Aspiring Pre Dental and Business Administration. Middle income. 3.7 GPA UW, 4.3 W. 500 ppl class. Aiming for Northwestern. In state student

Target - I’ll agree.

Listen, you only need one school to accept you. And it must be affordable. If you’re going for dentistry, you have to budget for many years - and it won’t be cheap (dental school). Where you go won’t matter.

For business, it could impact - but there’s a ton of b schools you can get in with your stats - good ones starting in the mid 20s all in.

Since you need $25K, you might add Alabama (Culverhouse) - you’ll be mid-20s and Mississippi State. UAH and Ole Miss are others…with your current scores, that gives you assured affordability at your budget.

In state, you can see schools like S Illinois…or just North - Central Michigan.

The reality is neither NU or UIUC are assured - so find the assured and affordable - those are more important that the targets/reaches - because you need a home no matter what.

So spend time on those - knowing you’ll try for UIUC and NW.
