<p>Employment

<p>Recs: Crazy good. Teachers love me. Counselor and I have outstanding relationship. </p>
<p>Will be sending in a portfolio of the best advertising/website designs I have done (where I can send in a portfolio).</p>
<p>Has gone through the application process or the degree for business? He's pretty much right, as long as you consider his terminology as:
Accept-Match (80%+ chance?)
Likely-Match/Slight Reach (40~50% chance?)
Reject-Reach (<25% chance?)
Forget it-Forget it (<10% chance?)</p>
<p>Georgia State--Safe Match (in-state)
UGA--Safe Match (in-state)</p>
<p>Ga Tech--(not a business school)--Slight Reach
Emory--Slight Reach to Reach
UNC-Chapel Hill (OOS)--Match (look, your GPA will carry you here--and you don't have to qualify for the business school until the third year)
UMich-Ann Arbor--Slight Reach
UTexas-Austin (OOS)--Slight Reach
Georgetown--Slight Reach
Indiana-Bloomington--Safe Match
UPenn (Wharton)--Reach</p>
<p>Other business schools I'd consider:</p>
<p>Notre Dame--Match to Slight Reach
Villanova--Match
Ohio State--Match
Virginia (OOS)--Match to Slight Reach
USC--Match to Slight Reach (closer to Match)
Illinois--Match
Cornell--Slight Reach
Wake Forest--Match to Slight Reach
Wisconsin--Match
Bentley--Safe Match
Pittsburgh--Safe Match to Match
Carnegie-Mellon--Slight Reach</p>
<p>And if you want to be a wild and crazy guy and apply to Wharton, why not:
UC Berkeley (OOS)--Slight Reach to Reach (closer to reach)
MIT--Reach</p>
<p>Don't be so hard on yourself--yes, the rank is lousy--but of the schools on this list, only Cornell, MIT, and Wharton really go by the rank compared to the GPA. Your GPA is excellent. </p>
<p>P.S. I'd drop Georgia Tech off of your business school list and concentrate on some of the others.</p>
<p>And as far as going through the business school route--I'm a MBA from UCLA and my son is currently at Indiana Univ at their Kelley business school (a sophomore). His high school sailing partner is at MIT in the business school (Sloan)--he's a junior. My son also took courses at Virginia's McIntire Commerce school this summer.</p>
<p>I disagree with other's assessment about UNC. They accept 19% of OOS applicants. It is near impossible to get in OOS. The OP has a better chance applying to some Ivies than UNC.</p>
<p>Your GPA looks a little low for Michigan - you could get in LSA there and then apply to the B-School after a year. It's still a reach. Indiana is a sure bet, same with UGA and Ga St. I'd say that Ga Tech is a match as well. </p>
<p>Texas will be hard to get into, it's a reach. Emory, Georgetown, Penn, and UNC are all reaches. UNC accepts 19% OOS applicants to their school, McCombs accepts 20% of all applicants to their school. </p>
<p>REACH:
Penn
Texas
UNC
Georgetown
Emory
Michigan</p>
