<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>Have you tried Catholic in DC? Did you get into Fairfield? How about St. Joe’s in Philly?</p>

<p>@mscharge I have not gotten in yet. What do you think my chances are? I’m thinking I’ll get in with decent scholarship, after hearing back from Xavier, Creighton and SLU with scholarships. What do you think?</p>

My daughter and her boyfriend are recent graduates of Fairfield. She was nursing and employed and he is accounting and now in Master’s program and signed on to a company to be employed 2015 following his Master’s program. Excellent school. Hope on the train to the city. Great town and campus. Good luck!

I also applied to Fairfield and Fordham. I was not yet notified of my decision on Fairfield (it comes on Saturday) and I was deferred at Fordham. Out of the schools you listed I have heard that Loyola and Fairfield have the best business schools. Between the two it is dependent on what your major is. Fairfield has a very good accounting program and a very good finance program. Loyola has the better management and marketing programs. Its dependent upon what you want to go into but those are the best business schools on your list.
