<p>Are you in-state for Maryland? Are you white?</p>
<p>An internship sounds like a good idea. Keep up the APs, and try to aim for at least 1400 on your SATs. It's a good milestone - the difference between 1390 and 1410 is more significant than, say, 1270 and 1290.</p>
<p>And I'm sure you're sick of this, but keep up your grades!</p>
<p>Well, that always beats being white. (Like me)</p>
<p>Consider what you want to do with your life. Not that any of your colleges are by any means bad, but think about expanding your horizons; there are a lot of excellent colleges out there besides the Ivy leage and the few others often mentioned with them.</p>
<p>So first things first. What do you want to do? Or what <em>don't</em> you want to do? Identify your interests and we'll go from there.</p>
<p>well i am definitely going into marketing/advertising/ and maybe finance? no doubt about that. and yea i am not really knowledgable of all the good universities out there.. i just copied down some of the popular ones off of the site. lol i am hoping college park will be my safety so i can have a shot at some of the more competitive ones..</p>
<p>Don't write off Maryland just because it's in state. It still has a solid reputation.</p>
<p>Wharton is definitely a great choice. Pretty much any place with a good business graduate program would be a good choice, because sometimes you can either take classes there or work with some of the people there. Either way, it can't hurt to have proximity to a top graduate program.</p>
<p>Take your time and search around. Virginia (UVA) is definitely a good place to check out. Check the ratings (at various places) of different business schools. Hmm...yeah, UVA would definitely be good. That's my first recommendation. I'll let you know if I think of anything else.</p>
<p>Tufts? Wake Forest? I'm sure other people will have ideas.</p>
