College Search & Selection

<p>Now that I have actual stats I guess I'll make one of these threads, lol?</p>

<p>SAT Score: 1860
690 CR, 580M, 590W (Essay: 11)
Looking to retake. Will also take Math2 subject test and another one I'll decide closer to the date.</p>

<p>GPA: According to the CollegeBoard scale, 4.0W (93.3), 3.7UW(90). Will definitely increase by the end of this year because I performed much better in my junior year compared to freshman/sophomore and my few 8th grade courses that count.
APs: World History (4), took Lang/US this year.</p>

<p>I'm definitely looking into Babson, Boston College, Northeastern, a few D.C. schools? I need more suggestions of solid business programs with good placement into jobs and a lot of working opportunities. I care more about having a wide array of options to choose from to find something I like rather than income. Also I'm a NY resident so I'll be applying to a few SUNY's as well - probably New Paltz and Albany. </p>

<p>Affordable budget because my EFC is 0 but a school that gives high need-based FA would be nice. I'm black so a decent amount of diversity would be nice too?</p>

<ul>
<li><p>In addition, what ECs could I add/what can I do to make these more specialized and show more focus? I don't have the money or resources or connections to start a business. I'm going to hopefully begin as a marketing intern for an e-based company over the summer. </p></li>
<li><p>FBLA (District Officer, Award Winner, Chapter Officer, Qualified for nationals but cant go due to budget)</p></li>
<li><p>Business Honor Society (Treasurer, more than likely President next year, founding member of the chapter, very involved)</p></li>
<li><p>National Honor Society, World Language Honor Society...</p></li>
<li><p>Model UN (Rather involved, won awards at all of my conferences)</p></li>
<li><p>Big Brother/Big Sister</p></li>
<li><p>Drama Club (Treasurer)</p></li>
</ul>

<p>A lot of them are basic. I have some volunteer work (volunteer tax returns) but my hours aren't incredibly high. I also try my best to volunteer a bit. I don't only want to do things to pad my resume but also to get real experience and networking so any suggestions? </p>

<p>It's all greatly appreciated by the way! </p>

You need to go to the financial aid forum and read up about this. An EFC of 0 just means you qualify for a Pell Grant (<$6K) and a $5.5K loan. Most public Us that will use a FAFSA EFC to determine need don’t fulfill that need. Keep some SUNYs on the list so you can get some state aid.</p>

<p>Also maybe Fordham, SUNY Binghamton, SUNY Buffalo, Bentley, BU, Faiirfield, Marist, Quinnipiac, </p>

<p>Just bumping this as I get closer to actually applying. The only updates is that I got a 5 on my AP English Languag and a 4 on my AP USH, and I became an officer in Big Brother/Big Sister. I still need some help finding places to apply!</p>
