<p>Assuming that i will have strong recommendations & essays, what are my chances for these colleges?</p>

<p>***Also, if you think i left out any good business schools (for accounting) that you think i should apply to, please let me know!</p>

<p>I know my GPA is not high, but i tried my best...What else can i say...</p>

<p>I think you have a decent chance at UC Santa Barabara and Boston University. The rest are on the higher end of the “reach” for you. Ann Arbor, Lehigh, Indiana, and William and Mary are out of the question for you. The rest maybe, but the two i mentioned are your best shots. Also, Drexel University is a fairly good accounting school and matches your profile well!</p>

<p>What about Indiana?! Ok, i know the biz school is hard to get into, but how about my chances for the general school? I mean, admissions is around 70 something percent (not saying that’s good or bad)… Also, if i dont get in straight to the biz school, i can just transfer in after 2 years since the classes you take the first 2 years at Indiana compared to the kelley school of business are very very similar. What i’m trying to say is that even if i get rejected from the Kelley School of business, they’ll still consider me for general admission. Do you think i can get accepted to general admission?!</p>

<p>Also, i guess i forgot to include Purdue University… What are my chances for Purdue? (and Indiana’s general admission…)</p>

<p>I agree with drac313, except your GPA for BU is a little low, as is your class rank. Michigan and Indiana are nearly impossible unless you’ve got an enticing hook or extremely great essays, but even then, its still going to be tough.</p>

<p>I’m sorry, but i’m not understanding what you said about Indiana… I know the Kelley School of Business is hard to get into directly (as a freshman), but what about general admission? Do you think i could get in to Indiana’s general admission? As i stated before, even if i get rejected from the Kelley school of Business, they will still consider me for general admissions…</p>
