What are some good fits for me?

<p>Hey everyone. I'm finishing up my Junior Year so as you all know its time to find the right colleges. In my mind I have some ideal schools to look after but taking a step back looking at my list it seems pretty thin and im having problems finding realistic chance schools that i would actually like to attend</p>

<p>so.. here are some stats and such and id appreciate it if anyone could post some thoughts on it</p>

<p>I go to a Top 200 ( according to the newsweek article) NY suburb public school and I am not a URM</p>

<p>GPA: 4.0 unweighted/ like 4.3 weighted</p>

<p>SAT: 2040: I am retaking it in June and am certain that i can do better.I tihnk the 2100-2250 range is attainable.</p>

<p>SATII's: 680 U.S History, 690 Math 690 Bio ( retaking both to try to get them a little bit higher)
APs: 4 on U.S History. This year I am taking 6 AP's, next year I will be taking another 4</p>

<p>My Courseload is the hardest available in my school</p>

<p>Rank: school doesnt rank but im on high honor roll/national honor society and i assume top 10/class of 420</p>

<p>Prospective Major: Economics/Business/Finance</p>

</ul>

<p>Schools that I have in mind ( and are probably reaccches) are </p>

<ul>
<li>UPenn Econ or Wharton</li>
<li>NYU Stern</li>
<li>Carnegie Mellon</li>
</ul>

<p>I need help finding more schools that are Reaches to aspire to, Matches, and Safeties</p>

<p>they dont have to be necessarily strong in business undergrad but i would prefer it</p>

<p>thanks</p>

<p>to the top</p>

<p>BU's business school maybe?</p>

<p>is it any good</p>

<p>Your incredible EC's won't outweight your worse than average SATs. If you had better SATs you can get into Wharton hands down</p>

<p>no me gusta el SAT haha</p>

<p>I really don't think your SAT scores are terrible. If you can prep and get them up some - great, but you'll still be able to get into very good colleges as it stands now.</p>

<p>UMich has a very nice undergrad business program, although probably a step (or two) down from Wharton. It used to be you had to apply to it when you were already a freshman at Umich, but as of next year they are are opening it up to incoming freshman (or at least that is my understanding of it).</p>

<p>It would help if you gave some more specific information on the kinds of colleges you are interested in. What locations are interested in? Urban/Rural/ECT.? Is Money going to be an issue? Do you want a strong greek life? What kind of overall in enviroment are you looking for? Just giving your stats make it hard to give good advice.</p>
