<p>Hi! My intended major is economics and intended career path is something finance related, probably investment banking or something to that effect. I've initially looked at SUNY Binghampton, SUNY Buffalo, BU, UMass Amherst, NYU and Columbia although I realize that might be a stretch. I'd like to go to a good economics school in the Northeast, preferably Massachusetts or New York. Are these colleges ok? I really have only just got into the swing of applications, so I'm not sure what are good matches for me. Weather is not an issue and the school doesn't have to have amazing athletic teams. My parents are middle income bracket. </p>
<p>Scores/Grades:
SAT Composite: 2360 (Math 800, Reading 800, Writing 760)
I have a 3.93 GPA (unweighted) at an international high school of around 400 kids in my graduating class. That might go down next year as I am taking a really hard courseload, but we'll see. School does not rank, I think. TOEFL iBT is 115. </p>
<p>AP's - I loved taking APs, and I think I did pretty well: Macroeconomics (5), Microeconomics (5), Calculus BC (5), Chemistry (3), Physics B (5), Literature (5), Euro (5), Biology (4), Computer Science (5)</p>
<p>I did some SATII's because my parents said they looked good for applications and are needed for some colleges (I am not sure which ones they are talking about, the ones I looked at only need normal SAT), but I really didn't take them seriously, to be honest, so might retake in a more mature sitting (??)
Math II: 780
Physics: 710</p>
<p>ECs:
Model United Nations ECOSOC - 3 years
National Honor Society - 2 years
Investment Club - 4 years (favorite)
Varsity soccer - 4 years; captain 3 years
500+ community service hours
Class president (elected last year) </p>
<p>Awards:
High Honor Roll all four years
Mathematics Department award all four years
Social Sciences Department award 2 years
Science department award 2 years
Academic Excellence award all four years
Community Service award</p>
<p>Any advice/pointers would be helpful! Where could I go - where should I apply to - is my list of colleges ok for me?</p>
