Uconn Business School

Applying to College
1

<p>My name is Mike, im from Maine, and I am a senior in high school. Out of the hundreds of colleges I have looked at Uconn is by far my number one choice: four hours from home, right size, reputable program, nice facilities, etc. </p>

<p>About me:</p>

<p>GPA: 95.6
have taken all honors and ap classes available

<p>SAT scores may 2010: 1560
480 in reading
530 in writing
560 in math</p>

<p>My Concerns: I have heard that Uconn only accepts around 30% of out of state students despite accepting around 50% of in state students. In addition I have heard that the bussiness school only accepts around 30% of freshman business school applicants? I have taken the SAT's again (October 9) and I will taken them a 3rd time on November 6th (should get around a 1670 (500 reading, 560 writing and 660 math)). Uconn is my #1 school. I want to be a healthcare administrator and have been job shadowing for about 3 months about 4 hours per week. The business administration program and a concentration in healthcare managment would be perfect, can I get in? Thank you!</p>

<p>Good choice UCONN, my parents went there & one of my kids, too… </p>

<p>With the way the economy is, they may be letting in a lot more OOS students so they can collect that OOS tuition! </p>

<p>Princeton Review shows the following spread of SAT Scores for mid 50: </p>

<p>CR 550-640
MATH 570-670
WRITING 550-650 </p>

<p>If you think your scores are going to improve, maybe you have a shot at getting in!<br>
Aren’t they rolling admissions? Have you applied yet?? Don’t wait too long to apply. </p>

<p>My Dad is a grad of the School of the Business 1950! He was in Engineering & found it way too difficult, so he switched! We recently found his report cards from Engineering, all F’s… LOL… no wonder he changed!</p>

<p>Haha that’s funny. But thank you for the response. I am actually sending out my application this weekend, I’m using the common ap. Then, on Monday I will send all of my other documentation at school through the guidance office.</p>
