Chance me Northwestern ED [PA resident, 3.85 GPA, 1510 SAT, economics]

Unfortunately, undergraduate business has become a very tough admit across the board. In many schools, you either get in or do not (bet you know that), without consideration for other majors… and other schools. My son has a very similar list to yours, with the same major, with the same 800 math and a higher verbal. He has much better math track and 5’s on all AP’s including BC Calc. His leadership and activities are a good level stronger than yours. My point is that I am nervous about him being admitted to these same places because you and he are both increasing the level of difficulty at these schools because of your major choice.

I think that Penn State business is safe for you. Safe means 75%+ percent and you need 3 to have a proper list and you do not have that. I think you will pull Maryland, Florida, Wisconsin, and Illinois - but they are not safe. As far as the rest go, I think you will get 1 other - likely Georgetown, UTA, Emory or Georgia Tech but those can be tough. I think IU would also go your way.
