<p>i have a good list of colleges that i would be interested in. i have already applied to my core colleges, and these are just some schools that i would be interested in. </p>
<p>i'm not gonna give you too much info on my stats. </p>
<p>GPA 3.5ish maybe +.1 higher
ACT: 28 retaking it this saturday maybe around 30...hopefully
SAT: 1800 new score coming out tommarow...projecting a 1900+</p>
<p>judging just on these criteria, which of the following colleges should i apply to. i'm planning on majoring in Finance/ BBA or Engineering and maybe a minor is East asain studies/chinese.</p>
<p>some of these are out of my league:</p>
<p>UNC Chapel Hill
Wisconsin Madison
UT Austin
Ohio State-Columbus
Miami-Oxford
Indiana-Bloomington
Vanderbilt
NYU
Minn-Twin City
Penn State</p>
<p>i have decided on Madison and wake forest (New addition). don’t know for the other two. the are positive and negative to each school. cost, distance, environment, just can’t decide.</p>
<p>I think you have a pretty strong list of schools however, I couldn’t help but noticing that they all fall into roughly the same class of schools. Perhaps for one of your four you should consider a “safety”, that is a school where the admissions criteria are less stringent and a “reach”, being a school with significantly more stringent admissions. I am partial to UW Madison as a nostalgic alumnus, but if you aren’t from in state, I don’t see why you would want to go here for something like east asian studies.</p>
<p>i applied to minnesota for business and wisconsin for Engineering. i realized that i have too many public school on here. so i;m looking for a reach private school. thinking Vanderbilt, wake forest or Case Western, any suggestion that would be a better fit?</p>
<p>i got a 1880 on the retake, not as good as i hoped, but can’t do anything now.<br>
1320 M+CR.</p>
<p>We would really need to know the OP’s financial situation to know if there are too many or too few of any kind of school. If he is low income and looking for need based aid, privates might serve him best. If he’s middle income and looking for merit aid, that’s a whole different story.</p>
<p>OP, do you have financial safeties? Do you want schools that are reach, match or safety?</p>
<p>my family makes about 100,000+ but to be honest, around 40,000 a year for college is still a little tight. and if i get into a private school, i’ll fin aid, but for in state schools or…minnesote, i don’t have to worry about money.</p>
<p>ipam45, the fact is that it appears that you haven’t decided between business and engineering…if I were you, I would not go to UNC because if you change your mind, you’d be forced to transfer, go to a school that has both departments</p>
