sports, NHS, tutoring, community service, leadership in academic studies)</p>
<p>I'm currently considering the Barrett Honors College with WP Carey Business at ASU as a primary choice as it's instate for me, and I'll likely get a full ride there. However, I'm curious if I have better options out of state that I could have a chance at getting into; specifically, USC, or Haas/Wharton (a bit out there I know). For a specific degree, I'm leaning toward Management with an emphasis on preparing for a technology oriented job (intel/microsoft/ibm sort of thing) but I'm still undecided. So any advice as to where I should be looking, or maybe what I could do to improve my profile (currently a junior) would be great and very much appreciated.</p>
<p>"Management with an emphasis on preparing for a technology oriented job (intel/microsoft/ibm sort of thing)"</p>
<p>Sounds like Carnegie Mellon (Tepper Business) though Tepper offers a lot more than the stereotypical "tech business fields". I think it is #2 in Management Information Systems and #2 in Quantitative Analysis. The school is #5 overall and has a median starting salary of 55k without bonuses (60+ with bonuses).</p>

<p>Actually, I would say that when it comes to tech management, it would be MIT Sloan that would first come to mind. It's hard to come up with a better tech management school than that.</p>
