<p>Eh, it’s hard to work with only two years of grades. I would say your unweighted is perfectly fine (it’s mine :p) so just try to keep mostly As. Unfortunately, your dad working there isn’t a legacy; also, how is your dad a biologist and you’re a first-gen college student?</p>

<p>UPenn: If you apply ED for Wharton, you have a very good shot. Make sure to get over 2200 on your SAT (and National Merit Finalist helps too).
Chicago: Also a good shot. Better than Penn, even.
Berkeley: California’s poor right now, so OOS probably won’t hurt you. Haas is pretty competitive though, so it’s a mid reach at least.</p>

<p>NYU Stern: I would say you have a very good chance, probably a high match.
UVA: Prefers instaters, so more of a reach.
WUSTL: Low to mid reach. Depends really on your SATs.
Notre Dame: Low to mid reach. Depends on SATs.
Michigan: Probably rather easy to get in, as Michigan likes out-of-staters. I’m sure the business school is competitive, so low reach.
UMCP: in
Rutgers: in</p>
