<p>I am currently a junior in high school. My GPA is about 3.4 and my SAt is around 1900 but i want to get it up. I want to major in business at a college somewhere in the northeast. What are my options?</p>
<p>Pennsylvania State University- University Park is a great option for your stats. Smeal is a phenomenal undergrad b-school.</p>

<p>Boston College (Reach)
Boston University (Match)
Northeastern (High Match)
Penn State
Marist (Match)
Fordham (Match)</p>
<p>Babson
Bentley
Clark</p>
<p>Any AACSB school, including Wharton or Cornell Dyson, the only Ivy undergrad business schools. They stand out. But they are reaches. </p>
<p>And if you do “get it up”, these may be other options–</p>
<p>Villanova, Lehigh (reach), Bucknell (reach), several SUNY’s, BU, BC, etc.</p>
<p>Agree with lots of prior suggestions: Villanova, Bucknell, Babson, Bentley, possibly BU. BC definite reach but something to work towards. Also suggest Fairfield and Fordham. A lot depends on what type of school you’re looking for (urban/suburban/rural and size) and what state you’re from for flagships.</p>
<p>It is difficult to judge a 3.4 out of context w/o knowing the OP’s school’s profile, but my initial instinct is that a lot of the suggested schools would be reaches. Bentley, Fordham and Loyola Maryland (Sellinger School of Business) should be achievable, but BC, BU, NEU, Lehigh, Bucknell & Villanova strike me as reaches. I don’t know Marist or Penn State but think the OP’s stats would make Marist almost an easy match.</p>
<p>Northeastern recalculates GPA using their own system of +.5 for an honors class and +1.0 for an AP class, so if you have a number of either, your GPA may be more competitive for admissions. </p>
<p>Have you looked at Stonehill College in MA? I was much more impressed than I had expected to be, and it would be an easy match also. Good luck to you!</p>
