<p>your stats at first seem impressive, and they are. but after reviewing them, in actuality, there are a great deal of red flags. my expertise is in haas, because i've spent countless hours calling and researching, so that's all the advice i can guarantee. this is not to discourage you, this is to show you the reality. im not gonna apologize for that.</p>

<p>1)you're not only coming from an OOS school, you're also coming from a 4 year university. that puts you at an inherent disadvantage, but you already knew this, because it's a state school.</p>

<p>2) your gpa is good, but your courses are REALLY,REALLY,REALLY problematic. microeconomics is a prerequisite and counts toward your SAR, therefore its included in your prereq gpa. you cant erase that. unfortunately, the fact that you dont have 5's in both micro and macro means you cant use it on the application. keep this in mind: you NEED TO PUT DOWN ON YOUR SAR THAT YOU TOOK MICROECONOMICS AT CORNELL. that is absolutely IMPERATIVE. haas only considers your first attempts at courses. secondly, i dont know the exact articulation, but you need to know that haas gives priority to applicants who have completed the prerequisites by the time of application. </p>

<p>to maximize your chances of admission to HAAS, this needs to be your fall schedule:</p>

<p>Introductory Statistics
First semester calculus
Introduction to business
American Realism
Arabic 003</p>

<p>3)the fact that you didnt take that many units is also going to hurt you. i'm sorry to break it to you dude, but practically every single one of your AP's dont matter to haas.

<p>4)this is not to say that you dont have good chances at stern or wharton. you have a stellar high school academic record. if i was in your position, i'd be shooting for those as well. also recommendations you should look into: columbia, cornell, and CMU. all highly ranked business programs, cornell is a little lacking in rank but still a good program nonetheless. they would be more compatible with your chances for admission, as well as a better fit,i believe, for you..i mean, considering that you are in new york and all.</p>
