<p>I'm currently a rising senior in high school and I am aiming towards majoring in business. So far, I have interest in UVA, UNC, MICH, PSU, NYU, and Villanova.</p>
<p>I have noticed that most, if not all, of these universities have GPA requirements for their business majors. UVA, UNC, and Mich have separate admissions into their business schools as well.</p>
<p>I'm getting a bit nervous because I don't know if it is worth it to attend one of these schools (granted I am accepted) if I am not guaranteed access to the major of my choice. If I spend a year or two at one of these schools and then I am denied access to the business school/business major of my choice, what can I do besides changing my field of interest? I feel like it would be stupid to spend a lot of money and effort just to be denied admittance into the major i want.</p>
<p>You usually can’t get into the Business School until your junior year anyway. What they take is your undergrad gpa and pre-business gpa if your school of choice has pre-major requirements, which I’m sure almost all of them do. Keep your grades up, I made that mistake because I was at a junior college and wasn’t exactly aware of that until I talked to counselors about transferring at CSU Sacramento. My gpa is currently sitting below the cutoff point so I’m going to have to change my major because I screwed up. </p>
<p>So the best advice I can give you, work your ass off your first 2 years and try to maintain a 3.0 at least, assuming you can’t get admitted into the Business school until your junior year. Keep it simple with your general ed. classes; that is what screwed me over the most, my science classes when I was always bad at science.</p>
<p>What is your hs gpa and ACT/SAT? There are excellent schools that will admit you directly to the business program as a freshman, thus relieving you of much, much stress. UMich is excellent, but very difficult to get into as an entering freshman. Kelley School of Business at IU is also excellent, especially for accounting and finance, but much easier to get into, with something like 900 direct admit freshmen each year. Here are the requirements for Kelley, as well as info on IU’s automatic scholarships.</p>
<p>My SAT scores are 1350/1600, 1950/2400, but I’m taking them again and should get around 2100.</p>
<p>Also my class rank is 3/252, so that’s top 1 or 2%, but there’s only like 30 or so students who get persuade admission every year so I don’t think I have a chance at that. Plus being in CT, I’m out of state for all of the colleges</p>
<p>unc has an assured admissions program for their b-school and you’re stats look pretty decent so you might get into that. Also depends if you’re instate or out of state. And if you don’t get into the assured admissions program, you can still get in junior year</p>
<p>You would definitely be directly admitted to Kelley School of Business with those stats, along with an automatic scholarship of nine thousand per year, and probably get into Hutton Honors College, too. You wouldn’t have to retake SAT. You would be among about 900 direct admits at Kelley, not thirty. Cost of attendance would be about thirty thousand a year with the scholarship, which is a bargain if you can get into some of Kelley’s elite programs like the Investment Banking Workshop.
