Please Chance Confused Girl?

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>Hi, I'm just really nervous because I'm not sure whether I'm applying to too many schools that are out of my reach, etc. </p>

<p>I also want to know whether it would be more beneficial for me to apply undecided to some of the reach colleges, because I want to double major in business and history, and I know a lot of the colleges I chose have strong (aka competitive) business programs. </p>

<p>Please help me? I really am confused...and nervous... thnx:)</p>

<p>By the way: what schools do you guys think would be a good fit for me?</p>

<p>Oh by the way, I will be the first to graduate from college from my family. My dad went to MIT but dropped out due to an explosion of issues (serious illness- almost died, parent death, family business failed...pretty much got the short end of the stick)</p>

<p>Sorry: Also, won coaches award in golf (2007) and am a national semi finalist. I should be an AP Scholar thing with my stats (i think?) but I assume I'm supposed to get something in the mail soon?</p>

<p>I think you should at least apply to Harvard and others like. You're in the range, don't sell yourself short! Not that most of those aren't top top. Go Bears!</p>

10

<p>dvrjosh- thanks for the encouragement...but I'm pretty sure I have no chance at Harvard..plus the intimidation factor is huge :)</p>

11

<p>Do you really think Georgetown would be match? From what I've seen they're right up there with Princeton, etc. in terms of difficulty in getting in.</p>

12

<p>You're in at NYU. At least guarantee for CAS at least and most likely the GSP program.</p>

13

<p>What are those?</p>

14

<p>Most likely GSP???</p>

<p>No, I think Clover is smart enough for CAS regular. </p>

<p>Clover: GSP is sort of like a pre-nyu school. Its expensive and you have to attend NYU for 6 years.</p>

15

<p>Since you are Chinese.... I think your SAT II test scores are a bit low....
I got four 800 in my SAT II now, and I'm planning to take 3 more in Nov..
BTW...I'm Chinese</p>

16

<p>Clover dont listen to smalllab...he/she is seriously just trying to fish for compliments. </p>

<p>I dont understand people who go around spamming their "amazingness". Geez, how does it help the person's chance thread? And does being one ethnicity make a person smarter than another? I know hard work/studying can...but ethnicity, that'll be a hard thing to prove concretely.</p>

17

<p>Small Lab, I just want to personally thank you for sharing your achievements in SAT IIs. We are all very impressed!</p>

<p>Cloverlab, out of curiosity, why is MIT on your list? From my obviously very limited point of view, it seems like you would be better suited at a liberal arts school.</p>

<p>I was orignally shooting for a business school (major in international busines) but I think I'm going to take the international relations route... and end up (hopefully) around the same place I would with international business since I want to work with human resources, etc. more than I would with finance...etc. But I'm not applying to MIT anymore: I think I'm replacing it with Chicago U. and also Tufts</p>

<p>Btw.. I do know that my SATII scores are a bit low...I'm hoping to re-take some in Dec. I guess... I'm taking the SAT I on Nov. for good measure... </p>

<p>Any other schools you guys think I should apply for? I don't want to end up in a situation where I have no school to go to come Fall 2009</p>
