<p>what year are you?
for business school you need to maybe show more interest in your area of study. graduate schools don’t care at all if you have extracurriculars not related to your area of study… so try to get some internships or work on some projects so you are a more interesting candidate. your grades are good though, just ace the GRE</p>

3

<p>??? why GRE?</p>

4

<p>Impressive stats. You should get in to all these schools.</p>

5

<p>Northwestern - In
Duke - In/Competitive
Columbia - Maybe/Competitive
Penn - Maybe (its a crapshot for everyone)</p>

<p>Since you have 36 credits, your HS stats will have less weight. And of course, all of this depends on your essays. People with perfect scores and stats sometimes get rejected.</p>

6

<p>lol why GRE…</p>

<p>anyways THANK YOU EVERYONE!! I really hope I can get into at least one of them! I shall pray!</p>

7

<p>Maybe you should ask individual boards as well for a better idea :stuck_out_tongue: :)</p>

<p>yeah why GRE ***s</p>

8

<p>yeah i did… but no reply!!</p>

<p>You have a very well-rounded application so I’m assuming, odds are, you’ll get into at least one of them. And no, I’m not just saying that due to the fact that I have just recently applied as a transfer for USC Marshall School of Business and would like to believe that the more people transferring out will ultimately help my chances! HAHA just kidding. Seriously though, as Ace6904 already stated, you have a very good chance of getting into Northwestern.</p>
