<p>I was wondering if I could get any recommendations for colleges in the NE area for Math and Finance. I'm planning to take a double major, or major in one and minor in the other. I already know the top schools for math and the top schools for finance, and the schools for both, like MIT, NYU, Harvard, Colombia, etc. However, coming from a public school, the chance that I get into those schools with scholarship/financial aid is slim at best, so what are some good colleges for math and finance that are easier to get into? </p>
<p>Some information about me:
As of first semester of junior year in highschool.</p>
<p>Rank: 3
Weighted GPA: 5.025 (5 point scale, should be higher by application time from taking more APs)</p>
<p>SAT Reasoning I (First time taken without studying, I'm planning to aim for a 2200 next time)
Reading: 660
Math: 800
Writing: 600</p>
<p>For finance, Babson and Bentley come to mind.</p>
<p>For the fields that interest you, also consider a major in Economics + Math. These two majors go together well, and, at many schools that don’t offer a specific undergrad major in business, you’ll find that often their economics depts. offer courses in financial economics.</p>
<p>You also could consider an engineering field like operations research and combine this with an economics or finance major. Alternatively, you should consider statistics or applied math rather than just pure math.</p>
<p>Others: Brandeis, BU, Northeastern, U Mass, U Conn, U Vt
Outside New England: Rochester, RPI, Syracuse</p>
<p>“However, coming from a public school, the chance that I get into those schools with scholarship/financial aid is slim at best…”
Nonsense. Then get out of that provincial region to expand your options. Go to the Midwest (or even the South) where people don’t think that way. Lots of good schools and they might be less expensive. U Minnesota, DePaul, Indiana, Purdue, et al.</p>
