<p>I'm new to this site, so sorry if this is in the wrong forum...</p>

<p>I'm applying for the business programs at USC, UC Berkeley, UVA, NYU Stern (ED), UPenn, Boston College, Cornell, Emory, Washington U at St. Louis, and UTexas at Austin.</p>

<p>Academics:
IB Diploma Candidate
Cumulative GPA - 92.00/3.7
SAT - 1270/2070, currently going to retake aiming for 2400 (I know it sounds hard but I'm making progress)
SAT IIs - Bio: 650, Math: 640 (Retaking both, aiming for 750+ in both)
President of 2 clubs</p>

<p>Extra-curricular:
Run a tutoring service
Managed political campaign
Leadership role in student-run political group
300+ hours of community service</p>

<p>Can I get into the schools that I listed? My target is NYU Stern and I'm applying ED for that. Also, what match and safety schools would you recommend, and what would you recommend I work on to make my application and stats better?</p>

<p>the main detriment to your resume from what i see here is your standardized test scores and GPA. work hard and study hard to bring those up. also being the president of two clubs is nice, but what colleges look for in your presidency is if you made an impact, especially in the community. they hate people who become presidents of clubs and such just for the title and they have every right to. i would recommend elaborating about the impact you made through your presidency on one of the short essays or something.</p>

<p>i’m also looking to go into business, and duke in my opinion has a great connections and is part of the research triangle. their undergrad economics program is great, and uchicago’s undergrad economics/business programs is one of the best in the country. also some middle tier schools you should consider are umichigan, UVA, and william and mary. best of luck!</p>
