Soph: 3.7 gpa
Junior: 3.8
Senior: 3.9( predicted)
i have 2250 sat great EC's, 5 AP's and im sure I'm going to get strong recs
What colleges and should i go for with these grades. Im a URM and im poor if that helps. What TOP TARGET SCHOOL will i have the best chance at? Pretty sure harvard and wharton are out of the question. Im applying undergrad.</p>

<p>you should try NYU. NOt as prestigious overall as harvard and wharton (meaning its easier to get into), but business-wise for IB its right there with them.</p>

<p>Hey Hopeless2NU, </p>

<p>check out the undergraduate business ranking:</p>

<p>[Top</a> Undergraduate Business Programs 2010 - Businessweek](<a href=“Bloomberg - Are you a robot?”>Bloomberg - Are you a robot?)</p>

<p>Especially, UVA has a reputed business program. </p>

<p>Since I am from Europe, I would also advise you to apply to Oxford/Cambridge since it’s pretty easy to get into them if you’re an International Student (anyone who is not British or EU citizen). Your grades are good enough. Also a little tip, Oxford and Cambridge have both more than 30 colleges…you basically apply to one of the colleges…there are intern rankings…[Tompkins</a> Table - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia](<a href=“Tompkins Table - Wikipedia”>Tompkins Table - Wikipedia) is the Cambridge ranking…<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norrington_Table...that’s[/url]"&gt;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norrington_Table...that’s&lt;/a&gt; the Oxford ranking…the trick is to apply to the lower ranked colleges of Oxbridge…at the end, you are still a Oxford/Cambridge student…and the degree of all students is the same as well!</p>

<p>Hope it helped!</p>

<p>Best of luck,
Laila</p>

<p>Shoot for Wharton/Harvard/Princeton, and no, they are not out of the question.</p>

<p>But they are very selective, so don’t bank on getting in.</p>

<p>I would aim for Michigan (Ross), it’s a superb business program, and a big target school for IB. NYU (Stern) is also another good choice, as is UVA (McIntire). Other Ivies are good bets as well.</p>

<p>Don’t discount elite LACs either—Amherst/Williams are good choices, perhaps Middleburry, maybe Claremont McKenna.</p>

<p>Best of luck!</p>

<p>Definitely Claremont Mckenna. Most of the Bulge and Boutique Banks recruit on campus and this year we had at least 7 to 10 students receive SA internship offers, including my son.</p>
