Which Undergarduate Business Schools to apply to

Hi,

I'm a community college student and will be graduating next year with a 3.88 gpa. My extra curriculars aren't as strong as they should be but I'm working on those. I'm majoring in business and have a goal to work in the finance industry in nyc after receiving my bachelor's. What I'm needing help with however, is which business schools to apply to. I have a few in mind but I would really appreciate any suggestions. Being that I'm located in California, I would prefer to attend college here but I'm also aware that there are better fiance programs back east.

Et eaque fugiat necessitatibus magnam nihil. Maiores officiis saepe cumque ea saepe. Doloremque animi et aut quae et. Ab ducimus quo non.

Veniam consequatur veniam recusandae harum. Eum molestiae harum et velit. Sed ducimus blanditiis sed repudiandae. Neque nesciunt in ut vitae commodi.

Veniam possimus quia enim officiis accusantium. Magnam perferendis doloribus doloremque voluptatum voluptates dolorem.

Ipsa eius et perferendis vel enim atque. Et eius sapiente incidunt eligendi. A molestiae rerum ut id reprehenderit. Adipisci qui architecto placeat.
