<p>UChicago DOES NOT have an undergrad business school. Grad school yes. Undergrad no.</p>
<p>But...I still think you have a decent shot there. Your essays will make or break your UChicago application.</p>
<p>Your current stats fit in the middle of the accepted pool at schools ranked 25-35.</p>
<p>With your anticipated 35 ACT, you're then in the 12-25 range. At the Top 10 level, you would need both a high class rank (out of your control at this point) <em>and</em> exceptional leadership, or be able to fill a specific instituional need (geography, nationally ranked non-athletic skill, ethnicity, legacy). Basically for top 10 there can be NO weaknesses across the board.</p>
<p>Wharton? As hard to get into as HYP, if not harder. Berkeley-Haas -- maybe, but you still will not know about the Haas school until you apply as a sophomore. Stern? not familiar enough with it. Cornell accepts about 11% of the applicants to the "Applied Economics" program. Not sure why it is called that, must be something internally political, but it sure walks and talks like an undergrad business school. It is also not ranked in the Top 10 USNWR undergrad buz schools -- I suspect because of its name, not its quality.</p>
<p>You might want to look at Michigan-Ross. Your stats might match you well there.</p>
<p>I think a lot of people don't understand CMU's Tepper program which only has 77 freshmen last year. The acceptance rate has fallen every year and is below 12% now. The avg rank is also around top 4% in rank. Meanwhile, there are multiple 800s in Math. The school would not be a high match, but a reach, just as much if not MORE than the likes of Stern, Cornell, and Uchicago. Check the past year's acceptance data on the CMU thread for details.</p>
<p>I became more curious about why Cornell is not ranked in the top 10, so I checked and it is not listed in any of the subrankings in the USNWR Undergraduate Business School rankings either... Clearly USNWR does not think Cornell has and undergraduate business school.</p>
<p>Funny how one word makes a difference. Cornell calls their program "Undergraduate Business Program (not School). The degree is called a "Bachelor of Science in Applied Economics and Math."</p>
<p>I note that MIT calls its business concentration "Undergraduate Business Program" exactly as Cornell does, but somehow it is considered an undergrad B-School by USNWR and Cornell is not. Strange.</p>
<p>USNWR should just include it....</p>
<p>88.88 would be the equivalent of a 3.39 (3.4 essentially) GPA. Hotshot got your chances right at the schools you mentioned.</p>
<p>But, hey, there are a lot of other great business schools. My son is at Indiana (tied with Cornell for 11th best business school per USNW) and a 3.4 UW would get you in with the scores you mentioned, and with you having taken quite a few honors courses--and they have good scholarship programs if you apply early--and the scholarships would go up if you could get that GPA up over 3.5 by the end of this semester.</p>
<p>Other top business schools where you would have at least some chance:
Illinois, Boston University, Fordham, Bentley (in the Boston area), Colorado, Washington, Pittsburgh, Ohio State and possibly Penn State.</p>
<p>P.S. I have to disagree with DunninLA on Cornell. Cornell is ranked tied for 11th with Indiana on USNW's list as indicated. Their business school is located in the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences--but trust me, USNW knows about them--they just don't think that their business school quite beats out the top ten or Indiana (and rightly so--although that may change over time).</p>
<p>Also, note that Indiana has 7 different disciplines ranked in the top 10, while Cornell has none--so tell me which school should really be ranked #11--and which one should be twelfth or lower.</p>
<p>Also, Michigan admittees have an average GPA of 3.6 UW. And you enter Ross in the sophomore year, and need at least a 3.3 at Michigan freshman year to have any chance at entry. And UC Berkeley students have an average 3.87 UW GPA in high school just to get in, and then you'd need at least a 3.4 during your first two years at UC Berkeley to get into Haas Business School during the junior year.</p>
<p>what are the stats to michigan ross?</p>
<p>Check my last paragraph above. </p>
<p>Did you mean what percentage get accepted from the student body? That I don't know, although I do know that they offer about 90 spots to incoming freshmen (those with like 3.9 UW GPAs and 2100+ SATs)--and the remaining of the spots go to people who apply from the regular student body--and I think they only offered something like 7 spots to sophomore transfers--and there are a total of 350 who get in each year to Ross's undergraduate business program (overall--which includes the 97 above)</p>
<p>Oh, and I also should have included Purdue in my list of schools that the OP can probably get into.</p>
<p>Michigan ross = #6 on Businessweek's list, meaning it is above NYU's Stern, which as of now is a high reach for you.</p>
