<p>DOLO, are you good enough to compete at the university level? You can get a full scholarship to top universities (assuming your SAT is high enough; over 2000) if you are talented enough. Schools like Cal, Duke, Indiana, Michigan, Stanford, USC, UT-Austin, UVa, Wisconsin-Madison etc...</p>
<p>Never underestimate the desire of colleges to want to include someone with an unusual background in their student body. A national-team swimmer from Georgia with what seem to be pretty decent academic credentials would be quite a catch for a place like Villanova or Bucknell.</p>
<p>DOLO,
Being from Georgia will definitely be a hook. </p>
<p>It will be difficult for the colleges to put your academic credentials in context so unless you have very strong SATs you should put a lot of emphasis on the intangible side of your application: e.g. your extra curriculars, your recommendations and your essays.</p>
<p>Is it unethical to be recruited as an athlete then not participate? I don't know enough about college sports to answer that question, but it just doesn't seem like the way you'd want to get started in a new school, new country. </p>
<p>Just about every big university -- public and private -- has a business department. You should look at US News and World Report to choose a range of selectivity and apply to several that appeal to you. </p>
<p>For smaller liberal arts colleges you'll have to do more research. Same situation, though, apply to a range of selectivity.</p>
<p>Good luck and let us know how you do.</p>
