Hi guys, I am currently an upcoming High school senior and am interested in managing money. I currently invest 5000 dollars of my own money that i have saved. I have a 3.3 GPA currently (Yes i know it is low. Bad freshman and sophomore year) at a competitive private high school and am taking only a few AP courses. I am Hoping to get a 2k on my SAT but I may not be able to break out of the low 1900 range based on my studying and practice tests that I have been doing. My essay is really original and I know that it will be probably the biggest standout on my college application. I can't tell you the topic because it will reveal too much but just understand that it will be a very strong point. I have great extracurriculars (leader and founder of investment club and I am currently doing a summer internship with a fund manager in town. I have learned a lot from it. My recommendations are going to come from the business teacher at my school who taught me economics, marketing, and hotel business class and from my Math teacher. I will also be getting a recommendation from a close friend of ours who is the Senior vice President at a BB firm. (think WFC, JPM)
1.What do you think the best schools I should apply to are. I know I won't get in to all of them. What do you think the chances of schools like Bentley,Babson, IUBloomington, and places like that accepting me. I don't really know much about any other schools that seem reasonable. Anyone here have any experience at these schools?
- I also would like some advice on what the best major for me would be when breaking into the field. I really like Economics but I keep hearing about how math/computer/engineer sciency majors are becoming more sought after. Also I hear Finance is a good major as well.
Thanks for your help and sorry for the length. I have been reading a few WSO forum posts lately. Hope you guys can help. If you have any questions feel free to ask. Would like to hear your opinions.
There goes another childhood.
With your GPA we believe you do have life
Why don't you just do your best and aim for the best college that works for you? We can't tell you where you'll get in, we know almost nothing about you.
Come back in 7 months when you have your acceptence letters and then this board should be able to tell you which school is best. Second come back in 2 years when you have to solidly declare your major. Odds are you are going to change your major at least once and it might turn out you despise finance. Planning ahead is great and all but anything said now is just conjecture.
thank you, you are right.

Dude, you need to focus on Prom.
