Hi everyone!
I feel as if I should apply to a couple more schools just as a safety/ to see where I can go. I’m looking for a more-prestigious/well-known school. I got into the University of Iowa, where I’m from, and applied to UCLA, UCSD, and for some reason, I decided to apply to UCB even though a slim to none chance. I was thinking about applying at NYU and GW for business, but I am afraid my stats are too low. Please suggest schools I would fit in at!
GPA: 3.56
ACT Composite: 30
Ethnicity: White
Gender: Female
Majors: Economics and Spanish
Minor: Russian
APHUG: 4
AP Spanish: 3
APLC: IP
AP STATS: IP
Intro to BUS102 (Dual credit): A
Dual credit Spanish: IP
I’ve taken four AP classes, 3 honors classes, and two dual-credit (through a community college) classes. I also have a language credit from the Concordia Language Villages (summer foreign language camp).
EC: Competitive All-Star cheerleading, varsity cheerleading, show choir, jazz choir, golf, bowling, and I work two part-time jobs currently. I also attended the Russian language village of Concordia for seven years as a camper, participating in the high school credit program, and I have worked there for the last three years. I am an NHS member, and I also volunteer at the local humane society.
I speak both Russian and Spanish fluently and I am a first-generation American.
My essay is very strong, at 650 words. I was directly admitted to the University of Iowa’s Tippie College of Business, a fairly good business school, which only admits 900 freshmen annually. Please let me know as I can’t wait until the spring!
