<p>I am going into my senior year. My SAT is a 2090 (hoping to raise to 2200), but my GPA weighted is around a 3.85. I have tons of solid EC's and recs. I was wondering what are considered some of the top finance schools and what finance schools can you recommend for a student like me. I have the ability, its just I found HS boring and ridiculous.</p>
<p>Thanks CC</p>
<p>bump....anyone?</p>
<p>yes. any finance schools. i would like to study finance too.</p>
<p>UPenn Wharton or Indiana University Kelley two locations.</p>
<p>I believe NYU Stern has a Finance major. UPenn Wharton has a concentration in Finance but it's pretty much the same as majoring in Finance I think.</p>

<p>You should be able to get into indiana, boston, maryland, maybe Austin. But NYU stern is a reach. You might be able to get into other nyu schools though</p>
<p>Is there finance in undergraduate? Or I think you can have a concentration in it with Business administration. I 'll be studying Economics and Mathematics in my undergraduate. Are the majors good preparation for a grad school if I want to study fianace.</p>
<p>Yes, all those schools listed have finance as an undergraduate degree. However, many top schools don't have B-Schools, don't reward UG Business degrees, and therefore don't have finance as a major.</p>
<p>ew, indiana</p>
<p>You're guarenteed admission to Kelley. If you have a 3.5 and 1270, you're in, period.</p>
<p>eh.. guaranteed admission just screams mediocrity</p>
<p>Well Kelley is pretty good. It should be given more credit than mediocre.</p>
<p>I 'll be studying Economics and Mathematics in my undergraduate. Are the majors good preparation for a grad school if I want to study fianace.</p>
<p>you are doing a dual degree? Two departments?</p>
<p>Yes, those are good for finance. Take courses such as microeconomics, calculus, international business, and corporate finance.</p>
<p>grad school as in MBA of PhD in finance? which are you doing?</p>
<p>You are now at Bates? Is that the fact?</p>
<p>Not Bates. Elmira in New york. I am looking into MBA. Does MBA student earn a lot in US and how easily do they get jobs.</p>
