<p>wanna major in business.
suggestions please</p>
<p>o yeah, challenging courseload with pretty much all honors and 2 aps (out of 7)</p>
<p>Indiana University-Bloomington
Purdue University
Michigan State</p>
<p>All three are top business schools, And I feel you have a really good chance at all of them.</p>
<p>Then a reach would be, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign.</p>
<p>The rank is going to hurt you.
I don't exactly know if all those volunteering hours are going to help.
BC, babson, and holy cross would all be reaches.
Trinity may be a match I don't know. Try babson though... I live close to the college and its pretty nice, an excellent business school.</p>
<p>Are you wanting to go up east? Or stay in the midwest?</p>
<p>Holy Cross is a great school and has an excellent classics major. HC also has very strong national alumni network.</p>
<p>i wanna go up east...what are my chances at babson?</p>
<p>ok...and for another thing, my school's ranking system is majorly f***** up! They weight honors as only 1.2! Therefore, all the honors I have taken have barely given me a boast at all. Subsequently, all the retards who are getting a 4.0 bc of their study halls & home ec classes have a much better rank than me! errr...is there anything I can do?</p>
<p>anyone please help me!</p>
<p>It's not all about GPA. When they see you with your 3.0 taking the major core classes, making a B average. Then some kid with a 4.0 taking classes like study hall, and weight lifting, they will obvioulsy take you.</p>
<p>Obviously? are you sure about that? Why the northeast? You are definitely not Ivy League. (Does that sound insulting? It's not) Take a crack at the SAT. BC is a maybe because a 3.0 is bad. 27 out of a possible 36? I don't know anything about the ACT.</p>
<p>SAT scores?</p>
<p>I have friends in the NE (harvard, bc, etc.) thus boston is ideal. Taking the SAT in December..Anyone else?</p>
<p>Babon is a slight reach due to your rank. Also Babson wants people with strong EC's and yours are ok, but nothing that sticks out. It appears that your in a ton of clubs, but don't really hold any positions, or done any thing worth while for that club. But being that you have a 27 on the act, that's pretty good for that school. I'd say it's worth giving a look at. Also try Northeastern, that's a pretty good school, and you should get into that. </p>
<p>I'd reccomend that if you want to go to Babson that much, apply ED. If you don't get in try a school like Northeastern, or maybe St.Lawrence University.</p>
