Courseload of almost all honors/AP

Park district basketball
Was also named an AP Scholar with Honor

Here is my list so far:
UIUC
Indiana
UNC
Notre Dame
USC
Alabama (accepted)
Miami OH

I was wondering what some other good schools for business would be that I should apply to. I am pretty open about moving anywhere across the country, and I would prefer a medium or large school. My parents are only able to pay for 20-25k of tuition per year, so the rest would have to be thru loans. I think I would qualify for need based aid at a lot of private schools, and maybe merit aid at others? I appreciate any feedback.

Make sure you apply to USC before December 1 to be eligible for merit aid.

3

Did you run the net price calculator for each school on your list?

@happy1 Yes, I ran each and I have an idea about how much each will cost. @bouders I already applied to all of them, but thanks anyways

Lots of good info on undergrad bus schools can be found here - http://poetsandquantsforundergrads.com/category/rankings/

Your list looks good especially with the Alabama admit in hand. If you want to add to the list you might consider Boston College, UMaryland, and/or Villanova, Cornell’s Dyson School (as a reach) if the finances look like they will work out.

I was thinking about cornell, but I don’t know if I really have a chance.

Ohio State has a good business program, comparable or at most only a shade below most of the schools in your list. It also has good aid for out-of-state students (your ACT score is really good for that, hopefully you are in top 20% of your class).

You might want to take a look at the University of Richmond.

I definitely agree with applying to the University of Richmond. Great business school and the University gives a lot of merit scholarships. Just make sure to apply before December 1st. Richmond also has very good financial aid as well.
