How is my college list?
how would y'all say my college list is? any suggestions? Feel free to correct me or suggest something. I have my stats listed below for reference.
I felt that for my stats, while they are good, they aren't great so my strategy is to target good state schools for finance as the state schools are typically easier to get into than good private universities.
I'm a senior rn oos in texas, asian.
Gpa : 4.7 weighted, 3.7 unweighted (not ranked, my school only ranks top 10 percent)
Sat :1560, PSAT :1490, national merit semifinalist atm
Ec's :3 years of high school jv tennis and tournaments outside of school, nationals bpa competitor for Advanced Accounting (one year), 30 hours volunteering at a thrift store, got a job at Whataburger since june 2021, member of business club freshman year.
Courseload : 4 ap classes taken in high school (lang, ab, lit, bc)
Ap exams : ap lang - got a 3 (will take lit and bc this year)
Recommendation letters : my ap calc bc teacher said yes and so did my accounting 1 teacher.
UT Austin (Hard target)
USC (reach) included cuz of national merit
Fordham (target) included cuz of national merit
Boston College (hard target)
UMICH (reach)
UNC Chapel Hill (reach)
UVA (reach)
Berkeley (reach)
NYU (reach)
UTD (safety)
TX AM (safety)
Not going to tell you what’s right or wrong, but will list my college stats for reference, and where I ended up:
Lol Fordham is a target but UF is safety
Apply to a different major, nail your first semester then internally transfer
Switching majors is a huge college admissions secret in my opinion. My older brother got into Brown on the nursing track since no guys ever go to Brown to become male nurses and I guess Brown thought that made him unique or whatever. He immediately switched to Econ. Such a finesse.
