<p>@DADforExcellence‌ I am actually applying to McGill as well as the Ivey School of Business, which is the best undergrad business program in Canada. I am however applying to american schools to see where I get accepted, then determine the ROI. </p>

<p>UPenn: Reach
Berkeley: High match
UCLA: High match
Cornell: Reach
UChicago: Reach</p>

<p>Why don’t you apply to NYU stern? Fantastic business program with great connections, and you have a good shot.</p>

<p>@Catria‌ thanks!
@longislandkid123‌ I probably will apply, but it seems pretty expensive. Do you think Stern is worth it?</p>

<p>If you graduate with finance from Stern there are few schools (HYP wharton) that would give you a better shot at high paying job on wall street.</p>
