Applying to College
1

<p>Hey everyone, </p>

<p>I am an undergraduate student who has applied/is applying to about 10-12 schools. Based on info/stats given below, I was wondering if I could get thoughts and feedback on admission chances. I am freaking out about what is going to happen!!!!</p>

<p>So far, I applied to Cornell (ED to Applied Economics and Management Major), Villanova (EA to School of Business), Boston College (RD to Carroll School of Management), The College of New Jersey (RD). </p>

<p>Currently, I am in the process of applying Regular Decision to University of Michigan, Boston University, UNC Chapel Hill (Kenan Flagler Business School), Georgetown University (McDonough School of Business), Carnegie Mellon University (Tepper School of Business), Rutgers University (School of Business), Penn State U Park (Smeal College of Business), and Babson College (Business Program). Feedback is greatly appreciated (no sugar coating please, criticism is welcome). Thank you in advance and have a happy Thanksgiving!</p>

<p>I think you’ll get into several. Cornell is unlikely because of low GPA and scores for them, BC, CMU, Georgetown and UNC will be tough.</p>
