<p>I'm in the process of narrowing down my college list.
I will be applying as a business major at these schools listed below</p>

<p>Cornell University
U-Mich Ann Arbor
NYU
Carnegie Mellon
USC
Washington University St. Louis
Boston College
Indiana University at Bloomington
Northwestern University
Emory
Claremont McKenna University
Boston University
Penn State University - University Park
Babson College
University of Illinois - Urbana Champaign
Amherst College
Occidental College
Northeastern University
UC Berkeley
UCLA
UC San Diego</p>

<p>Stats:
2250 SAT (750 Math, 700 CR, 800 Writing)
3.8/4.0 GPA
4.5 UC GPA
4.2 W-GPA </p>

<p>Just purely statistically, can anyone tell me which schools are match, reach, and safety? I wanted to get a good balance of each. Thank you!</p>

<p>Are you really applying to 21 schools? Try to narrow it down to AT MOST 10. </p>

<p>Applying to all of these schools will not improve your chances of getting into your dream college. It’s hard to complete essays, show interest, and get to know each one of the colleges that you listed above.</p>

<p>REACH
Cornell
Carnegie Mellon
USC
WashU
Emory
UCB
UCLA
Amherst
Claremont McKenna College
Northwestern
University of Michigan</p>

<p>MATCH
Boston College
UC San Diego
Babson
Occidental
NYU
Penn State</p>

<p>SAFETY
Indiana University
University of Illinois</p>

<p>I’d recommend getting rid of most of your reach schools…you should have AT MOST four.</p>

<p>What are you looking for in a college? You can narrow down your list by establishing criteria regarding what you look for in a college.</p>

<p>Agree with the above poster. Narrow that list down. Preferably no more than 8 schools.</p>

<p>I would say that Penn State is more of a safety than a match, but that is just my opinion.</p>

<p>I would have to disagree with the above post; smeal has always been ranked in the top 20 undergrad b-schools by usnews and virtually all of the programs are strong. Wall street ranked PSU as #1 recruiting school and i would agree with you gk12z2 if it was commonwealth campuses but not for university park/ schreyer’s honor college</p>

<p>Penn State’s business school is actually quite well known, and the University Park campus has an acceptance rate of 54.8%, according to USNWR. That’s actually only 4% higher than University of Michigan–Ann Arbor’s acceptance rate. From those statistics, I think it is more likely considered a “match” rather than a “safety”.</p>

<p>Oh shizzle didn’t see the business part…I misread read. Though it said biology :)</p>

<p>hahah no i am not applying to all these schools. i’m in the process of narrowing down my choices. after all that’s what summer is for. i just wanted to get a clear picture which schools would be considered reach, match, and safeties. thanks for the feedback. </p>

<p>also with NYU, would you say Stern is more competitive than the school of CAS?</p>

<p>your chances of getting into your dream college. It’s hard to complete essays, show interest, and get to know each one of the colleges that you listed above.
