Chance me: Kinda concerned about my chances; Prospective Economics major; BU ED, NY resident, 3.93 weighted GPA, ACT 32, top 20%

I would figure out what I want to study and go for that. Econ isn’t business - especially marketing. You will be studying for four years - so you want to study what you want. Econ will be a lot more work than marketing, in my experience.

I think it’s fine to ED BU - I don’t think you’ll get in - but you are in range so you never know.

I don’t see Barnard or Chicago - but it doesn’t matter. If you want to go - give it a try - but check to see whether you should submit the 32. If it’s below the 25th percentile, don’t.

I think your targets - at least 3 happen and maybe all four.

All the SUNYs will happen.

So you’ll have many options - but look at the curriculums of the various majors - and apply for what you want.

That’s more imprortant than the where.

Best of luck.
