Chances for Business Schools?

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

I am currently a senior whose applying to universities that have top undergraduate business programs. Some of these include Columbia, University of Michigan, Boston College, and University of Pennsylvania (Wharton being my dream school). I’m not expecting anything really since these are highly selective schools, especially for business, but can you guys please chance me? Other school suggestions may be great too! I plan to major in Finance.

Here are my stats:

GPA: 3.7 unweighted, 4.43 weighted (My school is one of the top ten ranked most challenging high schools in the nation)
ACT: 31
Rank: N/A
Took 13 AP exams: Received AP Scholar Award- (Scored a 5 on AP Calculus BC which I hope looks good for some business schools)
SAT Subject Tests: Don’t plan to show, but I got a 700 on Math 2 and 700 on U.S. History

Extracurriculars:

Founder and President of Finance Club (10-12th)
Ran Family Hotel Business- managed accounting, finances, reservations, front desk and sales, and even housekeeping. (11th)
Mock Trial Club member (10-12th)
American Red Cross volunteer (9-12th)
Congressional Youth Leadership Conference participant (10th)
Computer Science Programming internship (10th)

Letters of Recommendation:
Should be very strong, teachers know me very well.

Essays:
I write pretty well, my counselor says my writing is a strong suit.

Ethnicity: Asian (Chinese)
Gender: Male

Well, GPA and Standardized Test Scores are alright, but not high enough for the really selective schools like UPenn and Columbia (your school being top 10 really doesn’t mean much, it may in fact decrease your chances if many students at your school have really high caliber stats) .
Your ECs are alright, but the fact that you were the founder of a finance club at a Top 10 high school in the nation is pretty suspicious, I would expect a school like that to already have a finance club…

Columbia does not have an undergraduate business school.

I suggest you use the College search and selection forum for suggestions since many members don’t read the chances forum much if at all.

@theofrelord Actually my school is pretty small, and they didn’t have much extracurricular’s to offer so I came up and offered that for my school. As far as high caliber stats, I’m not sure if everyone is academically strong but i’d say i fall in the top 20% of my class. Also, just to clarify, my school is one of the top 10 “most challenging” not necessarily one of the top ten schools overall. Considering this, any thoughts?
