<p>...in the northeast area. I'd be willing to go down a little south, into virginia maybe, but no farther.</p>

<p>I don't know what kind of business really, but I don't want to be an entrepreneur.</p>

<p>I have a 95 GPA, but many of my friends have even higher GPAs... I have a 1300/1600 or 1930/2400 on the SAT.</p>

<p>I have very good ECs, playing varsity soccer, being the sales manager of our school plays, being the altar server mentor at my church (doing it for 8 years now) and holding positions in some honor societies. It may not sound like great ECs from what I have just typed (I'm too tired to write more), but I'm very pleased with my ECs.</p>

<p>I also am a pool manager/lifeguard at an indoor swim club and have been working there since last november. I was promoted this past summer.</p>

<p>I like Villanova... a lot. But what are some other schools you guys think I should consider?</p>

<p>Thanks a lot.</p>

<p>Try Bentley and Babson. Then again, you might not like Babson if you don't want to be an entrepeneur.</p>

<p>Ahhh...Wake Forest is one of the best on the east coast, but a bit further south. I'd urge you to consider it though. </p>

<p>NYU could be a good reach school, although it would help to retake the SAT. </p>

<p>Or, if you're planning on getting an MBA, you could also try looking at LACs. A liberal arts education is a solid preparation for any field, and most LACs are desperately trying to recruit more men, so you'll have a better shot at highly ranked LACs than you will at highly ranked universities.</p>

<p>I think I might want to get an MBA, but I dont know for sure.. Can anyone recommend and good, realistic LACs for me?</p>

<p>Or even universities... I just want some guidance! Haha.</p>

<p>Thanks all.</p>

5

<p>Skidmore, Clark, and Stonehill could be good LAC options. </p>

<p>As for universities, perhaps Fordham or Syracuse?</p>

6

<p>Great... I already applied to Fordham. </p>

<p>I have a 1300/1600 and a 1930/2400 with a 95 GPA, good ECs and an average essay. What are my chances like?</p>

<p>I know it's the wrong forum, but I just wanna knowww! =)</p>

7

<p>I would think yu are likely to get in at Forham. Average SAT is only 1201 and you have very good grades as well.</p>

8

<p>Boston College has a great undergrad biz program..although it may be a reach for you.</p>

9

<p>Indiana, Michigan</p>

10

<p>University of Richmond.</p>

<p>Check out Boston University's School of Management. The BU forum has many older threads describing the program in detail. S's former roommate is a junior at SMG and the program is intense. The management building is drop dead gorgeous.</p>

<p>This thread was begun by a BU student who has since graduated.</p>

<p>According to Business Week, these are the top 10 undergraduate business schools: The University of Pennsylvania, University of Virginia, University of California-Berkeley, Emory University, University of Michigan, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, University of Notre Dame, Brigham Young University, New York University, and Cornell University. Four are in Northeast, two in South.</p>

<p>BC would be amazing if I got in... but a lot of kids at my school with better stats and everything are applying there too, so I think I'd have very low chances.</p>
