<p>Karma, you should definitely apply to Penn if Business is your goal. As for ED, you have to think carefully about it. It does inprove your chances, but you will be hnor bound to them if they accept you. You should also look into MIT. MIT does not consider Freshman grades. If I were you I would look at the following schools:</p>
<p>Indiana University-Bloomington (Kelley)
Massachusetts Institute of Technology (Sloan)
New York University (Stern)
University of Michigan-Ann Arbor (Ross)
University of Pennsylvania (Wharton)</p>
<p>Ordinarily, I would tell you that Michigan would be a backup for you. But next year, Michigan will allow High School applicants to apply directly to the Business school and there it no telling how selective that will be. Until I can ascertain the selectivity of the Business program at Michigan, I will have to remove it from the safe match list.</p>
<p>j3ff -- I'm starting to wonder if they left a 1 off that 4,300... That number just doesn't seem right with previous years' admit rates/numbers. Last year it was something like over 43,000 applied and over 10,000 were accepted (~24%). Even Berkeley accepted over 8,700 of their 36,000 applicants (~24%) last year.</p>
<p>I could be wrong, but that number just seems way too low. It just seems highly unlikely they went from a 24% acceptance rate to a 10%, yet this year was the largest class.</p>
<p>I know many people have mentioned that the usnews rankings a crap but more specifically I want to major in business-management. UofM-ross ranks second according to usnews. </p>
<p>MIT is way to big of a reach for me....some of my friends applied thier with amazing stats, and everyone, including our validictorian got deferred/rejected....a bit to competitive for me</p>
<p>no.. among 4300 students UCLA expects will enroll... so they expected around 10000 students since not everyone accepted will go to UCLA.. it's gonna be closer to 25% acceptance rate</p>
