<p>Your list seems to be very top heavy, and I don't see a safety anywhere. </p>

<p>At most of the schools I listed at match/reach, you're a borderline applicant. Excellent essays and recs will work in your favor.</p>

<p>I'm assuming you're an OOS applicant for the publics on your list.</p>

<p>i live in california</p>

<p>aslo i forgot, my class rank is top 2%</p>

<p>probably top 20 out of 760, very competitve high school</p>

<p>sonic pwr - You asked for honest comments. Please take to heart the advice that your current list of colleges is "top heavy". Go for several reaches, but for sure identify safeties that you would be comfortable attending. It's a cold wind in the face come April if none of your reaches work out.</p>

7

<p>I think you need to see your new SAT score before you can realistically evaluate chances.</p>

8

<p>Virtually all of the colleges listed will expect chem/bio/phsycis, they will note that you are missing one and look for the reason. I don't see any safties.</p>

9

<p>because im taking 2 maths, CALC BC and STATS</p>

10

<p>That isn't really a reason. To have the best college profile (meaning no missing items) you should have taken the physics. Stats just isn't as valuable, you should have considered that an extra class after the core load. It's not the end of the world, but they can't go check, check, check when they look for expected classes.</p>

<p>Boston Univ.
Carnegie Mellon
UC Berkeley
Wahsington St Louis
NYU
U Mich Ann Arbor
Cornell
Univ of Virgina
College of William and Mary
UC San Diego
also thinking of adding:
American University (is tat a good idea)
UC Santa Cruz ( i heard strong business program)</p>

<p>your thoughts plz</p>

<p>also if possible please answer these q's
wats the average # of school ppl apply to?
which other business schools do u think i have a shot at?
when should i start the college essays , now, or should i focus on SAT more?
which schools from my list give the most financial aid?
should i apply ED or EA anywhere???
y finally was it a good idea to drop UPENN of my list of schools?</p>

12

<p>...sorry, I meant that Stats should have been considered the elective class <em>after</em> your core classes were done. Sure physics is not required, but for top schools bio/chem/physics is expected.</p>

<p>i knw i should have done physics but now its k i found out</p>
