<p>I'd like to get to attend college to get a Management and Business or Economics degree. I'd like to go to NYU, or UCB, as I've researched and seen that they have good Economics and Business departments. I'm still a junior and this is my curriculum atm (btw, I'm an international student so I don't have SAT or ACT scores yet).</p>
<p>2013 - Sophomore Year
I got an overall score of 81% in the year, which would translate to a 3,2 GPA (not sure if that's correct)
Class Vice-President
Theather Club</p>
<p>2014 - Junior Year
I got a score of 87% (so far), which would be a more or less 3,5 GPA (also not sure sorry)
Member of Senior Trip Committee
Some (not finished yet) hours of voluntary work
Also i'll be Senior Class President next year.</p>
<p>I'm also open to suggestions and advice, thank you in advance. </p>
<p>Without test scores, it’s hard to say what your chances are.</p>
<p>The UCs have a set formula for calculating GPAs. If you are not a California resident, you need a UC-weighted GPA of at least 3.4 (it’s 3.0 for CA residents) to be eligible for admission to any of the campuses. The most elite UCs typically admit students with UC-weighted GPAs of over 4.0. NYU’s Stern School of Business is extremely competitive. Your grades look a little low, but your school might be very tough. It’s impossible to predict your chances without test scores and some idea of your high school curriculum. If you were in an International Baccalaureate program, for instance, your weighted GPA might be much higher than 80-85 (or a “B”).I’d recommend looking at some other state universities, that are less selective than the UCs, but you might be competitive at UC Irvine, UC Santa Cruz, or even UC Davis, if you test well and your courses are weighted generously. My son only had an unweighted GPA of 3.3-3.4, but his UC-weighted GPA was over 4.0. He got into UC San Diego and UC Davis, but not Berkeley (from out-of-state). Some of their undergraduate business schools are more difficult to get into, though. If you want an urban school, and money is not a concern, look at Pace in NYC or DePaul in Chicago. They are not as selective, and both offer access to local business communities. Also, Southern Methodist University (SMU) in Dallas, Temple in Philadelphia, Drexel in Philadelphia, American in Washington, DC, Duquesne in Pittsburgh, Northeastern in Boston, have varying levels of selectivity and are worth exploring. </p>
<p>Its hard to judge with you because I don’t know how hard your schedule is. However, assuming your schedule isn’t entirely full of AP’s and IB’s it is really low. Even for UW that is low. However im guessing that that is your UW GPA. If you’re Weighted GPA is over 4.3 you should be fine for Stern and UCB. I know a lot of people who made UCB with less Ec’s than you that got into UCB for econ. Just make sure you try to improve your EC’s a bit more (with probably an internship, just something outside of school that is more unique) and to get your test scores into the safety zone (2200+ and 34+). If your UW GPA doesn’t crack 4 and your W GPA doesn’t crack 3.5 average with your current EC then UCB and Stern are both high reaches. </p>
