People here will help, but in general, a quick-and-dirty way to chance yourself for schools is to compare your stats to the school’s mid 50% stat range (available in the school’s CDS or on its web site, although for any special competitive programs you may need to check for another set of stats) and then plug the schools into this matrix based on their selectivity (method stolen from College Kickstart):

Also, very sorry to read about your car accident. That happened to my ex husband in his 20s, and I remember how tough the rehab was.

Best of luck - a few things - not every school on your list has finance undergrad. If you truly want finance and Econ is not finance, you should remove some. It’s the first two although Duke has Financial Econ which may bring some of the finance major.

For chancing, FSU is a safe bet and I think IU too. I’d expect Nova and UF.

The rest are certainly possible. Maybe you squeeze in one but again if you want finance and they don’t offer it, why apply ?

UVA, by the way, is not direct admit. If you’d choose IU over another, say UVA, you can drop it.

good luck.

You might want to fix your title. I think you meant that your 4.0 is unweighted and 4.6 is weighted

shoot you’re right thank you

My impression is that you are a very strong candidate for all of the schools you are applying to, but that you will not get into half of them. I can’t tell you which are in that half.
