<p>applying to business undergrad.</p>

<p>U of Pittsburgh- accepted</p>

<p>Chance Please:</p>

<p>Emory early decision- reach, cousins/uncle/aunt members went there
Penn State
Purdue
Northeastern</p>

<p>Where else should i apply</p>

2

<p>Emory: Match
PSU: Low match
Purdue: Low match
NEU: High match</p>

3

<p>Really? Throughout this whole process I have seen Emory as a reach for me. Any other opinions? Also, I saw northeastern early action as a tough one… </p>

<p>Any other opinions?</p>

<p>forgot to mention that my recommendations are great.</p>

<p>are these matches true considering my lower than what i would’ve liked SAT scores?</p>

<p>PSU and Purdue are match schools for you with a good chance at acceptance.
Northeastern and Emory are stretch schools with a lower chance at acceptance. I would agree ED would be a good idea if you really like emory. </p>

<p>Yes better SAT scores would help but realize that Emory and NE are in a different selectivity class (30%ish) so you really cant be in the low end of the norm without ED or some sort of hook.</p>

5

<p>How can he be a match at Emory but a low match at Penn State and Purdue? I would say:</p>

<p>Emory: Reach
PSU: Match
Purdue: Match
Northeastern: High Match</p>

6

<p>@justblewit and others
What does high match mean?? Also, Where else should I apply?? I want a few more schools</p>

7

<p>Emory has turned into a reach now that you mentioned it.</p>

<p>But a high match is a school that is a near-reach.</p>

8

<p>A high match is not quite a match but not a reach.</p>

9

<p>Are there any other schools that you would consider High Reaches other than Northeastern or emory (reach). Since I already got into a great program at Pitt, I would probably only go to a school that is of higher reputation or quality.</p>

10

<p>With your GPA and SAT score I think you could possibly be a match to high match at a few out-of-state public schools. Have you considered UVA, UMich, UNC, or Berkeley? Write a damn good Common App essay and get some good recommendations. That Buisness internship should help you out too.</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>

11

<p>bump… need more opinions …thanks</p>

12

<p>CollegeBound your post is a bit vague. What kind of school are you looking for ? What state ? How big a campus ? </p>

<p>You have good credentials that can get you into hundereds of schools. You should choose someplace you fell you can thrive.</p>

<p>@mitchklong and everyone else</p>

<p>PA resident. Since I am in Pitt’s business school, and have some more big universities/business schools on my list, I was hoping I could have some mid size (NOT Liberal Arts) schools that you think I would get a great business education from. Again, I feel my supplements (essay, rec’s, etc.) will really help me out, so dont go solely on GPA/SAT. </p>

<p>Thanks</p>
