School Suggestions?

<p>Hi, this is my first post. I hope this is in the correct section.</p>

<p>I have slacked off in highschool so far (I am entering senior year). I wish to pursue economics/finance/business in college and I am looking for any school suggestions that you could give me.</p>

<p>My GPA for 9th and 10th ended around 2.7/4.
I then switched schools and averaged around 93-94% in all of my classes for 11th grade.
I am switching back to my other school and hope to have an average of 90% or around there. It is an elite private school, so there is more difficulty than the other school I mentioned (it is a boarding school as well).</p>

<p>I have a 2100 on the SAT.</p>

<p>What are some schools that you would suggest for me? What are my chances of getting into those schools? Will my decent (I think) SAT score outweigh the poor highschool performance?</p>

<p>Any assistance you are able to give me is greatly appreciated.</p>

<p>I would suggest you go to a state university. It will not be easy to be accepted into a major in business unless you work hard. You will, however, most likely, be able to attend a state U in your home state and major is something.</p>

<p>If you’re attending a boarding school can we assume your family can pay in full? If not, what can your parents afford?</p>

<p>Do you know your total cumulative GPA?</p>

<p>What’s your home state? Any regions of the country you’d like to be in/avoid? Urban, suburban, or rural? How large a school would you like to attend? Any special characteristics you’d like it to have (ex: D1 sports, plenty/no greek life, particular club, etc)?</p>

<p>Given that you seemed to struggle in a highly competitive school, I’d recommend going to less competitive college or university. IMO that will allow you to thrive far more than if you went to a school that you just barely got into. </p>

<p>The reality is, virtually every school in the country offers business, finance, or economics in some capacity, and there are plenty of colleges that will gladly accept you while providing you with a rigorous education in the fields you’re interested in.</p>

<p>Talk to your GC at your school. They should be well acquainted with schools students with your grades can get in.</p>
