As a suggestion for a potential target school, look into the University of Richmond.

If you would like an additional option in the Midwest, consider Michigan State.

You can figure out your unweighted by taking 4 for an A, 3 for a B etc in core classes and dividing by # of credits.

If you do Intl Bus, U of SC more likely a match. If you do supply chain, UTK is top notch but then maybe look at Michigan State and Arizona State. If MIS, then look at Arizona and Minnesota. Here’s another thought - Indiana - you’d be direct admit to Kelley and it’s a top b school.

As for your list - I see U of SC as a target.

Wisconsin, Georgia and Maryland as low reaches. UNC is not direct admit meaning you have to apply to start in business Junior year.

The list is fine if ok with URI or UTK but your three majors, while can be done anywhere, do have pockets of strength as I tried to show - to the point that those schools would be bullet proof in regards to careers assuming a strong economy. All are heavily desired in their niches.

Any cost concerns ?

Good luck

Thank you for all the tips I will definitely look into those schools!
By low reach do you mean very low chance- from a lot of my research those had seemed appropriate targets but that was the overall school not major specific
As for the gpa calculated that way it would be a 4.0
Cost wise I am not sure yet exact numbers but it would be important to get some financial aid
Thanks again for all the advice!

Don’t say need aid. You need a price. You can get aid and be $20k or $75k

Set on a price. Some on your list may not be possible.

A 4.0 means never a B. Only A.

Thx

Will look more into price but all on list seemed good with parents upon initial looks and some Net price calculators
And yes, all As for all classes

Do you have any interest in participating in a varsity sport (track or perhaps tennis) in college?

One other school you may want to think about is Ohio State, as that seems to fit well amongst your other schools. A school completely different than anything on your list would be Bryant, which has a definite emphasis on business programming.

If you haven’t already done so, you may want to consider business specialty schools, such as Babson, for your greater list.

Ok so Va Tech is $61k but URI half b4 merit. No issue because there won’t be merit at Va Tech.

I’m not opposed to Va Tech - in my opinion the nicest campus in America and highly rated food.

A U of SC will be at least $20k less with aid.

That’s why I say - you can’t just say ‘it would be important to get some financial aid’.

That’s a generic sentence.

If you can afford Va Tech, then your list can be vast.
