<p>Since you seem to be undecided about majoring in business, economics or political science, you need to know that, of the colleges listed below, only UCB, USC, NYU, and Georgetown have undergraduate business schools, so you will have to major in Econ or Poli Sci at the others.</p>

<p>UCB--Slight Reach
UCLA--Slight Reach
UCSD--Match to Slight Reach
UCI--Match
UCD--Match
USC--Slight Reach
NYU (Stern)--Match to Slight Reach (you could probably get into NYU CAS easily if you went for Economics or Poli Sci, but unfortunately if you want to go into business, NYU has a very strict policy about not allowing students to transfer from any of the other colleges into Stern or Tisch).
Georgetown--Slight Reach</p>
