<p>What top finance school? Those stats will likely not get you into most of the Ivy League universities, but there are a lot of good schools that would likely accept you.</p>

<p>Yeah, I’m not looking at any Ivies, just some respectable schools that will accept me and possibly give me some financial aid.</p>
<p>Thanks for the reply</p>
<p>Can you give us some specific schools you are looking at?</p>

<p>NYU - match?
<p>are my main choices, I’m hoping to get some money from Fordham to make it affordable, SUNY Binghamton is relatively inexpensive, NYU’s poor financial aid makes it almost impossible for me to go there, but I’d regret not applying.</p>
<p>Haven’t really looked at any other schools.</p>
<p>I was considering
<p>I would call NYU a reach, not a match, sorry I can’t speak to the other schools…</p>
<p>NYU is probably not a match for you, sorry. Your SAT/ACT is not high enough and your GPA is lacking. If you had stellar EC’s and good test scores, they may be able to look past your GPA. Look into Wisconsin-Madison or something along those lines. Michigan and BC will be, I say, just as difficult as NYU to get into. I would call those 3 reaches.
