<p>if you improve your SAT score, u'd have a much better chance at top undergraduate business programs such as wharton, nyu, MIT, michigan, UVa, berkeley. your GPA is good, but the SAT is on the low side. all of schools listed above are reaches for you.</p>

3

<p>What about the University of Texas Austin or University of Illinois???</p>

4

<p>U Wisconsin, Madison--match</p>

<p>To the OP: I would not recommend MIT to you, even if you were to get in. I don't want to be overly harsh, but your academic record does not seem to demonstrate the sustained excellence in math and science that you would need to succeed at MIT. Keep in mind that everybody at MIT, including the management students, has to complete the General Institute Requirements, which is a heavy dose of grueling math and science, where you will be competing against other MIT students who comprise many of the top technical students in the world. I have a feeling that this would present difficulties for you. Keep in mind that not everybody who comes to MIT actually graduates. MIT is not an easy school by any means. Some people run into serious academic problems, and the GIR's are often times the cause.</p>

<p>I already knew I had no chance at MIT and I didnt have an interest in it at all.</p>

7

<p>What about University of Georgia, I am instate. Do you think it could be a safety?</p>

8

<p>More like safety/match. G State would be a good safety instate with its good business school.</p>

9

<p>What is your class rank? If you are in the top 5% you have a shot at UT-Austin, but it would still be a reach since you're out of state.</p>

10

<p>My school does not rank. But most likely my ACT score will be around 27 or 28. Also I think my top two choices are University of Georgia, Indiana University Bloomington, University of Pittsburgh, Rutgers University, Penn State, and University of Florida.</p>
