Looking for insight on top schools to apply to,,,

<p>Strongly considering UNC, Elon, Bryant, Bentley, Miami of Ohio, Miami, and Syracuse for a business/finance major.</p>

<p>Any thoughts on these schools or others in consideration such as Richmond, Lehigh, or Lafayette?</p>

<p>All help is greatly appreciated</p>

<p>Please provide any insight on these universities and their business schools or any others you may reccomed</p>

<p>Thank you</p>

<p>Financial safety?
SUNY Binghamton or your state U?
Indiana?</p>

<p>^^
not likely going to get much/anything from Indiana as an OOS student with a 1300.</p>

<p>Not likely going to get any merit from UNC, Miami, Miami U, or Syracuse</p>

<p>Yes, it will have a negative affect if you want a good bit of merit to really bring down cost. Your CR score is a mismatch with your M score. It makes your M+C an equivalent of an ACT 29.</p>

<p>How much will your family pay? </p>

<p>How much merit do you need? How much do you need your net cost to be?</p>

<p>If you need a decent amount of merit, you need another list. </p>

<p>What are your financial safety schools (schools that you know for sure that you have all costs covered)?</p>

<p>My son was accepted to Lafayette with extremely similar SAT scores (actually a little more mismatched between the math and the critical reading score), but he was not offered any merit aid. We also don’t qualify for need based aid. His GPA was not as high though as yours. Nor were his extracurriculars as compelling. However, his high school is a very strong preparatory program so he did have that aspect. He was waitlisted at Lehigh. Just one small data point, but hope it helps. It’s tough with the disparate Math and Critical Reading scores. My son applied to roughly fifteen colleges, and his acceptances were a little all over the map. Good luck with it all!! </p>

<p>where did he apply? What major? @amarylandmom‌ </p>

<p>Bentley University
University of Delaware
Ithaca College</p>

<p>I will private message you.</p>
