<p>Currently a rising senior from the Chicago area and curious to see what I could get into in order to plan what colleges to apply to. I'm considering going into accounting/finance and I was thinking of UIUC or maybe Michigan Ann Arbor as the middle tier and schools like Northwestern or NYU as reach schools. Also, I'm considering Duke and Carnegie Mellon. I'm open/appreciative to other suggestions about schools with good business programs. Thanks!</p>
