<p>Hey guys. I'm just curious... who here applied for business majors?</p>
<p>What MAJOR ECs and SAT/GPA do you have?
Lastly which schools did you apply to?</p>
<p>Just want to see what the competition looks like. Lol.</p>
<p>I am actually gonna apply next year to business schools. </p>
<p>EC:
-Interned at CPA Firm
-Interned at the front office of a hotel
-Worked as a co-manager
-Treasurer of a school club
-Deca International Finalist
-Key Club Member(Editor)
-Played a sport(JV)</p>
<p>SAT: I have yet to take it, but practice tests tell me 2300+
GPA: 3.9 uw</p>
<p>Schools:
Though it is a reach, my dream school like many others who share my passions is Wharton (Don’t know if I’ll make it here). Then Stern(I think I have a good chance here). I have no interest in attending any other business school because I feel as though having a “business” degree from other schools isn’t really gonna help me find job/do what I want to do. PS: Haas and USC are great, but moving out west isn’t an option for me. If I can’t get into the two I mentioned, I hope to go to a top 20 college and study economics or something along those lines. I like U of Chicago and think I have a good shot there, and I will apply to a couple ivy’s(just cuz my scores are within their ranges).</p>
<p>How about you?</p>
<p>Major EC: Not much business related stuff (though some math related EC’s), lot of sports and music
GPA: 4.4 W, 3.8 UW
SAT: 2020
SAT II: Math II 770, US History 710, Biology E 710
APs (9-11): World History, US History, Computer Science, Calculus BC, Biology
APs (12): AP Literature, AP Government, AP Economics, AP Chemistry, AP Psychology, AP Statistics</p>
<p>I’m thinking about majoring in something related to math or business.
Applied to : UC Berkeley (Haas), USC (Marshall), NYU (Stern), Carnegie Mellon (Tepper), University of Michigan (Ross), Boston College (Carroll).</p>
<p>This is really important, don’t take what people post on here too seriously. Most people here have really amazing stats and don’t reflect the general pool of competition. Just saying.</p>
<p>Bump this post up!</p>
<p>Anymore? :P</p>
<p>I don’t think CC is very representative of the overall applicant pool. Relax and go play outside or something… Not as if knowing your competition will improve your chances of admission.</p>
<p>2200 SAT, 3.20 GPA, no business related majors except working as an office assistant in my dad’s company for a few months. My biggest ones are an art portfolio of 9 years, 150 hours of volunteering at the U of W hospital, and 10 months of working at a 5-star retirement home.</p>
<p>Applied to Boston U, NYU Stern (and regular), GWU, American U, Colorado U Boulder (Leeds), University of Washington. They’re all pretty sizeable reaches, I don’t have any backup universities. </p>
<p>Even bigger reach schools I applied to are UCSD, UC Davis, UCLA, UC Berkeley, and U Chicago.</p>
<p>I’m a junior and plan to apply to b schools next year, but here is what I have:</p>
<p>3.85(w) - but with a 4.1 junior year (upward trend)
Best single score ACT: 32, 33 super composite - taking it again in Feb plan on getting 33 or 34
Math II: 750, gonna take USH and physics at the end of the year
ECs: Lots of tennis related stuff, captain junior (and presumably) senior of high school team, All-state and all-conference, nationally ranked, placed #13 in national team tennis championships, taught tennis, and more but I don’t want to ramble. Worked one summer as a maintenance worker, one summer as a camp counselor. MUN, may have a leadership position next year. Technology club. Our school doesn’t have DECA or FBLA, but I might start a chapter at our school next year. I plan on getting some business related internship over the summer, if I can’t find one I’ll be teaching tennis.</p>
<p>Plan on applying to (the business schools of if applicable):
Penn (legacy), Georgetown (legacy), Michigan, UVa, UNC, Cornell (maybe), Emory, Villanova, Richmond and Wake Forest.</p>
<p>I’m just worried that I don’t show enough interest in business. My school is very small and does not offer many courses/clubs that are business related. I’m not sure if I’ll be able to find a summer internship either. To those of you who have internships, how did you go about getting one?</p>
<p>As a potential business major, you’re not exactly competing against the best and the brightest:</p>
<p>[The</a> Audacious Epigone: IQ estimates by intended college major via SAT scores](<a href=“http://anepigone.blogspot.com/2009/03/iq-estimates-by-intended-college-major.html]The”>http://anepigone.blogspot.com/2009/03/iq-estimates-by-intended-college-major.html)</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Yes, because no smart kids apply to places like Wharton or Ross <a href=“http://www.bus.umich.edu/Admissions/BBA/BBA_Class_Profiles_2011.pdf[/url]”>http://www.bus.umich.edu/Admissions/BBA/BBA_Class_Profiles_2011.pdf</a>. </p>
<p>For any top program, no matter what it is, the competition is going to be the toughest of the tough. I don’t really see why you made that post.</p>
<p>I agree with a poster above as CC is a bad pool to base yourself upon. People who come to CC are usually really overachieving people that really want Ivy or nothing, I doubt that everyone who is competing for b-schools have the stats of those on CC. The only b-school I can see where everyone is dirty overachievers is Wharton.
