Schools (List of colleges by your initial chance estimate; designate if applying ED/EA/RD; if unsure, leave them unclassified)
Highly Likely: IU EA
Likely: UT Austin EA
Toss-up: UNC EA (Either here or Lower Probability)
Lower Probability: Georgetown EA (probably low probability)
Outside of top 5% rank Texas residents, UT Austin should be considered lower probability at best. Add in applying to a more competitive major makes it even less likely.
When you do a chance me titled reach schools - you kind of know.
Don’t forget UNC is not direct admit. You may attend, apply and not get into the B school.
I’d say little chance at all with the exception of IU - I’d assume yes but they have gone holistic so there’s no way to know. But you are well above the past required stats.
You need more, IMHO.
UT is a target non McCombs and IU a safety non Kelley but I think you are looking for the b schools.
Congrats on your accomplishments. IMO, other than IU all of the schools on your list appear to be reaches. Take your shots, but also consider adding another one or two match/safety options.
Agree that McCombs is lower probability. However, not all schools at UT are lower probability for this student. I would put Liberal Arts Econ Major (still selective) as a target for in state student with these stats. Lots of high rank non-auto in state kids kids who want business go that route.
And UNC OOS is low probability for sure. Their OOS acceptance rate is single digit.
Great that you have TX A&M as an assured (and I’m guessing affordable) acceptance! Fine to take your shots only at schools you prefer to that (excellent) option. Congrats.
