<p>I hope you didn’t count on Cornell to the exclusion of everything else because it really looks like it was a big stretch. Look at the US News list of national universities, start at #25, see who has a business school and is on the east coast and start applying.</p>

3

<p>You might look at Babson which is supposed to be a great undergraduate business school but has lower test scores than Ivies and top 20ish LAC’s.</p>

4

<p>Take ACT again real quick, you will do better. Try NYU or Columbia. Better yet, apply for five to fifteen more colleges, the law of averages says one will accept you. Maximize your possibilities.</p>

<p>

Aren’t you a Senior? Copy and paste from last year?</p>

6

<p>bumppppppp</p>

7

<p>bummmmmmmmmmmmmmp</p>

<p>This is quite honestly the weirdest thread I have seen in a long time.</p>

<p>Anyways, try the “B-Schools”; Bentley, Babson, and Bryant.</p>

<p>Otherwise, look into Indiana U-Bloomington, Boston U, SUNY-Bing, Clarkston, the dreaded Rutgers, UM-CP, and Drexel.</p>

9

<p>How about Northeastern?</p>

<p>How come post #1 is not from the OP???</p>

<p>And how can the family’s income be so low when they own 2 popular fast food restaurants? I don’t think the income is believable. Won’t the worth of the businesses come into play for figuring FA?</p>

<p>Those OOS publics IU and Rutgers aren’t going to be sources for FA for an OOS student, so don’t bother.</p>

<p>I agree with the statement…start at rank #25 and go from there. But those OOS publics won’t meet need, so stick to privates that will (assuming that the family businesses won’t cause a high EFC).</p>

<p>What are you looking for in a school? Colgate University is similar to Cornell but not sure about their business school.</p>
