<p>NEED HELP ON CHOOSING THE RIGHT COLLEGE FOR UNDERGRADUATE BUSINESS, MOST LIKELY PURSUING GRAD SCHOOL
College list:
Rutgers(NB)
Penn State(UP)
Northeastern
Boston University
Villanova
UMD College park
Fordham
Indiana U Bloomington</p>

<p>Personal Stats-
I live in New Jersey!
SAT-1950
GPA 4.0 out of 5
AP's English junior & senior year, Ap economics,Ap calc AB, AP environmental, AP Art, AP US history.</p>

<p>Question- Which school or schools seem best for me? Money is a problem but not a HUGE problem. If things are worth it for say in the long run then it is fine. My parents feel Rutgers is the best considering money and loans. They feel that when i come out i will be making a close amount to the other colleges and should not pay so much more for the same education. However, I feel with schools more expensive such as Boston University and Penn State, i can receive a much better education, have better and stronger internships, and live in a better college campus. What do you guys think? ALL opinions and responses are appreciated! Thanks!</p>

<p>Consider UPenn (Wharton).</p>

5

<p>He won’t get into Wharton with that SAT</p>

6

<p>I still think he should apply. It’s a reach, maybe a high reach, worth trying though…</p>

7

<p>Northeastern, BU and Villanova would be high matches with no chance of merit aid.</p>

8

<p>Are indiana and penn state for business that good compared to the others? I feel the demographics for indiana would seem horrible considering its location is so far from the city and areas of ideal business settings.</p>

<p>Tomofboston, i was told by a counselor that i would be fine getting into Villanova. My extracurriculars (not to brag) are quite outstanding. Would it really be a high match?</p>
