<p>Hi, I'm a male chinese junior currently living in ohio. I was wondering what my chances were for the top undergrad business schools. Thanks in advance!</p>

<strong><em>my school's scale is A+ (100-99), A (98-93), B+ (92-91) B (90-85), C+ (85-84) etc.</em></strong>
<em>*Since I have many B+'s, which would translate into A's at other schools that use the A= 98-90 scale, I was wondering if this would affect my chances. *</em></p>

U of Chicago-cant say...write amazing essays...AMAZING
UCLA-match(if in state) reach is OOS
UPenn (Wharton)- one can dream right?-reach</p>

<p>Thanks BIGTWIX for the quick post and I guess I better get to studying for those ACTs soon. Any other feedback would be greatly appreciated.</p>

<p>NYU (Stern) top choice, applying ED - Match
UMICH - Match (In-state), Slight Reach (OOS)
UC Berkeley - Reach (OOS), Match (In-state)
U of Chicago - Slight Reach / Reach (will depend on your essays)
UCLA - Reach (OOS), Match (In-state)
UPenn (Wharton)- one can dream right? Agreed</p>

<p>would umich really be a "slight reach"? I was under the impression that NYU stern was a harder school to get into. Also UMich has rolling admissions and you don't apply directly to the business school.</p>

8

<p>but youre applying ED to stern, which makes it easier. Also, Michigan basically uses a formula with grades and SAT scores (they also disregard freshman grades) to make decisions. </p>

<p>on a side note, thats a terrible grading system that your high school uses</p>

<p>scorp_ion:</p>

<p>UCB/UCLA: Reach (out of state)</p>

10

<p>You have little to no chance at ROSS as a preadmit. But UMich weighs GPA heavily and you are OOS with slightly above average ACT/SAT scores but below average GPA. Additionally UMich does not count any non-academic classes so your GPA will probably drop a little bit. Your almost identical to me (3.6 UM/UW GPA, 32 ACT here with very good EC's, and legacy at UMich, and in-state) and even then I consider UMich a match. My friend with a 3.7 and 31 and decent EC's and he's in-state was deferred and he was in the first batch to recieve decisions. UMich is defintly a slight reach without a doubt in my honest opinion</p>

<p>wow...I thought my grading scale was bad...</p>
