<p>Schools:</p>

<p>-Reach-
NYU Stern (ED)
University of Michigan
Boston University
Penn State SHC (not sure...maybe just Penn State)</p>

<p>-Match-
Northeastern University
Fordham University
Baruch College</p>

<p>I need some more Match schools. I'm mainly looking for schools around the northeast with great business programs. Right now I'm hoping to get that acceptance letter from Stern as a Christmas present, but if not, I need to apply to schools that will be just as good. Two of my safeties (Baruch, Fordham U) are not places I really want to go and are really a last resort. I'm not sure if I should apply to Penn State Business Honors Program or just the regular business program. Thanks.</p>

<p>Most of your schools are on the large size....are you against smaller schools that are in the match area:</p>

<p>Bentley (47)
Babson (26)</p>

<p>As a better safety...How about UConn (66)? (Might be a bit more of a match if you are out of state)</p>

<p>Hey thanks for the suggestions...I'll checkout UConn...how do you like it so far? I'm leaning towards larger schools, so any suggestions for those? Thanks</p>

<p>Look at Bentley, BU, Babson as mentioned in the other thread</p>

5

<p>Try Lehigh</p>

<p>Boston U is prolly a match, not a reach for you.</p>
