<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>DS is a Loyola MD graduate and doing quite well. Loyola is the only private school in MD with an AASCB approved accounting program. All the big four recruit Loyola accounting majors. If you want to stay the Jesuit route in a big city, I also would suggest Saint Joseph’s University in Philadelphia which is also AASCB approved. Bentley, Creighton, Loyola MD, Saint Joseph’s University are AASCB approved fro both business and accounting. The other schools on your list are AASCB approved for business but not for accounting. All are great schools. I would suggest choosing the school where fit and cost work best for you. Good luck.</p>

<p>Other Jesuit colleges that are AASCB approved for both business and accounting are Loyola Chicago, Marquette, and Santa Clara University. Gonzaga is approved for both programs but located in a nice smaller city, Spokane.</p>
