<p>I think your SATs are the weakest part of your application, along with your GPA (both of those stats are AWESOME overall, but for the schools you're applying to they're below average). You do have some pretty cool traits that make up for it though so don't let that drag you down. </p>
<p>UChicago: Reach
Columbia: Long Reach
UMichigan: Reach
MIT: Rejected, MIT is considered by most to be the absolute hardest school to get into, and being Asian doesn't help at a school that practices AA religiously
NYU: Reach
Stanford: Rejected, yep, too hard, Standford is a tough school to get into, almost as tough as MIT
Cornell: Long Reach</p>
<p>For the schools you listed above, I'd say 2100 would be a bare minimum. </p>
<p>You seem to be passionate about hotel management, but are you sure MIT is the best school for that major? A good engineering school isn't necessarily a good business school, and vice versa. I'm no expert in hotel management, but could I recommend trying to get a really broad education for your under-grad like business, science, mathematics, and then go to graduate school or a technical school to get the special hotel management skills. </p>
<p>That won't help much. Your GPA is too low.
And...you're an Asian male in New Jersey.</p>
<p>UChicago: REJECT
Columbia: REJECT
USC, Marshall: Unlikely
UMichigan, Ross: REJECT
MIT Sloan: REJECT
Georgetown: Very Unlikely
NYU Stern: REJECT
UC (Berk, UCLA): REJECT AT BOTH
Stanford (too hard?): REJECT
Cornell; Hotel Mangement: Very Unlikely</p>
<p>there is no bare minimum, just get perfect grades (all A+) first semester senior year and your GPA will go up. retake the SAT and aim for 2300+ (the higher the better obviously lol).</p>
<p>A 2200 SAT, though a fine score, will not impress any of your colleges except USC, Georgetown, and NYU. And maybe not even NYU Stern. Berkeley and UCLA are as hard as Ivies to get into out of state.</p>
<p>The thing is that you're applying to business programs. You could (if you raise your score) get into NYU, USC, and UMichigan. But not into Stern, Marshall, and Ross.</p>
<p>Please take a look at it again. And make any suggestions as of How I can reach my colleges. Please? </p>

<p>You probably need to raise your SAT score 300 points AT LEAST.</p>
<p>But that will only put you in the running, it won't make you a super competitive applicant for any of the business programs.</p>
<p>You could go to a great school that does not have a business program and do just as well OR you could consider some safeties (Fordham and Bentley, for instance) that have well respected business programs but are a tier below Ross, Stern, etc etc etc You're trying to get into the tippy top of schools (with the exception of Wharton) with much less than the tippy top of stats.</p>
<p>At this point you should probably narrow your list to a few reaches (cut Berkeley, Stanford, and UCLA and probably 2 business schools) and add a bunch of other more reasonable but still great schools that have b-schools.</p>
<p>You don't have a chance...You're free to apply everywhere as well as kid yourself that you're gonna raise your SAT 200+ pts, but the bottom line is you don't have much of a chance at any of those. Consider Rutgers/UMD. Those are probably ur best shots.</p>
<p>I agree mostly with what others have been saying on here, but I still think that it's worth applying and really spending time on the essays if it's truly your dream to go to one of those schools. With excellent essays, excellent recommendations, a high senior year GPA, and an improved SAT score (I would say 2200 and up puts you in a decent situation for any of those), you would be in the running with good chances at most of those schools. As it stands, your GPA and SAT really do drag you down for the top-tier schools. Not that you shouldn't try and still apply, but I think you should add a few safety schools in there.</p>
