<h2>assistant teacher: july 2003-march 2004</h2>

<p>Schools considering:
CUNYs, CUNY Honors (for Baruch), SUNY Binghamton, NYU (maybe Stern, still not sure if i have a chance), BostonU (school of management), BostonC (Carroll), Columbia, Cornell, UPenn, Fordham, Syracuse</p>

<p>I think most of these are reaches for me... I'm probably going to major in something business-related (accounting, finance, or economics) because I'm hoping to get into IBanking afterwards.
Any schools you think would be macthes that are good for business? Or any schools that would be matches period? (i'm also thinking about majoring in history).
I want to stay in the northeast, prefer private schools. As for big/small, suburban/city, i really don't have a preference.</p>

<p>Because you're Hispanic, your reaches are probably matches</p>

<p>my chances might be better than they would be if i weren't hispanic, but i'd still say most of the schools are reaches.</p>

<p>Relax. You have plenty of safeties and matches on you list. Try to decide where you really want to go and concentrate your efforts on those schools. Contact the departments and make some visits.</p>
