<p>After a drastic change in life circumstances, I am now looking for a school that will provide the opportunity to double major in business and biology (and get into those studies right away).</p>
<p>I would like the schools to be very well-regarded in their business and science offerings. Prestige is very important.</p>
<p>Basically I have:</p>
<p>SAT - 2170
SAT II - 770 US History, 690 Bio
APs - 5 AP World, 5 AP USH (through junior year)
GPA - 3.75-3.8 weighted (huge upward trend)
ECs - Haven't cured cancer or anything like that, but did a summer study abroad and a bunch of other interesting things.</p>
<p>I am taking the most challenging curriculum my school offers, and will be taking 2-3 APs senior year (for around 4 or 5 total).</p>
<p>Washington University in St. Louis
Duke
University of Pennsylvania
Georgetown
Boston College
NYU
Wake Forest
University of Richmond
Cornell
MIT
USC
University of Miami</p>
<p>And then if you wanted to include publics (since you didn’t state anything about it), Berkeley, University of Virginia, UW Seattle, William and Mary, University of Wisconsin Madison, U Michigan Ann Arbor.</p>
<p>Ok, that looks like a solid list. The only problem is that I do not believe my GPA is high enough for a shot at Duke, UPenn, Georgetown, MIT, Berkeley, or UVA.</p>
<p>At a bunch of the above schools, you wouldn’t be able to double major in your two areas, or at least it would be very, very difficult, as business is in a separate school (and often requires a separate admission). Some of them are junior entry business schools, which will require a bunch of pre-reqs prior to admission, which might make the bio major very difficult indeed, unless you are taking five or six years.</p>
<p>You’ll need to check them one by one. You might find a place like Pitt more conducive to do both.</p>
<p>It’s not only feasible but almost common at WUSTL. Biology is the school’s top department. The B-School is also very good. There isn’t any red tape involved in double majoring, switching between schools, etc. Its selectivity is similar to the schools you feel you don’t have a shot at, but your scores are good, and you never know.</p>
<p>See what colleges offer a similtanious degree, which allows you to earn a degree from each of the schools (the Humanities/sciences school and business school).</p>
<p>At schools with top business programs it is very difficult to double major because there are many requirements just for you business degree and they are very intense. Biology is also a very intense major. Another idea might be to major in economics and biology. Both will be in the liberal arts and science school which will make it easier then majoring in two different schools.</p>
<p>Cornell’s business program is in the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences so you can easily double major in bio. However, the number of pre-reqs may force you to stay 5 years to complete that double major depending on what AP credits you enter with. </p>
<p>However, AEM has a 10% acceptance rate so it might be a little bit of a reach especially if you have no business EC’s. It may be better for you to apply for bio and then decide to double major in AEM later. However, even then, I have heard its competitive.</p>
<p>Penn’s Life Science Management program allows you to double with bio and business right away. It ain’t easy to get into but is the easiest way to double in 4 years and graduate from the best undergrad business school in the country/world.</p>
<p>You could also get a double major outside of the program but it’ll require more work and if you are admitted to Arts and Sciences as a freshman you’ll need a really high GPA to transfer into business.</p>
