International student applying to good business schools in the US

<p>Hello there,</p>

<p>I am aware that this forum has loads of people who are high achievers. But if I could get some honest, candid and truthful replies as well as replies which are helpful and informative, I would be grateful.</p>

<p>I am an international student from Hong Kong but I am not Chinese. I am Indian. I wish to apply to good business schools in the US and I do not have any financial considerations to make. The only fly in the ointment really is that I just got an SAT score of 1790 on the recent october test. Due to negligence, I have not registered for the november test and therefore will be doing the december test. </p>

<p>I already have a list of universities that I want to apply to but I would really appreciate it if you all could suggest some universities to me bearing in mind that they should have good business schools. Also, I would be grateful if someone could give me some good tips for the SAT. Thanks for your time.</p>

<p>Oh also, here is a list of universities I was considering… although unless my scores increase, my chances of getting in seem bleak for some of them:</p>

<p>New York University
University of Virginia
University of Michigan
University of Texas at Austin
Indiana University Bloomington
Miami University: Oxford</p>

<p>No one wants to answer?</p>

<p>You can’t expect me to tell you much when you haven’t even given us your SAT breakdown score as well as your subject scores, let alone your EC’s and IB grade (since you’re international?)</p>

<p>If you had decent EC’s and those sat scores, NYU, UV would be very high reaches for you. UM seems to be a high teach too, but bear in mind that admissions for Michigan is extremely unstable meaning that chances are random, so I would definitely apply even if your December score doesn’t change that much. Get that score up to 2000+, then you’ll have a fighting chance in the admissions pool for NYU and UV.</p>

<p>The rest are matches for you - none of them can be safeties yet.</p>

<p>I would consider UC Santa Cruz - its a high match with your current scores, but you’ll see when you get your new scores.</p>
