Should I apply ED to NYU/Boston College
Hello! I am a High School Senior from Long Island, NY and I am looking for a career in Finance and Investment Banking. I am currently in the college application process and was just hoping I could get some advice on my current situation. I've applied to a few schools so far but I am considering applying to a reach school under early decision. Firstly, here are my stats, (I know they're not that good):
85.37 UW GPA, 91.7 W GPA, IB Diploma Candidate with some other honors and AP classes, 1350 SAT, Pretty decent leadership roles in extracurriculars, and a pretty good essay.
Secondly, here is where I have applied to:
Fordham (Accepted), SUNY UBuffalo (Accepted), CUNY Baruch, Penn State, Bentley, Adelphi, SUNY Binghamton, St. Johns
I plan on also possibly applying to UW Madison and Ohio
Now my dilemma is I am considering applying to either Boston College or NYU as an ED 2 candidate. My preference is NYU however with such a slim acceptance rate and my grades not being the best would it be better to just go for Boston College which seems slightly easier to get into (BC is still a great school that I would like to go to).
Also if I, by the grace of God, got accepted to BC, would it be worth it over the other schools I applied to? Only asking because Baruch would be 3k a year plus rent compared to like 35k a year at many of the other schools.
Thanks for any help! Also, this is my first post here so sorry if I violated any guidelines or posted in the wrong section.
