Hi, I’ve been scanning through as much information as I can come across as to what colleges I should plan on applying for and have a chance at getting into. First here’s a bit of background info:

3.6 unweighted gpa, 4.3 weighted gpa
13/455 in class
International Baccalaureate Programme
700 verbal/690 math/610 writing on first sitting for SAT
Decent extracurriculars (sports, NHS, tutoring, community service, leadership in academic studies)

I’m currently considering the Barrett Honors College with WP Carey Business at ASU as a primary choice as it’s instate for me, and I’ll likely get a full ride there. However, I’m curious if I have better options out of state that I could have a chance at getting into; specifically, USC, or Haas/Wharton (a bit out there I know). For a specific degree, I’m leaning toward Management with an emphasis on preparing for a technology oriented job (intel/microsoft/ibm sort of thing) but I’m still undecided. So any advice as to where I should be looking, or maybe what I could do to improve my profile (currently a junior) would be great and very much appreciated.
