Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>I am currently a junior in high school and I know I want to go into business. I am pretty confident that I should be able to get into some good business state schools such as the U of Minnesota, Madison, and IU. As far as business schools that are realistic reaches I would like to know which of the top schools I'd have the best chance at. Here is my resume:</p>

<p>-I currently have a 3.92 unweighted GPA.
-I am ranked top 11.5% of my class.
-I have taken almost all honors classes and I am taking AP classes my junior and senior year.
-I have gotten a 26 on my ACT and will be taking it again, at least expecting a 27 in April.
-On SAT I got 510 CR, 690 Math, 580 Writing - 1780 overall
-I am in National Honors Society, a Treasurer in Key Club (2 years) and member for 4 years, varsity tennis player for 6 years and lettered + captain, Spanish club, editor for school paper, S.W.A.T.S club, Model UN, cofounder of club and co-president of it, volunteer at local charities and nature center, etc. </p>

<p>Schools:
- Georgetown
- University of North Carolina Chapel Hill
- University of Notre Dame
- UCLA
- Boston University
- Boston College
- Villanova
- Wash U in St. Louis</p>

<p>I'd like to know which of these schools I have the best chance at and if any of the schools are target/reaches rather than just reaches.</p>

<p>Thank you for your time and please comment!</p>

<p>That SAT hurts. Your best chance will be at 'Nova, followed by UCLA (high match/low reach based on your ECs and state non-residency) and Boston U. Otherwise you’re looking at a lot of reaches and a pipe dream in NYU and Chapel Hill.</p>

<p>Have you looked at Bentley? They’re a good business school, but marginally easier to get into than the top tier.</p>

<p>Please comment as I would appreciate the feedback. I only want to apply to 2 or 3 reach schools and so I need to know which ones are the most possible for me to be admitted!</p>

<p>Besides the three I told you, your best shot is probably WashU. Good luck! Have you considered retaking the SAT?</p>

<p>UCLA and nova look like your best chance, with most others being reaches. Try to improve those SAT and ACT scores, and make sure you have really strong Senior schedule.</p>

<p>WashU is a very high reach, those scores hurtt.</p>

<p>I think it would be worth applying to:
Villanova, Boston university, UCLA.</p>

<p>They are reaches but very doable.</p>

<p>Yes I am planning on taking the ACT at least twice more and the SAT once more. I know Wash U superscores the ACT which is nice and I could have a better composite for that. Any additional feedback would be greatly appreciated!</p>

<p>I’m not sure about Georgetown or UNC but I hate to say that you have very slim chances of getting into Notre Dame. Maybe if you raised your ACT to about a 31 you could get in, but the average ACT there is a 32. Sorry!</p>

<p>Might look at Holy Cross-very good school near Boston that is SAT optional</p>

<p>I’d say that because of your SAT and ACT scores, the toughest ones would definetly be ND, Georgetown and UNC. However, I know a kid at my school who is a senior now who miraculously got into UNC Chapel Hill with a 3.7 weighted and like an 1850 on his SATs. I have no idea how, but sometime admissions can be weird like that.</p>
