Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>I'm a white male from southern california. 4.1 weighted GPA, FULL AP/IB Courseload and FULL DIPLOMA IB CANDIDATE, I have a 2090 SAT (720cr, 650 math, 720 writing), 610 math sat2, 630 apush, 3 years basketball, 2 years ASB leadership, Boys State Attendee etc.</p>

<p>I am having major trouble picking my schools to apply this year due to my stats, im nto sure what im qualified for. Here is final list of schools i will be applying to that I have come up with, but im not sure if its full of unwise choices. I want to major in business management/administration or economics.</p>

<p>Privates ---> Syracuse, NYU, Carnegie Mellon, Boston University, Cornell, USC, Miami U</p>

<p>UC's-----> UCLA, UC Irvine, UC Riverside</p>

<p>Out of State State Schools ----> UNC Chapel Hill, U of Virginia, Illinois Urbana Champaign</p>

<p>How does this look? Am I likely to get accepted to any of these schools, which ones are worth it (cornell is still like a major reach but im going to do it anyway) I really want to get into syracuse, boston, or illinois urbana champaign. ANY ADVICE</p>

<p>Thanks so much, i really am in a tight spot and college apps are due soon!</p>

<p>gpa/course load?</p>

<p>the GPA is now given, i fixed it, thanks!</p>

<p>Carnegie Melon, Boston and Cornell - you sound good for those, so give it a try. Don't forget the essays
Chapell hill - hard for out of state..
Rest - looks like 'in'.</p>

5

<p>any other advice, i have gotten different answers from others, because i have a low GPA, people have said i cant get into many of these. anyone else with opinions</p>

<p>are the EC's you listed all you will have on your application? if you did anything else, mentioning it here would make it easier for us to chance you.</p>

<p>but if that's it for your ECs, i'd say these schools are tough for you:
NYU, Carnegie Mellon, Cornell, USC, UCLA, UNC Chapel Hill, U of Virginia</p>

<p>but you have a strong shot at Syracuse, UIUC, and the others.</p>

<p>to be blunt, most of those schools are reaches based on what you gave us. 7 reaches, 2 matches, 3 safeties isn't always the best way to go. if i were you, i'd look at some more matches. Indiana has a pretty good business school.</p>
