Business School: I Need Help!!

<p>Hi, I am a senior student from Toronto, Canada and I really don't know much about American universities and the standard of students they accept. I have always had my sight set on one of the top business schools in Canada (Schulich), but I have come to the conclusion that there are a lot more employment opportunities in the U.S. and the quality of education in top Candian universities cannot even be compared to those of the U.S. </p>

<p>I have always thought of Wharton as a far-fetched dream, but recently I have thought about actually applying to that school as well as NYU Stern. I'm no genius, but I really want to attend one of these schools, so I keep going back and forth between whether I want to apply or not (because then I would have to start studying for my SATs/ACT soon).</p>

<p>I need help deciding whether those 2 schools are too unrealistic or if they are a possibility for me.</p>

<p>2 more questions:
For the ACT test, when you indicate the college for which the results should be sent, what if you didn't do well on the test and decide not to apply to the college? (What happens to your test results)</p>

<p>Should you have already sent in your college application before your ACT scores get sent?</p>

<p>Thank you so much for your help. I really do appreciate it!</p>
