Chances for BUSINESS School [International Student]

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>Hey guys, I am a grade 12 student applying to some business schools next year and would like to have some feedback of my chances. I was at first just going to apply to Canadian universities, then I decided to expand my horizon and apply to some US universities.</p>

<p>International Student (Canadian)
I do not know my GPA as we do not really use that here, instead my Grade 11 marks were:
Math: 90
English: 86
Physics Honors: 84
Spanish: 84</p>

<p>AP Micro Economics - 4
AP Macro Economics - 5</p>

<p>This year I am taking:
Math (my prediction A-)
Physics (my prediction B+)
Spanish (my prediction A)
AP English- (my prediction 4)
AP Calc AB- (my prediction 4)</p>

<p>My high school is a private boarding school, one of the most rigorous in the country.</p>

<p>I am taking the SAT in December, but I am not good with standardized testing...
My guess is around 1830, around 600+ for CR, 620+ for Math and 600+ for writing</p>

<p>ECs:
Head of Boarding House
School Prefect
Vice head of Student Council (student council 2 years)
Head of Business Club (Was a director last year) (business club 3 years) (We started a on campus student run coffee shop. First year I was promoted to Director of Operations, and now I am the Head)
Peer Councilor (1 year)
400+ Volunteer hours
Was on the yearbook team in Grade 11, as well as a trivia team called Reach for the Top</p>

<p>Teacher recommendations: Strong (AP Econ teacher, Spanish 9-12 Teacher)
I have very good relationships with these teachers, as well as my councilor was my houseparent so he knows me well outside the classroom.</p>

<p>[QUESTION] Would it have a better impact if my second recommendation was from an English teacher than a Spanish teacher? Or do you think that it should not matter...</p>

<p>Schools: (Applying to the their business programs)</p>

<p>USC
Babson
Bentley
Northeastern
Notre Dame
Villanova University
University of Richmond</p>

<p>I am applying to those for sure.</p>

<p>As for these, they are potential/undecided schools. They are potential, some because they may be too much of a reach, and some because I do not have too much information about their business program as I would like. So could I please have some feedback as to which schools are better for business? Thanks a lot.</p>

<p>So potential/undecided:
Emory
University of Virginia
George Washington
Loyola College
Pepperdine
Georgetown University
University of Washington</p>

<p>I know some of these will be a reach for sure, but are there any that I should definitely add to my list? And are there any universities that I have overlooked which have a strong business program that I should be looking at?</p>

<p>Could you please tell me if these schools are saftey/match/reach, but also a bit about the school if you have any information.</p>

<p>Thank you so much to everyone for your time and feedback,
KD</p>

<p>Oh I forgot to add that I am not taking any SAT II's as I will not have enough time...</p>

<p>for one you should say what you want to be for your specific major and then head over to business week or USNWR to check out the ranks, just to get a basic overview of the schools you're looking at. you're grades seem pretty good , but your SAT is average. if you are applying to business school there are some schools that are questionable like loyola, pepperdine and George Washington. I'd say UVa, Emory, Notre Dame and Georgetown to be your highest reach and target schools would be Babson (if you're doing entrepreneurship, U Washington, USC and Villanova....you can also check out Indiana University - Kelley School of Business ...it is quite well known and the university is pretty easy to get in, they have a very selective Investment Banking Workshop that has, so far, 100% placement in investment banks so you can consider that, other schools to consider is U of Michigan and Boston College</p>

<p>Hey IFailedCalc,
Thank you so much for your reply.
As for my major, I am not sure as yet... I'm thinking management/entrepreneurship, probably not accounting...
I've used Business Week quite a lot for my research.</p>

<p>My Updated List is as follows:
USC
Babson
Bentley
Northeastern
Villanova University
Notre Dame (even though it will be a reach)
Emory (same also high reach)</p>

<p>Should I apply to?:
University of Richmond
University of Washington
Georgetown University (im thinking that this may be too much of a reach for me...)</p>

<p>I decided to take University of Virginia off my list because they may be too hard to get in to, especially being a public school.</p>

<p>As for my most up to date predicted marks:
AP CALC AB: 4
AP English Lang: 4
Calc 12: 92
English 12: 86
Math 12: 90
Physics 12: 78 (**** my teacher, he sucks)
Spanish 12: 93</p>

<p>I would really appreciate if anyone could comment on my decisions, if is should/should not apply to those three in the undecided list, as well if is should add any universities/take any off from my list.</p>

<p>Thank you in advance for all your help and time
