Hello there! I aspire to attend a university where I can pursue my interest in business. I know my resumé isn’t very impressive, but I’d really appreciate it if you would give your opinion on which colleges would be fitting for me. Thanks in advance!

Overall unweighted high school GPA: 3.97
ACT composite score: 31
I am rank at 4/33 in my class.

In terms of classes, I have taken AP World History, AP Human Geo, AP Calculus AB, AP Government, AP Computer Science, AP English III, AP U.S. History, AP Psychology, AP Chemistry, AP Calculus BC, AP English IV, and AP Biology (12 AP classes total).

Extracurriculars:
ALA Girls State - I ran for Governor and won
Quiz Bowl - 9th - 12th grade; in 9th and 10th grade, we were state runner-up champions
STEM Festival - I won 2nd place in Biology in 11th grade

I am also an Arkansan resident.

With all this, which universities would best fit my interests, while also staying within my standards? I’d love to hear any and all opinions on this. Thanks again!

How much can your family afford? Do you want big school sports?

Your GPA is excellent, as are your EC’s. ACT is good but may want to keep working towards a higher score. Here is a list I look at for my junior D who has an interest in undergrad business - http://poetsandquantsforundergrads.com/2016/12/05/poetsquants-best-undergraduate-business-programs-2016/

@“Erin’s Dad” my family can afford up to 40k a year. as for the size, it doesn’t matter to me as long as the education quality is good.

5

Are there any particular concentrations you’re more interested in?

6

@philbegas I’m thinking sales perhaps.

7

Sales is not a major. Marketing maybe? Or communication? You would get good merit aid at U Alabama.

8

@“Erin’s Dad” there is a Professional Sales Major at Bentley University. I would suggest this school to the OP.

9

I learn something new every day.

10

I think Elon may have a concentration in Professional Sales. I think it’s also 40 something a year, which is over your budget, but not by that much

11

Speaking of Bentley, Bryant has a sales (and a billion other concentrations) and for stats like yours I bet you’ll get good merit that will push the COA down.
