What colleges should I apply to?

College Search & Selection
1

Hi guys,
I’m a student in California who was planning on applying to only UC and CSU.
I moved from a different country so I do not know that much about private schools in U.S.
Can you guys recommend me some great private colleges related to business and economics?
Also, what is my chance of getting into UC?

Here is a little bit of info about me :

Permanent Resident

UC GPA :4.31
W GPA : 4.19
Unweighted : 3.90
ACT : 32 (33 Superscore)
SAT Subject : Korean 800, Math II 730

EC’s:
Library employee
Library volunteer
CSF Officer
Tennis Player
Church Volunteer
CSF life long member (4 years)
JV Tennis Captain of the year

Moved to the states a couple years ago, I have a lot of stories that I can talk about.

If you guys could recommend me some safety schools and also some great well known schools that I have a chance of getting into, that would be amazing. Thanks!

These analyses can be useful for reviewing economics programs:

A search for concentrated business programs would be better approached with different resources, however.

My favorite lists are the ones at College Transitions Dataverse. Can’t link because there’s a blog on their site, but easy to Google. They have several lists for business related majors.

If you need money, also look up the school in the College Board Big Future site. When you get to the school page, click on “paying” and then “financial aid by the numbers.”

USC has a very good undergrad business school on the west coast. Based on your post, I assume you are looking to stay out west.
