I’m a junior (haven’t taken sat yet) but I’m really interested in finance/economics.
3.65 uw 4.0 weighted gpa
Only 1 ap but I’m planning to take at least 4 more next year
All honors/ib/ap core classes except math classes fr. and soph. year and english freshman year
ok ec’s, 2 clubs and 2 varsity sports as well as a job
1270 on psat - I’m hoping for around 1400
Schools: Umich, Northeastern, Boston College, Boston University, Indiana University, UNC, Villanova, Georgetown, NYU
I know that some of these schools (Indiana, Villanova, NYU), the business programs are much harder to get into.
Given interest in business, if anyone could suggest any safety schools that would be much appreciated.
If you could chance me at any of these that would be great.
Do you have any business-related awards and/or business-related ECs (Co-founder of some company/nonprofit, FBLA, DECA, etc)? Those would significantly boost your app.
Your grades are a tad low; you should be aiming for 33+ on the ACT and 1450+ on the SAT, if possible.
Maybe add Babson to your list? It wouldn’t be a safety, but it has a great b-school that’s consistently ranked high on graduate earnings.
I was accepted into Wharton ED this year, so feel free to message me if you have any questions about undergrad business schools.
Hi – would you be kind enough to share with us or just myself (a parent) regarding your admission to Wharton - undergrad – grades, EC, etc. and what other programs did you apply? Also, the fees are kind of steep!! Any information would be really useful. My son would be applying next year///most likely!
Will pay it forward to other applicants in the future!
