You’ve applied to 9 and already have been accepted to 2 (including one of the country’s best-regarded business schools.) So why do you need more?

It’s easy enough to identify other colleges with reputable/highly-ranked undergraduate business programs. You seem to like state universities. How about Ohio State or Penn State? Notre Dame, maybe, if you’d consider a private school?

I agree with @tk21769. You are already doing great. Keep your grades up for this year, have some fun, revel in the fact that you have already been accepted to two great universities and will probably get accepted to a few more, and relax. Congratulations!

i’m looking for some reaches(that fit my type of student), but I applied mostly state schools EA for the scholarships

Ask yourself how many business programs you’d consider better than Indiana/Kelley (which already has accepted you with a scholarship offer).
If you believe the US News rankings, there are only 10.
Of those 10, you’re already applying to 2 (#7 UNC and #3 Michigan).
The other 8:
Penn (Wharton)
MIT
Berkeley
NYU
UT-Austin
Carnegie Mellon
Cornell
UVa

How likely are you to get affordable offers from any of them?
Affordable or not, chances are, they’d be more expensive than Michigan.
Run the online net price calculators to compare net costs with what you’d pay to attend Kelley.
