Hi,
So I know this site is known for ripping people apart, and since I’m about ready to apply to college I’m ready to go give this thing a go. So I want to study Finance and German in college, and I have been looking for schools that have good programs in both areas. I don’t have an insane resume, but I would still like to think that you don’t have to be a god to get into a good school. These are the schools I’d like to you to chance me for (they are roughly in order by preference):
UPenn (Huntsman program) (I will be applying binding early decisions, so that should hopefully help a little bit If you can think of other schools I can consider, that’d be great too!
Boston U
Georgetown
Northeastern
Notre Dame
Carnegie Mellon
U Michigan Ann Arbor
University of VA
NYU
UT Austin
Southern Methodist U
U Richmond
U South Carolina
Indiana University- Bloomington