And competition outside of Stern, Berkeley, Ross, Mcintire, and Wharton isn’t the greatest…business majors aren’t “prestigious” so to speak outside these institutions, so you have a good chance into getting into a good b-school anyways.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I’ll agree with you on that one. If I didn’t have a chance of getting into a top b-school I’d pick another major.</p>
<p>Well said, dfree and drac. The table of projected IQ scores makes no sense.</p>
<p>drac and dfree speak the truth. I’ll post my stats just because the topic creator asked so nicely:</p>
<p>SAT: they’re good :)!</p>
<p>SAT II: Also good.</p>
<p>ECS: not related to business, but still good.</p>
<p>School: ED acceptance to a good school :).</p>
<p>By the way, I see that the topic creator has already discovered the way of the businessman: you’re trying to sabotage your competition ;p, aren’t you? </p>
<p>Take CC with a metric ton of salt. Believe me: it’s for your own good.</p>
<p>Not quite Cardgames. More like… I’m freaking out and feeling insecure… Haha.</p>
<p>Then to make you feel even more insecure and inadequate (isn’t this what CC is all about :p?), I’ll post my actual stats:</p>
<p>SAT: 2380 (780 writing).</p>
<p>SAT II: 800 math 2 and 800 chemistry.</p>
<p>GPA: no one cares because my old high school is a joke (valedictorian for whatever it’s worth).</p>
<p>EC:
- Three month fulltime(9 hours daily) internship at government.
- 8 years at martial arts club/instructed classes.
- Science and math Olympiads (IMO participant, 1st in national chemistry, 3rd in national math, 7th in national geology, 1st in state physics, etc.)
- Leadership/IT program at University of Toronto (This is a nonsense program, but adcoms don’t know that
) - 3 years forensics/leadership at school. </p>
<p>School: ED acceptance to Wharton (Huntsman).</p>
<p>This is the second tactic in the way of the business man: it’s known as psychological warfare! Through posting my over glorified stats, I have crushed the dreams of many could-have-been-rivals and secured the much coveted spot. The final tactic in the way of the business man is ganging up. So, Strong94, do you want to team up to overload The CommonApp’s traffic so that nobody can submit his/her application, thus unleashing anarchy upon your rivals? </p>
<p>Seriously though, don’t take CC seriously.</p>
<p>Hahaha. Cardgames. To be honest though… those are damn amazing stats + ECs. But I’m not competing for any of those top tier schools. I’m competing for UC system schools. My actual stats:</p>
<p>SAT 1710
ACT 26
SAT II None</p>
<p>GPA 3.31 UC Cap 3.0 UW Rank 54/218</p>
<p>EC:
- Three month internship at Real Estate Agency 30 hrs/week
- August 2011 to present Real Esate Marketing Analyst position 5-10hours/week
- 9 years martial arts (4 years as junior instructor, many international + regional awards)
- Camp Venture Business Skills Development Program taught by Haas Professor (week long camp and won the Best Written Start Up Proposal award)
- I founded and single-handedly manage a 5figure business (increased revenue from 2k-4k, international, 1000+ clients)
- Piano 11 years</p>
<p>These are the mains I guess? Other ones (clubs, officer psotion etcetc) are not very important in my eyes. </p>
<p>I want to get into UC Berk, or LA/Irvine/Davis</p>
