<p>Notre Dame looks like a reasonable reach. Check the Common Data Set for more details.</p>

<p>^ Definite reach. The OP’s scores are at the 25%ile and 89% are in the top 10% of their class.</p>

<p>Good scores. You are probably good enough to look at private schools over the state system. Here is a good list of schools that will cover reaches and safeties for you. In no particular order:</p>

<p>Tufts
BC
Georgetown
Northeastern Univ.
Villanova
NYU
John Hopkins
George Washington
Northwestern
ND
Lehigh</p>

<p>Holy Cross and Notre Dame have 2 of the stronger alumni networks good for internships and job placement in the business community. Both schools do very well in Payscale data about alumni income after graduation.</p>

13

<p>I would also suggest IU. I’ve heard a lot of great things about the Kelly School of Business (IU’s business college).</p>

14

<p>ya indiana seems to hav a great b school, i see ND listed twice here but i mean is that even reasonable? i feel like it isnt, any other input? thanks!</p>

15

<p>ND is a reach, but you could give it a shot. Fall back on Boston College, Northeastern, NYU, etc. These schools will be great targets for you.</p>

<p>any other ideas???</p>
