Thank you!!
Can you afford all the schools on your list?
@123Mom456 Yes, cost isn’t a problem, and i’ll apply for scholarships as well. Thanks for the reply! Do you have any suggestions?
Most of your OOS will be reaches and are expensive but you have some IS safeties so it’s worth trying if you want. They are just selective schools that don’t give a lot of merit. You would probably be an average applicant there. Some other good business schools would be Kelley at Indiana and Ross at Michigan. I would caution you to research which schools are direct admit to the Business Schools and which ones you would have to apply to later which could mean you get in the school but not the business program. (UVA for example.)
I think your list is balanced. Good luck!
Although I am an international student and I do not really have a good idea of how it works, I am pretty much sure that you can easily get a spot at any UT institution due to the fact that you are a resident of TX who has very good academic standing. Speaking of the rest of the schools mentioned, I do not have a clue about your chances. Nonetheless, since you have taken a rigorous course load, I believe you have a great chance to get into these schools as well.
BTW, thank you for posting UTD. Now I have another college I can apply to.
@123Mom456 Thank you! I didn’t know there were non-direct admits.
@Tagirix Ahaha you’re welcome! And yes there’s a policy where the top 7% can get into UT but may not get into the major they want.
