<p>How did you manage </p>

<p>-4 years Varsity Soccer team (team captain for 3 years, including school’s first ever championship)
-4 years Varsity Basketball team
-4 years Varsity Baseball Team</p>

<p>when you’re only in your junior year of high school?</p>

4

<p>I am certain I will remain on those teams throughout high school</p>

5

<p>Aren’t baseball and soccer in the same season?</p>

<p>And why are you putting four years when you have only been playing for two? You say you’re a sophomore?</p>

6

<p>No, he’s a junior; he’s taking the PSAT next week.</p>

7

<p>Just the sports I added years to because I will be playing them for sure</p>

8

<p>baseball–spring
basketball–winter
soccer-fall</p>

<p>if he’s captain that led his team to championship, it does not seem like he will be cut in senior year.</p>

9

<p>can we focus more on chancing?</p>

10

<p>Upenn (Wharton) - High reach, virtually no chance
William and Mary - Match
Suny Binghampton - Safety
NYU - High Match/Low Reach
U of Chicago - You shouldn’t apply here; they don’t have an undergraduate business program
LaFayette - Low Match
James Madison - Safety
Georgetown - Low Reach</p>

11

<p>Anyone know other strong undergrad business programs on the East coast?</p>

12

<p>If your rank is good, with a 2100 plus and a strong SAT mathII, NYU Stern could work. After that I’d try Michigan, not E. Coast, but do you want a good business school you can get into?</p>

13

<p>Michigan is most likely too far west…</p>

14

<p>According to Business Week, great business program schools on east coast:
UVA
Cornell
Villanova
UNC
Miami
Northeastern</p>

15

<p>reach- Penn, W&M, Chicago, Georgetown</p>

<p>All others a match.</p>

16

<p>how much would my odds go up if I applied ED or EA?</p>

17

<p>ED raises chances much more than EA, though EA does help. For Wharton, many many people apply ED, and you still have a long shot for it.
For NYU, its increases your chances a lot.</p>
