<p>Are there any other good business schools you could recommend that either offer need based aid to the ~$100,000 range or I could qualify for Merit aid? Also are schools usually better in one specific department of the business school? I am looking at marketing. Thank you very much for your time.</p>
<p>UW Madison
Indiana - Check Website, they used to have auto scholarships for certain GPA/ACT levels
Rutgers - ??? Seems like an outlier. Both Indiana and Wisconsin are ‘better’ schools</p>
<p>Varying Levels of Maybe:</p>
<p>WashU - Don’t know about aid here
Boston College - Aid so-so. Big in Finance.
Georgetown - Bit of a longshot
Notre Dame - Same as Georgetown
Cornell - Same as Georgetown
NYU (Stern) - Same as BC
Carnegie Mellon - They love big Math & Science scores. Don’t know about aid
Northwestern - Kellog Cert. program a longshot</p>
<p>No:</p>
<p>UPenn (Wharton)
Stanford (Economics)</p>
<p>You’ve got a lot of “high match/low reach” schools. Your stats are competitive but many of your ‘maybe’ schools have low (<25%) admit rates, something that always makes me edgy. Personally I suggest dropping Rutgers, picking 5 or 6 of the maybes and taking a longshot on Wharton and Stanford.</p>
<p>Other schools to consider: USC, Michigan (though aid may be so-so), Emory and Villanova. Emory and USC have pretty low admit rates so they’re more in the high match/low reach zone.</p>
<p>Thank you all very much for your input. The reason I have so few “match” schools is that I have had a hard time finding any that I would even consider over UW Madison which I feel pretty confident about getting in, and I know is affordable for my family (In state). </p>
<p>@Legoo Calc BC is not offered at my school, and they will only allow you to do an independent study for it if you have taken AB. I could take the BC test, but it still wouldn’t show up on transcripts, and too be honest I probably wouldn’t study the extra material not covered in the AB class to do well. Also I did not place top 10 at ICDC last year.</p>
<p>Indeed, UWI looks like a perfect match for you unless you get 33 in the retake ACT. Getting merit aid with ACT31 may be difficult from any of the schools on the list.</p>
