<p>I'm considering going to college for a degree in business or a business-related degree, such as finance or economics. I'm a solid student academically (3.95 UW GPA, ACT score of 32, several AP's, 5th in a class of 280), but my lack of extracurriculars will hold me back from getting into top schools, such as Wharton and the other Ivys. My extracurriculars are NHS Student Council my Senior Year (I'm not yet a Senior yet, but it is ridiculously easy to get on to Stuco), and volunteering. I live in Michigan, so I am considering going to Ross @Umich. I'm also considering going for a dual degree in Engineering or Computer Science. What are some other good colleges that I have a shot at getting in?</p>
<p>What can you afford? Tbh, it would be very hard to do much better than Michigan for Finance and Engineering.</p>
<p>I’m not too concerned about costs. I should be able to afford most In-state public Universities. As for good Private Universities, I would get decent financial aid. I’m open to taking out loans.</p>
<p>YOU can only take out loans up to the Stafford levels ($27K total for undergrad). Another other loans would need to be taken out by your parents or cosigned. Most people on these boards highly recommend you not go above the Stafford loan levels. UMich will cost $26-28K/year in-state. Have you actually had the finance talk with your parents yet?</p>
