<p>Go to your school guidance office- they will have a list of schools on rolling admissions. Talk to your guidance counselor and pick a couple of these that you like.</p>
<p>Your scores are just way too low. I don't know anything about the schools you applied to, but you should have applied to schools that put a ton of weight on EC's.</p>
<p>Truman State University in Missouri is a great school with very well known business program. Application is free. Their recommended deadline is March 1, but you can try to contact them, and see if they still accept apps.</p>
<p>i believe that University of Pittsburgh is still taking apps, and it doesn't take long to finish the app.</p>
<p>"BU is a large school and I think the adcoms did not carefully peruse your ECs."</p>
<p>i think this was a great point. personally, i am very impressed that ur business has handled HALF A MILLION dollars. for a high school student thats pretty damn amazing. and if you could do that in high school, think of what you can do later. if you cant find a good rolling school, i think taking a gap year would be ur best bet. i mean, if youve ever watched the apprentice you know how success is possible even without college at all, if you have the right business skills.</p>

<p>find another university QUICK. I have to be honest- those stats are not above avg for BU, not above avg for babson either. with your GPA and your SAT scores the only chance you have on that list is for Pepperdine. Hey, try a third-tier school and transfer. And when applying to transfer schools, have safeties more in your reach.</p>
<p>dont worry, at least you'll get into pepperdine. they take everyone. i dont know why BU was your safety school. its pretty difficult to get into. never heard of babson.</p>
<p>To Everyone:
Thanks for the overwhelming input and support. So here is the whole story. I was planning to go to school in California my whole life until last summer when I visited Boston. Loved the city so I decided to go to college there. I did all my interviews and tours around November 2004 and I recieved a lot of postive comments from all the schools. I chose BU and Babson as my safetys because I really believed that my business would be enough of a hook to get in easily. My view on how strong my application was most likely skewed because of the advice I've gotten from my mentors (various businesspeople, and a few of my venture capitalist). They were overly optimistic of my chances, and I believed them. </p>
<p>I didn't apply to any schools inside of California exept Pepperdine because I assumed I could get into a school in Boston. Reality has set in, and I'm really disappointed. I'm hoping to appeal the decisions and apply to a few more schools w/ rolling admissions (ASU, Perdue, etc). It looks like I will have to transfer after a year, which is a bummer.</p>
<p>Here is the biggest bummer...Expecting to go to school in Boston, my parents co-signed a morgage on a condo in Brookline. It looks like I'm going to have to either sell that or rent it out. </p>
<p>If you guys can provide any input to the appeals process or any schools that are still accepting admissions, I would be truely grateful.</p>
<p>Also I forgot to mention that our Guidance Counselor is a joke. Half the time he isn't in his office and the other half he is pushing us to go to a UC or CalState. I had to be very proactive in my college search... I did all the research myself, found all the applications, and arrange the interview/tours. I don't think he will be much help.</p>
<p>I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU PUT BU AS A SAFETY. You have to be well above avg to consider it a safety. Admissions have been quite crazy these last couple of years. It's a lot harder and not everyone gets in who is qualified. I think you may have a chance at Pepperdine though. It's not as hard as Harvard, so don't lose hope.</p>
<p>Sorry if that was harsh ^^. I'm just a freak out! I was above the avg for UCLA and thought I had NO CHANCE of getting in. Don't lose hope for other schools. I think you can still get ito Pepperdine or NYU. Pepperdine's averages aren't so bad and I think you have a good chance.</p>
<p>If your parents bought a condo in Boston, why not check into U Mass-Boston. They still might be taking applications, and I imagine it would be a school that you could get into.</p>
<p>There are many schools in and around the Boston area. I imagine that some may be taking applications still, and may also have business programs.</p>
<p>I would say you have a decent shot at Pepperdine. I would second SBMom's advice about talking to your guidance counselor and seeing whether he/she could call Pepperdine and get any sense of how you might fare there. However, looking at the remaining schools on your list, I would suggest that maybe it would be wise to send in a "just in case" late app to at least one more school. </p>
<p>One that might work for you is The University of Denver. The deadline for applying RD to U of Denver has passed BUT they say on their web site that they will still accept late applications. They have a very solid business program. I would have your school guidance counselor call them and see what your chances would be as a late admit. A few other schools with strong business programs that are either rolling admissions or might still consider taking an application include The University of Redlands, Arizona State U, Qunnipiac (CT), Seattle U, University of Portland, the University of San Francisco. Another option would be to look at applying to the Cal States for the Winter term --- <a href="http://www.calstate.edu%5B/url%5D">www.calstate.edu</a> --- to check on deadlines.</p>
<p>The website that Jamimom was referring to is <a href="http://www.nacac.com%5B/url%5D">www.nacac.com</a>, the national association of college admissions counselors. They post a list every year after May 15 or so of schools that still have openings to fill for next year. Some good schools are on that list every year but most of the schools are typically not in the midwest so you may have to keep your mind open about schools in other parts of the country.</p>
<p>That is too bad. You list of reach/match/safety should ahve been almost entirely focused on your stats. The business is a hook which may or may not work depending on how your overall package is presented.</p>
<p>I checked for you. The following cal states with business administration programs are still taking applications for the Fall 2005 semester:
CSU Monterrey Bay
CSU San Bernadino
Humboldt State
CSU Stanislaus</p>
<p>Of these, I particularly like Monterrey Bay for its unique curriculum approach and Humboldt state for its small classes and focus on undergrad education.</p>
<p>U of Arizona (Tucson) has an April 1 deadline for applications. A nephew of mine majored in business there and has done very well.</p>
<p>Two other suggestions as well:
Oregon State University (has a great business program) is still accepting applications for the fall. However, you can no longer apply for financial aid/scholarships at this point.</p>
<p>Southern Oregon University is also still accepting applications.</p>
<p>A LOT of LAC's have Rolling Admissions. New College of Florida and St. John's College are two I know of and they are both great schools that send a lot of people to top law/graduate schools.</p>
<p>Two other suggestions: Curry College, just south of Boston, is taking applications until April 1. And, the University of Mass. at Lowell is also still taking applications - not quite Boston but at least MAss.</p>
