Just looking for some feedback (no Haters, no people complaining about affirmative action because i worked damn hard for everything i have)
Thanks</p>
<p>Bump
Give Me some honest feedback</p>
<p>i think u will too..</p>
<p>It's really difficult to rate your chances at a lot of these schools.</p>
<p>Here's what I can tell you. Your UW GPA is low for most of these schools, but the W GPA is good, your SAT scores are good, you've obviously taken the toughest courses offered, and you have good ECs (extracurriculars). </p>
<p>My guess is your chances as a URM (under represented minority) are approximately as follows:</p>
<p>Columbia--hard reach (this school has no undergraduate business program, so I'm ranking your chances as a international government or economics major)
Penn--hard reach, (would be a reach, except Wharton is the toughest business school in the country to get into)
Georgetown--slight reach
NYU--slight reach (would be a match, but it is a slight reach because you are applying to NYU Stern, which is their toughest school to get into)
Emory--match to slight reach
Fordham--match
GWU--match
DePaul--safe match
Loyola College of Maryland--safety</p>
<p>Because you want to go into International Business, I would consider NYU for using your ED (early decision) option. Three reasons--they have a great International Business program, they have a good study abroad option, and about half the admitted class comes from out-of-state. Only problem is they are super-expensive, give very little financial aid, and get more apps than any other private university in the country.</p>
<p>If NYU as a first choice doesn't appeal to you or if financial aid is a concern (and it usually is for everybody), the best schools on this list are Georgetown and Fordham--which give grants for about 2/3rds to 3/4th of their total cost.</p>
<p>Good luck.</p>
<p>thats very good feedback thanks Calcruzer</p>
<p>yeah NYU's gonna be tricky this fall. Stern's acceptance rate is like..8%:(</p>
<p>I thought you wanted to go to MIT? (by the way, their b-school's outstanding)</p>
<p>know that was a while ago when i wanted to do engineering then i really changed my mind and realized that id enjoy business more. yeah stern will be really hard to get into.</p>
