<p>Hey guys, I'm a junior in high school right now and I was wondering if any experienced users would let me know my chances of being accepted to either the University of Pittsburgh or Penn State Main Campus. Thanks, and heres my info:</p>

<p>I plan on going into business, specifically finance. I have taken Intro. to business, personal finance, business law, accounting 1, e-commerce, marketing, and honors economics in high school so i am very well prepared. Also, I'm in-state and hispanic so i figured that would increase my chances. I'd appriciate any input regarding my chances of being accepted, strengths of Smeal and Katz schools of business, or any other reccomendations of colleges taking into consideration my statistics listed above and business-major preference. Thanks!</p>

<p>Your ACT scores probably get you in (not your SAT scores). Being hispanic may increase your chances, but being in-state will not matter at all.</p>

<p>One advantage of Pitt’s business school is that it is actually located in a city where you can do co-ops and internships without leaving the area and still taking classes at school.</p>

<p>If you think you are any good at baseball, you may want to contact the varsity coaches at either school about walk-on opportunities. In any case, I do know for a fact that Pitt has a non-varsity baseball club team as well ([Pitt</a> Club Baseball](<a href=“http://www.pittclubbaseball.com/]Pitt”>http://www.pittclubbaseball.com/)).</p>
