Trying to find that school, chance to brag about yours?

<p>So I'm looking on where to apply for colleges. I have a list already but I'm still open to more suggestions. I'm looking for a school with a great undergraduate business program but just in case I change my mind, is good or above average in other subjects as well (I only say this because I hear that at this stage a lot of college people change their minds)</p>

<p>I like the city feel and don't want a college in the middle of nowhere (like Cornell). NYC and Philadelphia are cool (I'm from the East Coast, NJ to be exact) and i'd like some place where I could have a social life to balance with my studies. I'd like the school to have a decent sports program as well, as long as its got that school spirit feel to it. I would like that the school has a history of graduates with pretty good starting salaries in comparison to other schools ranked similarly. </p>

<p>I don't want to go too far up north, so nothing higher than Massachusetts, but UMich is on my list. It's unlikely that I end up in the mid-west anywhere nor the South. My best bet is a college on the East Coast, ranging from North Carolina to Massachusetts.</p>

<h2>I don't know if you need stats, but put posted them b4 so I</a> could link you there for the full list but I'll put down the "important" ones here</h2>

<p>SAT: 2120 (2140 superscore)
Math 740 (760 highest)
Reading 690
Writing 690</p>

<p>SAT II: Math 2 (760) and Chem (770)
GPA: 90.59 (My school doesn't convert to the 4 point scale, and only give out weighted). Unfortunately, my GPA is decreasing as the years pass but I have taken progressively harder classes.
Class Rank: N/A
Ethnicity: Asian American</p>

<p>I've taken as many Honors as possible (English, Math, and sciences, my school doesn't have History Honors classes)</p>

<p>AP Tests
AP Chem
AP Economics (Macro and Micro taught in one year)
AP Environmental Science (will take senior year)
AP Statistics (will take senior year)</p>

<p>Extracurricular Activities:
Decent to good extra curricular activities in my opinion, especially if I can get that Eagle Scout rank (full list in link above)</p>

<h2>I've interned over the summer at a financial corporation and write for a sports site.</h2>

<p>I believe that would be the "ideal" college for me, if it could meet most if not all those requirements. I would have liked NYU, but its a little too open of a campus and doesn't have any sports program at all, which bothers me. Upenn would be fantastic, but its a real reach. </p>

<p>If you have any suggestions on where I should apply (disregard money for now, although that would be a factor in my final decision.)</p>

<p>I know its a long post, so thanks in advance for any suggestions.</p>

<p>Some good state schools for undergraduate business are Virginia, North Carolina, and Penn State. Georgetown also has a really good business school.</p>

How would you compare Rutgers business program to NC’s and Penn State’s, if you can?Thanks</p>

<p>Villanova. Temple is getting more campuslike and has put a lot of resources into sports. Drexel also is building and has the coop program that gives you paid placements before you graduate.</p>

<p>Well I don’t know how you feel about California, but University of Southern California (USC) is an amazing school, with the most amazing alumni network. Also some of the UC’s are really great, like UCLA, UCSD (san diego) UCSB (santa barbara) or UC Berkeley. but I guess that also depends on your major and all.</p>

<p>NYU Stern one of the top 5 schools for business and you’d have a chance of getting in there. The only part of NYU that’s ‘open’ or spread out really are the upperclassmen dorms. All the academic buildings are centralized around Washington Square. </p>

<p>BC, BU, UNC</p>

<p>Rutgers is up and coming, but Penn State Smeal and UNC are a little more prestigious and well known.</p>
