I need some help guys...COLLEGES WHICH TO PICK?

<p>Please Chance Confused Girl? </p>

<hr>

<p>Hi, I'm just really nervous because I'm not sure whether I'm applying to too many schools that are out of my reach, etc. </p>

<p>I also want to know whether it would be more beneficial for me to apply undecided to some of the reach colleges, because I want to double major in business and history, and I know a lot of the colleges I chose have strong (aka competitive) business programs. </p>

<p>Please help me? I really am confused...and nervous... thnx</p>

<p>By the way: what schools do you guys think would be a good fit for me?</p>

Posts: 13 Sorry: Also, won coaches award in golf (2007) and am a national semi finalist. I should be an AP Scholar thing with my stats (i think?) but I assume I'm supposed to get something in the mail soon?</p>

<p>if you're looking into business check out claremont mckenna. they're well known for business/economics.</p>

<p>i thought u have to directly apply to NYU's business school Stern, so whats the point declaring your major as "undecided" when you get accepted/rejected by Stern in the first place? i think this applies to many other schools as well, such as carnegie mellon.</p>
