Top Business Schools in East Coast

College Search & Selection
1

<p>Hey, first post, first question. I'm wondering what are some good business undergrad schools I could get into, preferably in the East Coast. Even more preferably in Tri-State area or close.</p>

<p>I would like some realistic responses, and I am hoping for financial aid. Don't want to pay too much. Here are some stats I guess</p>

<p>SAT: 2080 (2100 superscore)
SAT II: Math 2 (760) and Chem (770)
GPA: 90.61 (My school doesn't convert to the 4 point scale, and only give out weighted)</p>

<p>I've taken as many Honors as possible (English, Math, and sciences, my school doesn't have History Honors classes)
I've taken 2 AP classes (Chem and Econ), 3 tests (Chem, Macro, Micro). I am planning on taking AP Envi Sci and AP Stat next year. If this matters, my school weights AP classes the same as Honors (5 point boost).</p>

<p>Extra curriculars:
- Volunteer at local Sunday School for 3 years now as an Assistant Teacher
- Taking my final strides towards Eagle Scout (need to finish the project)
- Working on obtaining the Silver Medal in the Congressional Award
- Robotics for 2 years
- FBLA for 1 year
- Interact for 2 years
- Writer for the school newspaper for 3 years
- *Not sure if this counts as anything but currently maintaining a sports blog hoping to go viral with two other writers working for me.
- Interned for one summer as an IT person in a Foreign Exchange company</p>

<p>I would like to get to apply to NYU (reachh), Rutgers, Villanova, and TCNJ and possibly Baruch. Are there any other schools that I can try for that have good business schools that are REALISTIC based on what I've provided for you?</p>

<p>Thank you, and sorry if its in the wrong area, didn't know which one to put it in. (Chances, Search or Admissions)</p>

<p>I also forgot to mention that I will be taking the SAT again this October in hopes for 2200</p>

<p>I’d also apply to Fordham;s Gabelli school of business. There is a new dedicated building for the b-school opening up this fall and you might qualify for some merit aid there. My S had a great experience there. You can also look at Bentley and Babson (outside of Boston) if you are OK with a school that only has business majors.</p>

3

<p>Besides the ones you’ve listed, Fordham, Lehigh, BC (slight reach), Drexel, UConn maybe?</p>

4

<p>Northeastern</p>

5

<p>Try Macaulay Honors at Baruch College. Free Tuition/Laptop/7500$ grant</p>

6

<p>Temple
Philadelphia University</p>

<p>If you happen to have a passion for food marketing or pharmaceutical marketing, check St. Joseph’s</p>

7

<p>philadelphia university (safety)
u of miami (further south) good fit
butler university (further west)
u of pittsburgh
muhlenberg college (great fit)
nova southeastern (florida) safety… great school/campus/location</p>

<p>I’d rather not have a school primed just at business majors. And thanks everyone else for the lists! Do you guys think I’d make it into any of the ones I’ve listed?</p>

9

<p>Babson University, outside of Boston. Outstanding reputation for undergrad business, especially in entrepreneurship.</p>

10

<p>By tri-state, do you mean PA? If so, Penn State has a good business school and although expensive for a state school, still cheaper than private. I’m not sure, but it sounds like you’d have a shot at Schreyer’s Honors, as well.</p>

11

<p>Definitely consider UMichigan’s Ross program. It is top notch, if you want to enter Wall Street. NYU Stern is extraordinary as well.</p>

12

<p>^Dude, when did Michigan become part of the East Coast? The OP clearly stated that he wanted a program that was located in the Tri State area.</p>

<p>I would recommend Cornell AEM, NYU Stern, UVA McIntire, Georgetown McDonough, and Boston College Carroll in that order.</p>

13

<p>I think you can get into Northeastern, Lehigh and Fordham as matches</p>

14

<p>By Tri-State I mean NJ, NY, PA area.</p>

<p>“I would recommend Cornell AEM, NYU Stern, UVA McIntire, Georgetown McDonough, and Boston College Carroll in that order.”</p>

<p>What’s the likelihood that I end up in either of those with decent scholarships and aid? I would have thought Cornell would be a reach.</p>

15

<p>By the way I live in NJ</p>

16

<p>What do you mean by East Coast? Wake Forest may be worth a look.</p>

17

<p>I would prefer NJ, NY, PA area BUT if I have to I could venture around the East Coast, preferably not further South than say North Carolina</p>
