<p>Major: </p>

<p>I'm stuck between applying to Wharton so that I can take Marketing but then again I'm considering Political Science. I might just double major, but in the case of UPenn, my choice school, I'll apply to Wharton and then get a dual-degree in Political Science (if I get in, that is).</p>

<p>I'm Thinking of Applying to These Schools (What do you think?):</p>

<p>Georgetown U
Montclair SU
New York U
Rutgers NB/Pscataway
U Arizona
U Michigan
U Pennsylvania
Villanova U </p>

<p>Tell me my chances...please!!</p>

<p>You are already a decent candidate anyways. I'd say with your URM status, you have a good shot at all those schools.</p>

3

<p>Thanks, anymore input, from anybody else??</p>

4

<p>Good Chance. I think you should apply to little better schools (then Rutgers and Montclair). You have great stats to get into couple of IVIES.</p>

5

<p>thanks, anything else...<em>bump</em></p>

6

<p>Find some more reaches to apply to. Aim higher!</p>

7

<p>you definitely have a decent shot at Penn</p>

8

<p>yeah u have a good shot @ Penn but like sfgiants said, make sure to look for some more reaches, u definately have the potential. I recommend UC Berkley and/or MIT for ungergrad business, but obviously choose what school fits right for you. Good luck!</p>
