Chances for Undergraduate Business?

<p>Hello, this is my second time posting this because I only got 2 replies last time. :( If theres any information I'm leaving out that would help please comment.</p>

<p>Schools I intend on applying to (for Business):</p>

<p>University of Texas at Austin
Texas A&M University
University of Notre Dame
Villanova
Boston College
Carnegie Mellon
WakeForest</p>

<p>I know a lot of these schools will be reaches because of my EC's and maybe even test scores.</p>

<p>School Type: Public
Location: Texas
Race/Gender: Caucasian Male</p>

<p>Unweighted GPA: 3.80
Weighted GPA: 4.5
Class rank: 99 / 1047 (Expect to go up to ~8% after 6th semester GPA is calculated)</p>

<p>SAT I Math: 670
SAT I Critical Reading: 690
SAT I Writing: 790, 10 Essay
SAT I Composite: 2150
SAT I C+R: 1380</p>

<p>I won't be applying for any financial aid. Decent class rigor (One levels class in 4 years, mostly AP & Honors classes). </p>

<p>~Extracurriculars~
Mu Alpha Theta (Math Honor society) - 2 years
National Honor Society - 2 years
Business Professionals of America (Business club) - 3 years, secretary 1 year
Student Council - 2 years
2013 Summer internship at a mortgage company </p>

<p>Not a lot of volunteering or anything special. My EC's are pretty mediocre. </p>

<p>Thanks so much for reading!</p>

<p>You are in at A&M
UT is impossible to figure out - you certainly have a good chance
Have you considered smaller schools like Rice (reach) or Trinity University (solid match and may get a scholarship)?</p>

<p>Your SAT scores look about average for Carnegie Mellon, but nonetheless, they still are very good.
You pretty much have A&M in the bag.
In 2012, the average SAT score for an entrant into the McCombs School of Business (UT) was about a 1970. So your scores are looking very good for UT.</p>

<p>Thanks for chancing me!
Yes A&M is my safety school, while I’m really hoping for UT since its in-state but I know its pretty unpredictable.
My school doesn’t send a lot of people to Rice and the ones they do send are URMs (Valedictorian was rejected from Rice last year).</p>

<p>Edit for clarity; I am not opposed to education at a smaller school, but I want a good education in business with high recruitment prospects. And preferably not in my home state, Texas.</p>

<p>Rice is very tough. Another school to consider is Arkansas. Their business school is pretty darn good (thank all that Walmart money). As a Texan and with your stats I think you will be able to get in state tuition. I think A&M is better but if you decide that College Station is not for you and are looking for a good deal Arkansas may be worth a look. SMU is also pretty good but is probably not worth it unless you get a really good scholarship. If you decide that you would prefer a small school check out Trinity.</p>

<p>I loved College Station when I visited and A&M is definitely my back up in case I don’t get into a better school.</p>

<p>Mostly I’m wondering if I have any shot at the reaches I’ve listed like CMU, BC, and most of all, ND.</p>

<p>UT you’re in, I can see you getting into Villanova as well. Wake Forest is likely. I don’t know much about the other schools except Carnegie Mellon is hit or miss, it’s extra credits that will help your test scores start to stand out.</p>

<p>Best of luck!</p>

<p>Thanks! Bump</p>
