Highschool Rising Senior deciding

Hey guys, I'm Alex and I am going to be a senior in a couple weeks attending an international school in Korea, Korea International School (pretty self explanatory). So because it is time for me to decide the colleges I have to apply, I've been thinking a lot and discussing with graduates and other adults. However, I do not know many people who were in the field of business (many asians do not view business as a reliable field), so I thought about asking you guys for opinions of possible choices. So details: GPA Cumulative Unweighted: 3.75 (Considered higher than most other schools because school is known to be difficult) SAT : 1520 Subject Math 2c: 800 Subject Chem: 770 AP Econ Micro/Macro: 5/5 AP Calc AB: 4 AP Lang: 3 (Sacrificed lang for econ) 2nd place in one business competition but who gives a shit 4 Year varsity for two sports plus captain for one year These are the main academic/school related specs I have. Some schools I've been looking at vary from the options that I think are more of reach schools like Stern, USC, CMU, and also schools like University of Texas Austin and Indiana University. I just wanted to learn more about what academics specs would actually matter in getting accepted to business major and if I have any chances in getting into these schools. Thank you so much and I apologize if this is not an appropriate question (Newbie to the forum).
