<p>I am going to be a senior in high school in ny and I want to study business in college. I have a 94 avg, 31 ACT score, 690 and 740 Sat II's, taking 5 ap's seinor and junior year, good ecs, lacrosse captain, good business internship, and lots of comunity service. What do you think my chance are for nyu stern, Michigan Ross, Cornell aem, UVA Mcyintire (legacy)? Which should I pick for ED?</p>
<p>I applied ED AEM this past year. I was rejected initially. I also applied to UVa Mcintire and I am also a legacy. Uva and Michigan offer early action which is non binding, so you can apply to both programs as well as a binding early decision program. Apply to where you like the best ED because once you submit it, it is out of your hands. Cornell admissions focus’s a lot on diversity, and also if you would be a good “fit” for the program. Depending on ethnicity and gender your test scores for Cornell (especially AEM major ~8% accepted) are a bit low so if you’re serious about Cornell I would say apply to that ED because it has the lowest acceptance rate. Here are my stats if you would like to compare:
