<p>I am looking for a reach school to apply to. I have a match school (UMich) and a safety school. Both which I like a lot. I am hoping I will get into my match because it is my top choice. I figure I might as well apply to one reach. Here are my stats...I live in Michigan and will be majoring in business. </p>
<p>3.7 UW/Michigan GPA (8 APs so far)
30 ACT (Retaking in October...took without prep)
Varsity/Club Swimming, Model UN (Leadership Position), NHS, Volunteer Work (Recreation Swimming, Hospital, Tutoring)</p>
<p>If you were looking to stay in the midwest, I would consider applying to Northwestern. Look into their programs and see if they have the specific field of business you are looking for.</p>
<p>Well, you are from Michigan and as such, you have access to one of the nation's top 3 undergraduate B-schools at a highly discounted rate. Therefore, you should really only apply to Business programs that are better or cheaper. Of course, you should apply to safeties, like Indiana and MSU. </p>
<p>NYU-Stern is not better than Ross and it is twice as expensive and they aren't known for giving out scholarships. Same goes for MIT-Sloan and Cal-Haas. Only Wharton is better, but again, it is significantly more expensive, and unless you qualify for financial aid, you will not get money from them. .</p>
<p>You can apply for UVa as an out-of-state reach, if you like to be exposed to a little "southern" culture. Michigan's business program is excellent though.</p>
<p>If i were you, I would apply for michigan in September. if you get in, you wont have to waste money applying for other schools.</p>
<p>Thanks for all the replies, everyone! I'm definately am not looking to go to a liberal arts school. I guess the only reach that would make sense to apply to is Wharton, but I definately would not get in there. I think I will just apply to Michigan (and safeties) and hope I get in.</p>
