What College should I go to?

Hi Monkeys, I am in high school with a 3.5 GPA. Looking at what colleges I should apply for. I know I am not smart enough to get into a top school/target. I love California weather and would love to go there for college. I also would not mind going to NYC so I am trying for figure out what college gives me the best chance in high finance. 

University of Minnesota 

University of San Diego 

Baruch College 

University of Wisconsin

NYU- early action (reach)

UT-Austin(reach)

SMU

Chapman University 

Loyola Los Angeles 

Tuition will not play a factor. If you have any other colleges I should apply for let me know!

 

I’ve got a few questions. Where do you want to work after graduation? Rural, urban, or city? Big school or small school? Girl or guy? Did you take the act?  
 

Are you from Minnesota? If so, what school conference? (Really only interested if it’s lake conference + Orono, imac, or a CDH/BSM/STM/Vis/hill Murray type school. I don’t want to dox but I’m from MN so I’m familiar with the schools and am familiar with their representation on the street)

 

Bro don’t pick a school because it’s good for ib, you’ll be fucking miserable. And do you know your class rank. Gpas are hella inflated these days at most schools so a 3.5 at many schools will be in the bottom 1/4th. A school like Wesleyan which you might get into will have a different vibe than the U or Wisco.

 

Just get into the best possible school you can get into.
