<p>Impossible to give suggestions unless you say what you want in a school (size, location, atmposphere, etc)</p>

<p>RB, you gave us your stats (and they are good), but you said nothing of what you are looking for. Answer some of those questions for us:</p>

<p>1) What is your intended major?</p>

<p>2) Do you want to be in a rural, suburban or urban setting?</p>

<p>3) Do you have a geographic preference?</p>

<p>4) How would you describe yourself solcially? Do you like to chill out with friends or do you want to party every night…or maybe a healthy balance?</p>

<p>5) Are you liberal, conservative or middle of the road?</p>

<p>6) Do you want a school that is academically intense or one that is laid back?</p>

<p>7) Do you want a college that is tiny, mid-sized or large? Or does the size of the college not matter to you?</p>

<p>8) This is a little early, but do you have any professional and/or graduate school aspirations?</p>

<p>9) Are you a fan of college sports? Do you want a school that has a lot of spirit?</p>

6

<p>not sure if you’re male or female, but lots of kids around here going to London for a summer internship at a stock brokerage…sounds like you guys are going to have a blast…</p>

<p>UMich sounds like a good match
Duke, UVA: as reaches</p>

<p>I would say Vanderbilt, but they don’t have a business school per se…</p>

7

<p>Just an FYI - colleges consider Math I and Math II as one “test”, since it’s the identical subject; unless you think you will do significantly better on it, there’s no reason for you to take Math II.</p>

8

<p>USC sounds perfect.</p>

9

<p>LEHIGH or Carnegie (Tepper) if you can get in</p>

10

<p>Boston College
Cornell University
Duke University
Georgetown University
Northwestern University
University of California-Berkeley
University of Michigan-Ann Arbor
University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill
University of Notre Dame
University of Pennsylvania
University of Southern California
University of Texas-Austin
University of Virginia</p>

<p>u mich, duke, UVA, UNC, BC, USC- idk if you want small or big but i agree with above posters</p>

12

<p>Duke, Dartmouth, and UPenn sound like good reaches. Duke sounds like a perfect fit for you, IMHO. </p>

<p>Tulane would be a good match-safety.</p>

13

<p>Seriously, if you want a good business program, and a college with a good amount of partying, go to Lehigh. The size is a good feel too.</p>

14

<p>Duke/Northwestern/Vanderbilt/USC/Wake/BC</p>

<p>In terms of business placement and a social student body: Duke, Dartmouth, Penn, Cornell, Stanford, Princeton, Northwestern, Michigan, UNC, Georgetown.</p>
