Small-Medium Reputable Business schools: Butler, Xavier, Creighton, Fairfield and...?

<p>So, I just got a rejection from my top choice (Fordham), it was a reach, but I am very disappointing nonetheless. I am trying to narrow down my list of other schools I applied to. So far, I've got Butler, Creighton, Loyola Maryland, Xavier, SLU and Fairfield. I've gotten 14,000 to 19,000 in merit scholarships from about half of them. Assuming they all have similar Financial Aid , which do you think is best? I am going into accounting. I am also looking for other schools that have good accounting programs, and would be of similar rankings to Butler or Loyola Maryland. I also applied to Bentley, but I am a little worried that may not work out after receiving a rejection from Fordham. Any suggestions (preferably near big city, but with normal campus, in Midwest or West Coast, ~3,000-10,000 students)?</p>

<p>Stats;</p>

<p>31 ACT
3.2/3.6 GPA
All honors and AP classes from top 10 Illinois public HS
300+ Hours community service
Average Recs and well-written essay
4 years of volleyball and multiple jobs
High income bracket and Caucasian
Male</p>

<p>Any help would be appreciated! I am really worried after my rejection...</p>

<p>Your ACT is impressive! I’m surprised that Fordham outright rejected you, are you sure you weren’t deferred to RD?
I would say you might want to consider CSU @ LA. Yeah, it’s a little bigger than you wanted, but still sounds awesome! Also, maybe consider applying to Pace? It’s also in NYC, and you might like it?
Good luck!</p>
