<p>Hi everyone, some of my top choices are
UTexas-Austin, UNC-Chapel Hill, Emory University, NYU and UMich Ann Arbor
for their business and advertising program (I plan to do a major in business and choosing between a double major or a minor in advertising)</p>
<p>i was wondering if any of you who have gotten admitted into any of these could tell me some tips and pointers.</p>
<p>brief summary of myself:</p>
<p>Currently a Junior, live in Duluth, Georgia. Indian </p>
<p>3.8ish GPA (weighted) -- do they go under GPA or under numerical value? Numerical Value (almost the same unweighted/weighted): 95</p>
<p>Decent SAT: 1980 (2nd time) 700 writing, 650 math, 630 reading, Essay: 10</p>
<p>Class rigor- pretty rigorous, by the end of senior year i'll have 6 APs under my belt (oddly enough, I chose the APs that College Board recommends if I want to go into Business by chance), and just about every honors class to think of (except 2). Our school has been named Best Public High School in GA for 3 consecutive years. Unfortunately, even with a 95 average, I'm still only under the 16-18 percentile.. =(</p>
<p>Lots of ECs....most importantly, I am the Creative Director of our school website (only 10 applicants in the entire school are chosen to work on the website...and being a REALLY competitive school..its a big deal.) Countless volunteer hours in service organizations....Red Cross, Hospital Volunteens, Hindi School Volunteer (over 3 years)....lots of it. Not including top honors awards, (National Honor Society, Legion of Honor, Honor Rolls, etc etc.)
Duke TIP participant for 2 summers (its a lot like one of those Leadership conferences)...President of Model United Nations, Treasurer of the Red Cross Club.</p>
<p>Also, some of my friends and I have started a web design and graphics design company..its pretty intense. We've had a decent amount of clients and our numbers are increasing. We've gone the whole nine yards..everything from business emails and marketing schemes. In fancy terms, I've been appointed the Chief Design Coordinator..and work on almost all the designs and also deal with marketing issues.</p>
<p>I might be interning at 2 companies in the coming year....an advertising agency and also help out in a statewide Indian Culture Magazine. I interned at a small company 2 summers ago, Royal Gems Inc.</p>
<p>I also have about 4 awesome awesome teacher recs. My essays are great. </p>
<p>That being said...will these colleges see my passion for business and advertising? Anyone think I have a genuine chance? ..could me being an Indian do any justice? I'm not sure if this is an important addition or not..but Finicial Aid is not a concern.</p>
<p>Thanks so much! =)</p>
