Hello. I have already found a great list of reaches and safeties but I am struggling to find matches.
Quick Info:
3.5 UW/ 3.9 W
ACT: 29 (30 superscore)
Interested in business
Location: Northeast, Atlantic and possibly Midwest
No preference for size
Lehigh, Macalester, Lafayette.
Lehigh, Bucknell, Loyola, Fordham, Elon, Lafayette and Villanova.
The business schools are crowded with applications. You could go to a better school as an Economics major than a business major and have the same job prospects.
lafayette, muhlenberg college, bradley university
@BatesParents2019 I do not know too much about economics and what the major entails. However, I am taking AP economics next year. On the contrary, I know that I enjoy the major concentrations of business school, which is why I focus more on these. If I were to learn more about economics and what it’s like, I may find it more interesting. Therefore, I will also consider schools without business schools but strong economic programs as well.
What are your matches and safeties? If we knew, it would give us more idea about what your selection criteria are and how to recommend reasonable matches. And I assume money is no object, right?
Money is not a concern. My reaches included BC, University of Richmond, and Northeastern. Some of my safeties include UCONN (in-state) and Elon University. There are schools that I do not know whether to consider safeties or not like Penn State or Miami (OH).
If you plan on staying in the Northeast, Richmond is not a great choice but it is a very good school with a great atmosphere. There are very few alumni in the Northeast.
You would be much better off with Lehigh, Bucknell, Fordham and Holy Cross. Holy Cross has a capped Finance & Accounting major that I hear is amazing, plus you have that school’s stellar reputation. Lehigh and Bucknell graduates get excellent support from alumni.
I would not count either Elon or Penn State as safeties for the business program, although I would be surprised if you didn’t get accepted to Elon. PSU too risky as OOS for that program to view as a safety.
I would call Miami OH a solid match for you, but probably not a firm safety. Penn State is not a safety for you, especially for Business. Temple or Pace would be safeties, and both are pretty strong for Business. American is a low-match.
one more for good luck

Also, UCONN is not a safety with those scores. It has gotten much more selective in the last few years. They have been admitting more OOS and fewer in-state because OOS adds more revenue.
