<p>@indianboy2400‌ what do you think my chances would be of just UPenn not wharton?</p>

8

<p>@asukumar Probably a mid reach. Scores are still a bit on the low side for an Indian applicant (like myself), and plus you are technically an international. Be sure to apply to U of T, McGill, and Waterloo in Canada because they have pretty decent econ/business programs too.</p>

<p>@indianboy2400‌ Yeah I’m applying to a lot of top universities in Canada as well. Just looking at my options. I’m planning on doing my MBA in the states anyway, so I would mainly be looking at prestige vs cost.</p>

<p>A slight correction to a couple of above posts, who rate the following in re your chances:</p>

<p>Medium Reach:
Cornell</p>

<p>Low Reach:
NYU Stern
UCB
UCLA
Amherst
Georgetown</p>

<p>Match:
Claremont McKenna</p>

<p>The facts are: I agree with the high reaches (not listed here) but Claremont McKenna is rapidly on the rise, and - with this year’s entering lass(2018) is the most selective LAC in the nation, with an admit rate of 10%. This place it as more selective than Cornell , your ‘medium reach,’ (14%), as well as all of your ‘low reaches.’
Just want OP to go into the application process with eyes wide-open!</p>

<p>Solid chances at UCB, UCLA and NYU</p>

<p>To get into an ivy , you HAVE to focus on what separates you from the applicant pool. Your scores would fall in the lower half of the applicant pool so you HAVE to stand out. Your essay has to speak to the admissions officers and convince them to admit you. You do stand a very good chance at UCLA though. Berkeley is a match. The IVY’s listed there are completely elusive in your case unless you really have something unique.</p>
