<p>My class rank is in the top 10% of my class
SATs are 1330/1980 (CR: 610; M: 720; W: 650)
GPA is 3.9 (weighted) on 4.0 scale</p>
<p>I'm not entirely sure what my unweighted GPA is, but I think it's around 3.7 or 3.8. I took AP Chem in 10th grade, AP Calc in 11th, AP English currently in 12th, and I might be taking a class at Dartmouth (I go to high school just next door; we are affiliated) in the Spring as well.</p>
<p>Debate team 11th & 12th (captain 12th and numerous awards), varsity baseball 10th-12th (possible captain this year), 2 years of work experience and counting, in my school's Honors Program (write a ~25 page thesis, 100hrs of community service over HS career, etc.), varsity football & state championship in 10th, math team in 11th, and I went on a service learning trip to the DR for a week this year.</p>
<p>I have already applied to:
Bentley
Boston U
Bryant
Fordham (accepted)
Northeastern (deferred)
Stonehill (accepted)
UConn
UMass Amherst (accepted +$10k renewable scholarship)
Notre Dame</p>
<p>I'm looking to see if there's any other schools that I should consider applying to before 2013 rolls around, ending most deadlines for applications.</p>
<p>Location isn't a major factor, but I would like to go to a college/university that is able to offer me good internship opportunities (hence the Boston/New York theme in my already-applied-to schools).</p>
<p>I'm really open to all suggestions (target/reach schools are really what I'm looking for).</p>
<p>Thank you for taking the time to help me! Cheers! :)</p>
<p>Me and you are in the same boat. You have a little better scores than me but we are looking for the same thing. I suggest Emory or WUSTL. They are reaches, but great schools. Also, look into villanova.</p>
<p>I second Greenapp; you should consider Babson College. Claremont McKenna College offers some dual-degree programs related to economics, accounting, and the like.</p>
<p>I’ll check out Babson some, seeing as it’s apparently a pretty good match for me - how does it compare to somewhere like Fordham, where I’ve already gotten accepted? Better or worse program/internship opportunities?</p>
<p>Fordham is a very solid school. I would recommend it over Babson simply because the curriculum and academic offerings are more well-rounded (in both business and liberal arts) as oppose to Babson which seems almost solely focused on entrepreneurship. The finance and accounting program at Fordham are stronger as well.</p>
<p>Given that you’re applying to Notre Dame, Babson/Bentley, Fordham, BU, and Northeastern, I’m surprised you aren’t considering the Carroll School at Boston College. We have an excellent undergrad b-program (esp. for finance and accounting), and the school has a Boston/NYC alumni network. Might be a slight reach with your scores, but definitely worth applying for IMO.</p>
<p>I think your list is solid. My S applied to many of the same schools – he ended up going to Fordham (and had a great experience) and is now in grad school at Notre Dame. I would agree that BC is worth looking at, perhaps also Villanova & Lehigh</p>
<p>My only quarrel with BC is that they seem to require two SAT Subject Tests to be considered for admission, which I haven’t completed. The deadline is midnight tomorrow. Am I reading this wrong? Do they not require two SAT II’s?</p>
<p>I’m beginning to think I may stick with the list of schools I’ve already put together. In retrospect, it is a fairly solid list as is.</p>
<p>I know no one here has suggested it, but would NYU be a good match for my interests/scores? I always thought it would be too much of a reach but I was browsing around and found it wasn’t as much of a reach as I though (yet it still is a bit).</p>
<p>Campus is removed from the city of Baltimore but access is relatively easy. Will not offer the same city feeling of BU, Northeastern, or Fordham. </p>
<p>Campus was less sprawling than Stonehill but less cramped than Northeastern. I am guessing it would be a target or safety for you—definitely not a reach, but I am a little surprised you were deferred from Northeastern. You have a solid list. Good luck!</p>
<p>You thought you didn’t have a chance at NYU but you did at Notre Dame? Little confused by that.</p>
<p>Definitely apply to Indiana University - Bloomington. UT Austin and Boston College (may be reach), but Minnesota and maybe Georgia could be ok too.</p>
<p>I think you have a good list. Adding IU-Bloomington and Minnesota are good ideas. Having been deferred by Northeastern makes it hard to be optimistic about Notre Dame or places like BC or Michigan.</p>
<p>Be careful of UMichigan - it is an excellent school but they have few direct admits to the business school - most students have to apply to Ross after freshman year and it is very competitive to get in. I know a few people who went there and ultimately did not get into the b-school - a couple transferred out and others stayed and took a major outside of business. So unless you are lucky enough to be a direct admit, it is a bit risky to go there if you are certain you want to major in business.</p>
<p>Since this pertains to the discussion, does anyone know about getting into Emory’s undergrad b-school. There is NO direct admits as freshman as all incoming freshmen apply undecided to Emory College. I am strongly considering Emory and was wondering what it usually takes to get into the business school.</p>
