Hi all,

I am currently a high school sophomore and I was planning on majoring in business/sports management and I was wondering how I could start preparing now to get into the best colleges for these programs. Some are UT Austin, UMich, Indiana, Syracuse, UNC, Rice.

Thanks

Same thing as everyone else. Get a good GPA, high test score and meaningful EC’s.

What @bwalts61 said. To get into the best colleges, you need the best GPA/SAT/ACTs.

For ECs:
Get involved in sports at your HS. Either play or become a manager or stat keeper. Be the announcer at the football games. Participate in the booster club.

“Take classes in business, economics, psychology, mathematics and statistics. They also recommend playing varsity sports and participating in campus sports organizations and clubs—as well as volunteering at sports events—as highly valued experience in that it shows leadership skills and a strong interest in athletics.”
