<p>Yeah.. so my original plan was to apply early action to a few schools as a safety, then go crazy over regular decision.. but I cant even compile a coherent list of schools..</p>
<p>I dont know what to declare my major as.... i'm interested in business and languages.. or maybe science.. i'm not sure. I will have taken all of the most advanced science courses at my school by graduation (chem AP this year, bio and physics ap last year). i'm taking economics ap this year, i took spanish ap last year and they couldnt offer me a higher level spanish class, so i'm taking a lower level spanish class (4 honors) and im taking french 1 advanced (without any experience in french at all). i think if i major in business, ill minor in languages too... im also fluent in chinese.</p>
<p>i plan on applying to BC, Georgetown, and Northeastern under early action. My school generally sends ~50 kids to BC every year and ~10 kids to georgetown.. ~80+ kids to northeastern..</p>
<p>my plan is to come out of college fluent in 5 languages.
1-chinese (mandarin/cantonese)
2-english
3-spanish
4-french
5-portuguese</p>
<p>any ideas on what schools i should apply to? BC/georgetown/northeastern are mainly safeties... hopefully. northeastern is definately one. bc is somewhat, and georgetown is just for fun.</p>
<p>i wanna know what schools have strong business/language programs.. any ideas?</p>
<p>There aren't very many colleges that are better and/or tougher to get into than Georgetown and BC that are, are in the Northeast, have business, and are large enough to have a wide variety of languages. Perhaps only the U of Pennsylvania would meet those criteria. If you want to look outside the Northeast, then you have places like Michigan, Virginia, Notre Dame, Wisconsin, and Berkeley. Indiana would be good too. I'm not sure what the array of languages are at MIT and Carnegie Mellon, but they are certainly good in business.</p>

<p>Don't be so sure, don't bank on Northeastern. Last year their acceptance was 40%. And they rejected some with good stats (perhaps assuming that those kids won't matriculate at Northeastern anyway).<br>
As a general rule, your safeties are state univs because they go by GPA and test scores for the most part. Private univs throw considerations into the mix.</p>
<p>Hmmmm. Business, languages, and preferrably easier to get into than Georgetown, Northwestern et al. </p>
<p>Indiana University-Bloomington
U of South Carolina-Columbia (especially for international business)
U of Washington (not THAT easier to get into)
Penn State University
Washington and Lee University
Emory University</p>
<p>im applying to middlebury regular decision. im pretty confident on BC and northeastern. no one over a 3.3 has been denied from my school in the past 2 years. average gpa acceptance for georgetown from my school is 4.0 weighted. usually people around 3.5-4.3's get in from our school, just not many apply.</p>
<p>I don't know if you've looked at the BC board lately, but there were plenty of people with great credentials who didn't get in this year. They got over 26,000 applications, the acceptance rate was below 30%, and it seems to get significantly harder to get into every year.</p>
<p>I'm sorry to pile on here, but Georgetown/BC are never really safeties, especially for someone who misspells "definitely". I'm sure you are a very bright kid vision and for your interests they both sound like great choices. not knowing your stats im not sure what to suggest, but maybe Syracuse, Rochester, GW, Richmond as safeties?</p>
