What kind of colleges should I be looking at?

What’s instate for you? (NJ due to Italian being offered… just trying to guess, it’s not offered in many states/areas).

Your grades aren’t stellar but they aren’t so horrible and you have good course rigor.

Assuming a good SAT score (1200+):

Penn State: apply September 1st, check “summer session” and “DUS” (you can’t start in accounting right away anyway, and DUS is where everyone starts, but checking “accounting” makes things harder). Do this exactly and you’ll have a shot. One big problem with Penn State is costs: it’s 45K and don’t expect any financial aid beside 5.5K in federal loans. Can your parents afford that much out of pocket? Talk to them and ask them how much they can afford (specific amount or range).

USF and UAlabama= you have a shot. Apply as soon as the app is up on line. If you like USF apply to FIU and FAU. At FIU, you can even apply to the Honors College.

Rutgers will be tough for accounting. Look at other colleges with this major.
I think SUNY Albany would be a good addition to your list, as well as Duquesne, UCincinnati, and Ithaca. Bloomsburg, PA would be a cheap safety.

Don’t apply to ASU. Arizona has a two-tier system: Barrett (honors) students get excellent facilities and opportunities due to being excellent, dedicated students, and all the others have to struggle in too-large classes, online classes, etc. You could apply to Barrett but I don’t think you’d qualify.

Baruch: prepare for your SAT well (plan to retake in any case) and your odds are decent. It’s an amazing choice for accounting but… it’s strictly commuter. You will NOT have a college experience, you will NOT get to know your classmates, hang out, etc. It’s quite hard to make friends.
