Sam asked: Can I Get Into These Business Schools?
Hi, I am a junior at a prestigious public high school in New York (blue ribbon award and all that), and I was wondering if I have a chance at these business schools. I am asking a lot so I really appreciate that you have taken your time to review this question. My top two choices are USC and UT so at the very least please let me know if I have a chance there.
-USC (Marshall)
-University of Texas (McCombs)
-Emory University (Goizeuta)
-University of Virginia (McIntire)
-University of California-Berkeley (Haas)
-University of North Carolina (Kenan-Flagler)
-NYU (Sterns)
-UCLA
-University of Michigan (Ross)
-Indiana University (Kelley)
-Georgetown University (McDonough)
-Cornell University
-Villanova University
-Boston College (Carrol)
-Carnegie Mellon (Tepper)
-University of Richmond (Robbins)
-Lehigh University
-University of Maryland (Smith)
-University of Miami
-UPenn (Wharton)
Here are my credentials:
4.2 weighted GPA
3.6-3.8 unweighted GPA
SAT II for Math 2 (700 +), US History (650 +), Chemistry (maybe)
32 ACT
9 Honor Classes (Biology, Geometry, Chemistry, LA II (sophomore), Algebra 2, US History, Pre-Calculus, LA III (junior), LA IV (senior)
6 AP Classes (Chemistry, US History, Statistics - Junior year, Calculus, European History, Government- Senior year)
Extras:
-President of FBLA chapter at my High School (a nationally-renowned business club, kind of like the MUN of business)
-Placed in the top three in the state for my FBLA competition and competed at Nationals two years in a row.
-Participated in the Fed Challenge club (hyper competitive economics club). Also received a generic recommendation from Ben Bernanke.
-200 hours of volunteering
-Interned at a Pharmaceutical Company (business side of it) and a Marketing Firm during every summer in High School.
-Took a business credit course over one summer and earned 3 college credits.
PS:
-Is USC really in a terrible and dangerous location?
-Is University of Richmond ******?
-I also would like to know how difficult it is to get into a 2 year business program?
-Are there any differences between 2 year and 4 year business programs?
Thanks a lot.
