<p>Don't be fooled by my 98% GPA. My school is extremely easy. </p>

<p>I am trying to show a passion for business, but there isn't a whole lot I can do. I am taking all 3 business classes my school offers. I will probably take a few more this fall at community college.</p>

<p>Haven't written essays yet or gotten teacher rec's, but I assume they will be good.</p>

<p>So, what are my chance at:</p>

<p>Penn(Wharton)
WashU (grandparents went here, many connections)
Michigan
Notre Dame
UVA
UNC
HYP?</p>

<p>National Merit Commended Scholar also</p>

<p>Come on guys, what do you think?</p>

<p>Hard to say... HYP and Wharton... definitely a chance... all the others you'll get into in my opinion</p>

5

<p>thanks sophomore. i was thinking that also</p>

<p>Good chances at all except Wharton, where you are 45-50% in my opinion.</p>

<p>Also, I hope you are aware that at most of these schools you will have to reapply for the business schools at a later point in time.</p>

<p>In particular:</p>

<p>Michigan and Notre Dame--apply as a freshman to get into business school in the sophomore year
UVA and UNC--apply as a sophomore to get into business school in the junior year</p>

<p>P.S. This is not true at Wharton (Penn) or at WUSL. For this reason, I would suggest you go to one of these, if accepted, over the others if you are worried about having to reapply for business.</p>

<p>Other good business schools to consider are NYU, Texas, USC, Illinois, MIT, Wake Forest, Boston College and Indiana. UC Berkeley also has a good business school--but it is hard to get into Berkeley from OOS, and also you would have to reapply for the business school there (and only 62% of the UC Berkeley students applying get in).</p>

<p>Best of success.</p>

<p>In everywhere but HYP-Wharton.</p>

<p>Wharton: 25% chance
HYP: 10% (as it is for any non-hooked, non-stellar applicant)</p>
