<p>Suggestions & Advice
~ I am currently still uncertain about which major I wish to pursue but I am leaning towards business. Is there other schools that I could put on my list that can embody my lack of a solid major and business?
~ How can I improve my chances the "reach" schools even though I only have a few months left?</p>
<p>woahh helloo there mr. stuyvesant high school, look at youu go
let’s see what i can do for you:</p>
<p>alotta of your schools seem pretty sick, but your unweighted gpa is a litle lacking, granted you go to an insane school, one that i know about bc i live in long island, but even with that, just a 90.4 might not get you intosome of the higher schools on your list.</p>
<p>your SAT scores do make up for it somewhat tho, and 800 on mathh congratss!</p>
<p>~ Early Decision: Cornell–reach
~ Wellesley–reach
~ Duke–reach
~ SUNY Binghamton–match
~ CUNY Baruch Honors–low reach
~ Syracuse–match
~ Carnegie Mellon–reach
~ Boston College–reach
~ Boston University–match
~ NYU Stern–high reach (just bc stern is a sickly business school and everyone wants to get in, just like wharton)
~ Northwestern–reach
~ Northeastern–safety
~ Lehigh–match</p>
<p>were applying to a lot of the same schools!
and mindd you the only reason I said reach for a lot of those schools is because though the GPA is to die for for a lot of kids, 90.4 can be imporved and for schools like Duke and Northwestern, you will have to imporve</p>
<p>I agree with most of the above but would call Wellesley a high match. I’d consider using the ED there unless the school you’re looking at within Cornell is one of the land grant ones.</p>
