<p>Wharton is a huge reach. My friend is ranked 2 out of 750 kids in his high school with better scores 12 APs (9 5’s and 3 4’s), and many many business awards got rejected from Wharton. Other looks like good chance.</p>
<p>Thanks… Bump</p>
<p>i’d say you’re where you want to be stats-wise for the schools you listed
i wouldn’t call your chances at Wharton a “huge reach”, sure there are a lot of very qualified people who didn’t get in, but people DO get in to the school (many of which have stats around yours) and you should definitely apply to the school if that’s where you might want to go. If it’s your first choice, look into applying early decision, it always helps.</p>
<p>As far as UVa goes, I’d recommend visiting the school and taking a tour of the grounds. It’s definitely worth a look for someone looking for a top tier undergrad business program and for a southern-ish school.</p>
<p>I’d also look into Michigan, NYU, and MIT (I think I’ve heard they have good accounting) if your very serious on finance. All of these have stronger reputations that UNC and McCombs for business.</p>
<p>I will be visiting Penn, UVa, UT, and UNC this summer, so after that, I think it will be a little more clear about where I want to go.</p>
<p>As for UM, NYU, and MIT, I don’t know if I would really enjoy it at those place because of the weather and extremely high competition at MIT. I know about Penn’s weather, and I know the competition is very high, but I don’t know if I can turn down going to Wharton, if I get in. I also have family there, so that kind of helps. I’m going to apply to MIT, though, just to see if I get in. </p>
<p>Also, I always have Ole Miss and Alabama to fall back on as both of those schools are well respected in accounting.</p>
<p>What are my chances at Washington University in St. Louis? Is it true the give a lot of scholarship money?</p>
