Your stats remind me a lot of mine when I was in high school 4 years ago. I got into UC Berkeley and NYU, rejected from all Ivy Leagues (except Brown didn’t apply).
Anyway, you’re looking really solid and I think that you’ll probably get into Mays no problem. McCombs, you’re looking good, but it depends on your SAT/ACT. I’d say, try to shoot for a 31 on the ACT or a 1400 (?) on the SAT and you’ve got a great shot.
I also recommend looking towards other schools on the East and West coast. There are a lot of great options. Also, consider Economics as a backup. You’ll find that if you learn Economics really well and study the other aspects of business, you may come out with a stronger base than most business graduates. Hope this helps!!!
