My List of Schools

Hey guys, So basically I'm applying to undergrad schools this year and will be applying for the school of business in some schools. Can you guys go over my stats and see if this is a good list and suggest some additional schools? I'm not asking for a chance thread, just some helpful suggestions for schools to add:

Race - Indian State - NC UW GPA - 3.87 W GPA - 4.45 out of 5

AP - 15 by end of senior year, Honors - 10, Regular - 4 3 B's - (2 in AP and 1 Regular) (2 Freshman Year, 1 Sophomore Year) Everything else is an A SAT - 1490

Tons of extra curriculars, state level leadership positions in TSA association, app state Martha guy business summer institute, ton of volunteer positions (300 hours over 3 years), DECA State Finalist, etc...

MY LIST OF SCHOOLS:

BC VILLANOVA FORDHAM NYU CORNELL, BROWN, DARTMOUTH (I doubt I have a chance at these schools) IU KELLY UNC Chapel Hill, Wake Forest (only because it's in state;doesn't help for NY BB/EB IB) COLGATE NORTHWESTERN TOP NESCAC'S GEORGETOWN UVA NOTRE DAME MICHIGAN OLIN

I made this list so that the schools I apply to offer the BEST OCR/ALUMNI BASE to NY BB/EB IB depending on my academic stats as well. Please add schools that will be a perfect match to my stats

Thanks again

Tbh, so many students underestimate themselves. Yes you're indian but it's all about how u individualize your self to admissions. I'd say go for ivy leagues as well as UC Berkeley. Ik some people who last minute applied to ivies thinkign they weren't gonna get in but still got in and i also know some friends who deeply regretted not even trying for ivies. If you don't at least give it a shot, you'll go on never knowing what doors you possibly closed yourself to.

 

nah too many students overestimate themselves. competitiveness at american universities is on a whole different level. ivies would be a reach for this guy

 
"MoneyisHappiness" I was wondering what I'm lacking for liberal arts admission

It's not that you lack for liberal arts admissions its that you admitted yourself that Brown would be a stretch, and even if you got in there just isnt much of a network of those guys in finance. I think you have a higher chance at getting and, and achieving your career goals at the other 2 schools I mentioned

 

middlebury- their placement is astounding relative to the overall class size

 

Be a phoenix, bro. University of Phoenix online affords you the flexibility to work towards a PhD while working a day job expressing dog anal glands as a dog groomer.

 

I thought Olin's placement was phenomenal and that Nova is an upcoming school that has increasing presence on the street. In addition to this, I'm just using Fordham as a safety. Would you agree with this or are my statements wrong?
