<p>Good for all except for Stern and Berkeley. </p>
<p>Berkeley is a GPA whore, so your stats wouldn’t really cut it, but luckily, it’s in the stage of attracting more international students due to budget problems. Your SATs aren’t that impressive too. If you can improve that part a little bit, you may get lucky at Berkeley.</p>
<p>Somewhat subpar stats for cal, USC, g-town and stern. Solid ECs though. I second RML in highlighting Cal’s desperation. They will probably take you for the international student tuition money. USC applications are up 20%, and admit rates are expected to decrease as well. But I mean if you happen to have a solid rec (from say, a respectable alumni), a very stellar essay, and perhaps a trojan relative (perhaps even a cousin or something), then I’d say you’re good.</p>
<p>ECs pretty spread out, thats good. GPA is good, SAT on par. Since you’re international, going to be a bit harder for u to get in. You’ll get into atleast USC, UCLA. Other 3 have really good business schools so idk. You probably could get into 1 of those.</p>

<p>Haas and Stern are the better business schools. Stern will be hard to get in with your stats. So really to get in these two schools, you will likely have to enter Cal/NYU CAS first, then prove yourself there (3.6-3.7 GPA) then apply for an internal transfer. The thing is though that it still isn’t very easy to get in, as a lot of people attempt this route. You better have a back-up major. Marshall is very solid for undergrad as well, it is more likely that you will be admitted directly (of course, contingent on the factors I mentioned before that should offset your somewhat lackluster stats). You won’t be as stressed about your GPA here because you have already been admitted, no back up plan needed. Of course you will need to maintain a high GPA for grad school. I’m not sure how G-town’s business program compares to the others, but UCLA doesn’t even have undergrad business.</p>
i read usc acceptance rate might fall to 17% and that stats may become on par with cornell’s</p>
