Possible Decent/Good Business Schools (Undergradute)

College Search & Selection
1

<p>About me: Junior, 15 years old, asian
Location: Northville, MI (upper-middle class)
School: Pretty competive HS, pretty good (I don't know rank)
HS GPA: 3.6-3.7 unweighted (we don't have weighted GPA, and our GPA system is messed up. A- = 3.67, B+ = 3.33, but the GPA I wrote down is the one I'll have according to U of M's GPA scale, my normal GPA is about the same anyways though)
Workload:
Junior Year:
One of the hardest workloads possible, 2 APs (taking AP Euro + AP Bio now), 3 Honors, and rest are all normal/harder academic courses. No blowoffs or elective classes.
Sophomore Year:
One of the hardest workloads possible, 1 AP (AP Psych - 4), 2 Honors, rest all normal/harder academic courses. Just one blowoff (gym).
In summary, I'm taking the hardest classes possible. I plan on taking 4-5 APs next year too and rest honors or something.
SAT/ACT Scores:
2000+ SAT (700-800 Math, 600-700 CR/Writing), 30+ ACT (High 30's Math+Science, High 20's Reading/Writing) that's would I should score
Extracurriculars:
FIRST Robotics (9-10) - Did pretty good at regionals (top 5 in two of them), won a bunch of rewards
Varisty Tennis (10-12) - Playing 1 doubles, or 1-4 singles, depends if we stack lol. Won division/conference, third at regionals. Hopefully we'll do better this year and next.
Quiz Bowl (9-11) - Didn't do good, not bad either though
Science Olympia (11-12) - Got a couple of rewards, can't remember which right now
German Club (9-11) - Nothing special here either
National Honors Society (10-12)
I'm getting a job, and getting some more extracurriculars to make this section look nicer though.</p>

<p>I just wanted a list of schools that are within reach and some good match schools as well as safeties. I know alot of the ones I listed are reach or unlikely with my GPA but let's see what you guys have to say. Was hoping you guys could give your opinions on any schools that I have mentioned (or not mentioned) for their undergraduate business program.</p>

<p>It's a little hard to say until you actually take the SAT. Lots of people score better or worse than what they predicted. Texas business school could be a real reach- it is very difficult to gain admittance as a freshman. I don't think your GPA is necessarily a deal-breaker anywhere. It will depend on the rest of your application, including the scores for SAT/ACT and SATIIs.</p>

<p>Yeah, thanks for the reply. I'm just worried my GPA will kill my chances at some good business schools (yeah, I do know it kills my chances at Ivies, but I wasn't exactly thinking I would make there anyways :P). Hopefully I'll do better than expected on SAT/ACT/SAT II's and apps and stuff :)</p>

<p>Columbia, Chicago, and Dartmouth do not offer undergraduate degrees in business as far as I know. Are you thinking of majoring in economics instead?</p>

<p>Indiana University might be a good school to add -- it is a great business school and not that brutal to get into.</p>

<p>Don't know quite yet, I'm thinking Business or Econ (well, they are related)</p>
