<p>Georgetown- High Match
Northwestern- High Match
Cornell- Low Reach
Michigan- Match/Low Match
UPenn- (Wharton) Reach
UVA- Match
UNC- (Chapel Hill) Match
(Charlotte) - Safety</p>

<p>Your extracurriculars are excellent, and your grades and SATs are good. I’d say you have an excellent chance at all of these schools except your Reach schools, UPenn Wharton and Cornell. Considering you live in NY, where there is a lot of competition, these will be difficult. I would suggest focusing your essays on your business strengths and accomplishments. I would also suggest adding NYU Stern to the list.</p>

<p>Thanks. I chance’d you back. The only reason that I don’t have Stern on my list is because I prefer to live in an area that is farther than a half hour train ride from my house. I don’t want to be the type that goes home every weekend on a whim.</p>

<p>Anyone else?</p>

<p>You have a great GPA and a pretty good SAT score. I would suggest retaking the Bio SAT 2 (I know Georgetown likes to look at all scores, so you can’t use score choice) and if possible, maybe a little more business related ECs. I agree that you should try to focus your essays around business. However, I do think that you’ve accomplished a lot, and it will definitely pay off. You have quite the resume!</p>

<p>Georgetown- mid-reach
Northwestern- low reach
Cornell-reach
Michigan-match
UPenn-reach
UVA-match
UNC-match</p>

<p>Good luck :)</p>

<p>Thanks! Unfortunately, I took bio freshman year and, because of everything that I’m already doing this summer, it’s not likely that ill have time to refresh myself on all the material. I am taking AP Bio this year but it will be too late by the time I finish. As a result, I’m hoping the adcoms will see the score and the fact that it was two years ago and look at it a little more favorably because of that. </p>

<p>The same goes for business ECs; everything I’ve done or listed that ill be doing is all I am capable of doing between now and the time of application.</p>

<p>Thanks again though for the comments</p>
