<p>Hello-
I am a high school junior with some concerns about my college admission. First, I will start with the fact that I am greatly interested in business and finance. I am a white male from Colorado, with an annual income of around $60,000. <em>Will be the 2nd child in college.
Weighted GPA: 4.0 (by the end of 2nd semester Senior year, 4.14)
UWGPA: 3.53 (By the end of 2nd semester senior year, 3.58)
My grades have had a steady upward trend in every semester throughout high school.</em>
I go to a high school given the rank of "A" by coloradoschoolgrades.com
I rank in the top 25% in my class.
My high school is one of 40 in the nation that offers a High School of Business. This is a program in which a student may take a certain track of courses rough out high school and then receive a diploma from a high school of business. I am enrolled in this program, and have received "With Distinction" recognition on all tests.
Have not taken then SAT or ACT yet.*
PLAN: 29, projected 32 on the ACT
PSAT: 188 (I know, poor...)
Not many AP's. Taking AP Lit this year, AP Macroeconomics next year.
Senior Year Course Load:
Principles of Business Strategies/Business Management
Marketing 3 (highest offered)
AP Macroeconomics
Business Internship (At local Credit Union)
Senior Literature and Composition (if fulfills my communications requirement, which AP would not. I do not have room to take the communications credit on top of this course load)
Advanced Physics
AP Calculus AB</p>
<p>I have taken through Spanish 4.5 (this is focused of conversation and composition, and is offered along with Spanish 5. I do not have room in my schedule for AP Spanish 5).</p>
<p>EC's:*
Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA, 1st place in districts, 7th place in state for E-Business).
Distributive Education Clubs of America (DECA, 3rd place at districts, 1st place at districts, 4th place at state for Financial Services Team Decision Making Role Play. 4th place at state for written International Business Plan. Qualified for nationals In both events) Running for DECA VP next year, 70% chance of getting it. If not, treasurer.*
Spanish Honor Society
Applied for National Honor Society (most likely will get in)
Baseball (shoulder surgery preventing play this year)</p>
<p>What kinds of schools do you think are a good fit for me? I know that I will want an advanced degree, either MBA or MSF. Right now I am looking at the University of Denver, primarily for their 5 year BS/MBA program. Just for kicks, what do you think my chances are for a school like Wharton or NYU? What other schools sound appropriate for me?*</p>
<p>Thankyou very much for your time. My apologies for the long post.</p>
