Top targets: UMich (Ross only, not liberal arts), UVA, NYU (Stern only)

Semi or regional targets: Penn state, USC, UT, UGA, SMU, BC, Villanova, IU (IBW only)

Tier 1b semi targets with good amount of OCR: Emory, BYU

Others non targets

Hard to say without your stats. Which of these are reach schools for you? I'd cut some of the random schools you wouldn't actually go to and add more targets/semi targets - Georgetown, ND, Vanderbilt, Northwestern, UNC business school

 

Thank you I have a 3.7 GPA and 1450 SAT(trying again for 1500)

I hear Rutgers ,uiuc, Texas a&m, uni of Minnesota are recruited regionally
