What are my chances for some top business schools?

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

Hello,

I am a Junior this year and just wanted to get an idea of how I will fare with some top tier business schools. (EX: NYU, UT, UVA, UNC, Berkeley, UMich, Cornell)

  • Ethnicity: INDIAN (How much will this affect me?)
  • Household Income: 200000
  • Texas resident, top 4.2% of my class (23/548)
  • Highest SAT I: (2nd time) 2050 (640 CR) (720 Writing) (690 Math)
  • ACT: 33 Composite (31 English) (35 Math) (33 Reading) (33 Science) 23 ON ESSAY (I did horrible, no idea what happened at all)
  • SAT II: Haven't taken any, do I need to?
  • 3.9 Unweighted GPA
  • Taken 10 AP Classes (by end of senior year)
  • Taken 5 PAP Classes
  • Varsity Tennis (captain next year)
  • NHS, NTHS, STUCO
  • BPA (1x advanced to state for video production)
  • DECA (1x advanced to state for Entrepreneurship Innovation Plan)
  • An Independent study class where I'm under the mentorship of a business professional (He went to UT BHP so I know he can write a good rec letter)
  • Part of a marketing team for a local exterior painting company
  • Over 150 volunteer hours

Also, can someone please tell me how much my ACT essay score will hurt me?

Thanks again

I can’t really chance you, but I’d say take a SATII test, preferably Math L2 since you are interested in business.
You have a great list of ECs and stats, and although you are “indian” you shouldn’t worry about race too much because some schools listed are holistic.

Sorry, but you wouldn’t have much of a chance. Your GPA is definitely good enough. however it does seem like your standardized test scores and ECs are a bit weak. You have a bunch of ECs, but not any that stand out. You have a chance at these schools, but don’t expect to get into many/any.
