College Search & Selection

<p>Hi, I am pretty much like every other student in America is right now. I am worred that perhaps.. in Feb.. I would get a rejection letter from all the colleges I am applying to. I was wondering if you could offer your expert advice and tell me what other matches/safeties I should look into. I am primarily interested in business, such as Finance as my major, and perhaps a minor in Infomation Systems or Econ. Thanks for your help.</p>

<p>You are not really competive for your reaches. Should be OK at your safeties. UVA I am not sure about. Someone with much better statistics than you have posted that he did not get in ED, and was also in-state. It seems as if you only want to pay for a private school if it is a top school. If so, maybe you should apply to a few more state schools-George Mason, etc.</p>

<p>Your 1340 CR+Q is within the midrange at all of your reaches, so I think they are reasonable reaches. Your 720 math SAT II should help. Five reaches is a good number. Two safeties is a good number. I think you need one or two more matches like Boston C, Georgetown, Wake Forest, U Maryland CP.</p>
