<p>What are my chances at the best undergrad business and economic programs ?</p>
<p>1) UPenn- Wharton
2) Georgetown- McDonough
3) NYU- Stern
4) Notre Dame- Mendoza
5) UVA - McIntyre
6) University of Chicago
7) Columbia
8) Emory- Goizeuta
9) Northwestern U
10) University of Michigan
11) Duke</p>
<p>You need to worry about getting in the university first at most, if not all of these schools. Most undergraduate business programs don't accept students until they are juniors.</p>
<p>Your chances at each of your schools based on your current numbers with my guesses. This is assuming you apply to the College of Arts and Sciences. Very few UG business schools accept students as freshmen as I said before.
1) UPenn (Far Reach)
2) Georgetown (Good Shot)
3) NYU (Good shot)
4) Notre Dame (Good shot)
5) UVA (Far reach - public university unless you live in VA)
6) University of Chicago (Reach)
7) Columbia (Reach)
8) Emory (Good shot)
9) Northwestern (Reach)
10) University of Michigan (Far Reach - public university unless you live in MI)
11) Duke (Far Reach)</p>
<p>If you live in VA or MI, you have a good shot at UVA or Michigan.</p>
<p>yeah, i know thats the case with uva and emory, but are my odds bad or decent, i know their not that good</p>
<p>i have legacy at columbia and upenn if that helps</p>
<p>yeah that sounds reasonable</p>
<p>Given your legacy at Penn and Columbia, then you have a better shot, assuming your parents (or Penn alum relative) is a consistent donor. Just having a mom or dad alum who won't give a dime isn't a real legacy in today's world.</p>
<p>Next, your odds at UVA look promising given your work outside the classroom, compared with mine, but since it's a public school, competition is fierce. But between Emory and UVA, you have a better shot at Emory.</p>
<p>Far reach: you prob won't get it (with what you have)
Reach: it's possible, but not that likely
Good shot: It's in your ballpark, but don't consider that as an automatic acceptance.</p>
<p>are my SAT's low for the far reach schools?</p>
<p>a little bit. if you think u can get an 800 in math, then shoot for it next time you take the sat. at any rate, duke, harvard, etc. are far reaches for everyone.</p>
<p>i graduated from college last year, but you can see my college decisions, etc. when i applied here:
