Stress, Pressure and More Stress...Help?

College Search & Selection

<p>I'm an average B student who is looking for some serious help.</p>

<p>My SAT Scores are an 1100
My GPA is a 3.0
I'm involved in all sorts of extracurriculars:</p>

<p>DECA Chapter President 2004-2005, 2005-2006 Deca Vice President 2003-2004 and a 4th year member</p>

<p>Yearbook Staff Section Editor 2004-2005, 2005-2006
French Club Member
Newspaper Editor 2003-2004, 2004-2005
SADD 2nd year member
BOE Communications Committee 2004-2005</p>

<p>Employment:
I've held down a job since i was 14. </p>

<p>First i was a waitress for 3.5 years now i'm a secretary.</p>

<p>Now my question for you is, what schools in or around Boston/Providence/New York City would be safetys/good matches/reaches?
I could really use some guidance on the entire college admission, application process.</p>

<p>So far i've applied to:
Bentley (reach? what are my chances at this school? honestly?)
Bryant (good match?)
Suffolk (safety?)</p>

<p>I would like to major in either business (international business, management, or marketing) or communications (advertising)</p>

<p>I need some other options. Just some suggestions, guidance, advise anything you have to say would be nice. I'm really particular about the area of the school, i definitely want to stay in the Boston/Providence maybe NYC area. </p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>Have you looked at Babson? Fantastic Entrepreneurship program and excellent undergrad business school.</p>

3

<p>Isn't Babson a bit of a stretch? Are my grades really decent enough to apply there? I thought they had higher standards than Bentley?</p>

<p>any thoughts?
BUMP</p>

<p>Bentley and Babson are on the same level. Both will be reaches for you</p>
