College List - Where to apply???

College Search & Selection
1

<p>This afternoon, I sat down to make a list of colleges I am seriously considering applying to. So far, this is what I came up with:
*Cornell U (Hotel School)
U Penn (Wharton)
NYU (Stern) *
Wake Forest (Business)
Emory U (Business)
UVA (Business)
UNC (Business)
U of Oregon (In-state)
Oregon State U (In-state)
Rice (Legacy - both parents and grandparent, Residential College System)
Yale (Financial Aid, Residential College System)
WUSTL (Business)
UC Berkeley (Business, closer to home)
U of Washington (Safety, Business)
Boston U (Business/Hotel)</p>

<p>I have listed the main reason or few reasons of applying to each school. The bolded schools are schools I am for sure applying to. My fourth school will be either U of O or OSU (advice?). </p>

<ol>
<li>Cornell</li>
<li>U Penn</li>
<li>NYU</li>
<li>U of O or OSU</li>
<li>??????</li>
<li>??????
My first choice is Cornell.
I would like to narrow the list down to six (maybe seven or eight) schools.<br>
My intended major would be business/hospitality administration...if none, then econ.
I typically like bigger schools, but would be willing to throw in an "out of the box" school. I would like to have at least one Southern school with business (emory, UVA, UNC, WUSTL or wake forest - advice on which one?).</li>
</ol>

<p>Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!</p>

<p>If Cornell is your first choice, You can take Wharton and Yale off the list, no way you’re being rejected from the hotel school and accepted at those.</p>

<p>Do you need FA? I see you put that as a strength under Yale but you don’t mention it anywhere else. That could make a big difference on some schools (like Berkeley).</p>

<p>Yes, I will be applying for FA. I don’t quite know why I mentioned that only for Yale (as other Ivies have similar FA policies). Sorry for the confusion.</p>

<p>hmom5 - I hadn’t really thought about that - great point…although I would love to attend Wharton, I would choose Hotel School first. I will reconsider both those options.</p>

<p>Thanks! Any other advice would be great!</p>
