<p>I am not a URM...recruit....legacy....</p>
<p>I am a resident of Texas</p>
<p>The University of Minnesota has a good business school that you would have a good chance at getting into.</p>
<p>Thanks for the reply.</p>
<p>how about you give us some help by telling us about what you want in a college experience, i.e., size, location, etc etc etc</p>
<p>it doesnt matter.</p>
<p>bump (10 char) :)</p>
<p>Business schools for you that I'd suggest you consider:</p>
<p>University of Texas, Austin-slight reach
USC-reach
Indiana-match
Purdue-match
Illinois (Urbana-Champaign)-match
Minnesota-match
Wisconsin-match to slight reach
NYU-reach
Fordham-match
Michigan-reach
Emory-slight reach to reach
Penn State-slight reach
Michigan State-match
Miami (Ohio)-match
Pittsburgh-match
Bentley College-match
Oregon-safety
and if you are Mormon, or don't mind going to an all-Mormon school--Brigham Young is a match</p>
<p>The USNW ranking for top undergraduate business schools is:
1. UPenn--no chance
2. MIT--no chance
3. UC Berkeley-no chance
3. Michigan (given above)-reach
5. Carnegie-Mellon-reach
5. NYU (given above)-reach
5. UNC-Chapel Hill
5. Univ of Texas-Austin (given above)-slight reach
9. USC (given above)-reach
9. Univ of Virginia-big reach (out-of state)
11, Indiana Univ (given above)-match
12. Cornell-no chance
12. Purdue (given above)-match
12. Illinois (given above)-match
12. Minnesota (given above)-match
12. Wisconsin (given above)-match to slight reach
12. Washington Univ in St. Louis-reach</p>
<p>On the Business Week ranking of undergraduate business schools, the following additional schools are ranked:
3. Notre Dame-reach
5. Emory-slight reach to reach
8. Brigham Young-match (but 98% Mormons)
13. Georgetown-big reach
17. Miami Univ (Ohio) (given above)-match
18. Lehigh Univ-reach</p>
<p>P.S. My son's statistics were similar to yours (slightly lower GPA, slightly higher test scores--IB program throughout)--and he's starting at Indiana Univ this August (declared finance major).</p>
<p>(Oh, and for those who are from the Boston area and want to stay there, besides Bentley College, those people can also look at Boston University and Boston College--both slight reaches).</p>
<p>u have such a weerd gpa between teh UW and W....</p>
<p>Thanks guys! :)</p>
<p>chickenboi8008: my school uses a different gpa scale. We DONTuse the standard A=4, B=3, C=2.....</p>
<p>what would your GPA be on the standard scale then?</p>
<p>like a 3.65</p>
<p>Anyone else?</p>
<p>just curious, but how do most colleges look at GPA? My school does it on a 4.5 scale where A+=4.5, A=4.0, B+=3.5 and so on, but all classes are also honors. AP classes start at 5.5. Will colleges look at GPA on a 4.0 scale despite honors and AP considerations?</p>
<p>Most colleges do it where an A+, A, and A- is a 4; B+, B, B- is a 3, etc. They will consider course load but they won't typically weigh your GPA because you took challenging classes, they expect that out of students.</p>
<p>excel, it's really weird that you are top 6% and have a 3.4. Colleges will notice that and take into consideration. However, 27 ACT may eliminate you from some schools, but still get into some awfully good ones. Here's some I think you have a chance at;</p>
<p>REACH: Texas, BYU, Wisconsin, Illinois, Maryland
MATCH: Miami OH, Penn State, Ohio State, Texas A&M, Boston U, Georgia , Syracuse
SAFETY: Indiana, Minnesota, Michigan State, Iowa, Purdue, Baylor</p>
<p>Oh, and the reason Texas is a REACH is because i'm thinking for B-School admissions, I know the cut off is around 5% and your at 6%, but for the general school I believe you're in.</p>
<p>well, with the way you said to do gpa mine would be a 3.65</p>
<p>at our school we use W GPA to do ranks. My W is 4.13</p>
