<p>My name is Tommy Adams and I am looking to go into business. Obviously I'm going to apply to the best schools such as UPENN, but I am looking to find good match colleges and safety colleges. I obviously don't want to be left with no school. My weakest point in my opinion are my test scores which I intend to raise. My four top choices are
1. UPENN
2. Georgetown
3. NYU
4. UVA (posted about this school earlier today)</p>
<p>I know that the first two are likely high reaches, but I'm not sure about the other two. Here are the key things I'd include in an application:
31 ACT (10 writing) 33 Grammar 33 Math 30 Reading 28 Science
2040 SAT
680 Math II (will be taking two more subject tests in September)
3.93 unweighted GPA 5.48 weighted
Class rank: #1 out of 713
In debate for four years, president this year.
Member of SHAPE club, officer for two years.
Goalie of Lacrosse team
Admitted into NHS
AP Scholar award and AP scholar with distinction award
Won the Harvard Book Award
At the start of this school year I am starting a project through SHAPE that will collect items to send to troops in Afghanistan. (through Operation Shoebox)
Currently interning at FLORIDA MEDICAL Space as a Marketing Intern (started as summer internship, but will continue into school year). Responsible for designing and sending email blasts which have lead to several inquisitions by doctors and realtors on property.
Over 200 service hours (various different activities)
By the end of Senior year I will have taken almost all AP classes in the school (except Bio, art, and music) as well as several online. I can confidently say I have had the most challenging schedule in my school.</p>
<p>I'm curious to know if NYU is a match or not.. Also, any ideas for safety colleges (good business school) would be greatly appreciated. I don't want to have too big of a head and apply to all risky schools. :p
Thanks to anyone willing to help! Again I do plan on raising my scores!</p>
