Schools for Finance with 3.4 GPA and 2160 SAT

Applying to College
1

<p>Hello,</p>

<p>I'm looking for a good range of schools that I can get into for Finance specifically. I'm very interested in becoming an I-banker out of college or doing something with investments. I like schools in big cities with great job outlook. I am applying to Carlson(U MN), Stern and maybe Wharton. Any other suggestions?</p>

<p>Stats:</p>

<p>3.4 UW GPA(2.9 Freshman, 3.4 Soph, 3.4 Junior, 3.8 Senior)
2150 SAT(720 CR, 720 M, 720 W)
SAT II: US History 680, Math II 700
6 APS, 7 Honors. As rigorous as I could make it since I had scheduling conflicts with my world language.
Senior year course load: 3 APs and 1 Honors out of 6</p>

<p>ECS
* Freelance work doing online marketing. Clients include plastic surgeons, lawyers and million dollar companies.
* Started my own business doing online marketing. Profitable with 6 clients @ $500 a month. Started in June of this year
*Started business selling money in video games. Little profit then failed. Wrote about it in my essay.</p>

<p>Other
*Essays are very good from what I hear from students at top U's.
*Letters are from AP teachers and they both liked me a lot. I also did very well in their classes.</p>

<p>URM(Black Male), <35k family income for family of 6. I go to an OK public high; our school sends 20 kids to USNWR top 100. Most people apply to state colleges</p>

<p>3.4 UW GPA(2.9 Freshman, 3.4 Soph, 3.4 Junior, 3.8 Senior)</p>

<p>Have you already graduated? If not, how do you already have a senior year GPA? If that’s just for one quarter, then it won’t change your cum GPA very much at all. </p>

<p>Your financial situation is going to limit you. NYU rarely gives good aid, so who knows what they’ll give you. Have you used their NPC?</p>

<p>You need to apply to the schools KNOWN to “meet need”. </p>

<p>What state are you in? Your state schools may be your safeties if your state also gives good aid.</p>
