I applied to numerous schools from my current community college in MA, so far I am 5-1-1 with 9 schools to still hear back from. so far I have been admitted to UMass Amherst Isenberg, Babson, BU SOM, Northeastern D'Amore-McKim school, and UVA McIntire. waitlisted at Vanderbilt, and not accepted at Penn CAS. i still have yet to hear from 3 of my reaches Dartmouth, Amherst, and Duke, and my personal favorite NYU Stern. of the schools i have been accepted to, how would you rank them... i.e. which should be my current number one. i would love to go to IB and then to a HF down the road. I may come off as ignorant on this subject because i am the first in my family to want to go into finance (they are all doctors or work in healthcare). if i am wrong or misinformed on something please correct me without calling me an idiot. thank you in advance.

I know this is the wrong section but I have attached my resume not for critique, but just incase anyone was interested.

UVA >>> the rest. Of your yet to hear back schools, I'd only take Dartmouth over UVA.
Agree with WorldStar. I would add Duke to the list to schools to take over UVA if you get accepted as well.
I agree with @"WorldStarHipHop.com that UVA is the best of the schools you were accepted to. Since you want to do IB and HF, I would also consider Duke and Stern ahead of UVA for finance if you were accepted. Dartmouth should be your top target if you got in there. (Full disclosure, I'm currently in the transfer process as well, and I was denied to UPenn today like you.)
wait, transfer details are out?
Dartmouth is early may, they wont say the exact date though.
any idea if the rest of the ivys released information?
Penn: came out today at 3 Brown: sometime next week (I heard Monday or Tuesday but I could be wrong) Cornell: Depends on what school you applied to, but you could have heard back already Harvard, Yale, Columbia, Dartmouth: IDK didn't apply to them Princeton: Doesn't take transfers
I know you're not looking for a resume critique, but it needs a TON of work. If you want feedback, let me know.
Given what you have now, agree with everyone else on the best option you currently have is UVA. But, I would say Dartmouth> Duke/Stern> UVA> Amherst> everything else
Wow no love for Amherst here. I guess in terms of pure placement for finance careers in wouldn't be at the top, but it terms of quality of the school I would argue it is equally as good if not a better overall school than Dartmouth. Amherst and Williams compete with the likes of H/Y/P in terms of top schools.
Anyways the way I would rank it Dartmouth/Amherst> Duke> UVA > Stern > Vandy
Pick a school that will allow you to get into Finance if you want, but that will also give you other opportunities to grow.
To be honest I'm biased because I'm down on Stern, its expensive as anything to live in NYC as an undergrad and if you really really want to live in a city... guess what after four years you'll be able to spend the rest of your life in NYC. Stern limits you to finance and the competition is fierce Because everyone is after the same thing.
Is Amherst recruiting is that good? I'm not familiar with Amherst's placement, I guess I should have considered Amherst. I agree if OP wants finance, Stern would be better than UVA
For a high school student the content of your résumé is fine, but the formatting needs a lot of work. Also, we still know who you are since your website is your real name.
NEVER have longer than a one page résumé for starters
Amherst college is, but I believe OP is talking about UMass Amherst which is certaintly not as good.
im already into UMass amherst but i also applied to Amherst college. Amherst college sends 42% of Ugrad to Financial services, 42% of the entire ugrad class, not just econ or some specific major.
