<p>I like business because my dad owns his own business, and I have also shadowed under some of my friend's parent's small businesses. TwinWest provided a great opportunity for me to experience the business field, and I really love the working environment.</p>

<p>So far I'm looking at Cornell AEM, Umich Ross, NYU Stern, UC Berkeley, Notre Dame. I realize that those may be reaches for me, so I'm looking at safeties: University of Minnesota Carlson, University of Wisconsin Madison (both instate tuition). </p>

<p>Are there any other schools I should add on to my list? I heard great things about UT Austin and Indiana Kelley.</p>

<p>I think you have a very nice list. UT and IU are very strong in business also. We visited IU and it is beautiful. Illinois and Emory have strong business programs as well. Best of luck!</p>

<p>Emory also has a great business school and seems to be a good match based on your stats. Tulane in New Orleans has a very strong finance program with some unique opportunities and a lot of contacts. Here's a link on a story USNews did on one of my classes:</p>

<p>Tulane</a> Students Pick Stocks for Real - US News and World Report</p>

<p>thanks for the suggestions. My concern for Emory is I heard not many companies recruit there because of its location. </p>

<p>Also, are Texas and Kelley hard to get in OOS? Especially for business schools?</p>

5

<p>Carnegie Mellon - Tepper</p>

<p>UT McCombs School of Business is really hard to get into from OOS. </p>

<p>Kelley isn't that hard to get into from OOS and I think you have the stats to be automatically placed into Kelley instead of having to apply to the school when you're a freshman.</p>

7

<p>You should definitely apply to Ross. A 33 on the ACT is very good and your UW gpa is strong. Michigan looks at the ACT more than the SAT. Best of luck to you.</p>

<p>I'd add Wharton and WashU's business schools into the list as well.</p>
