<p>I have great Recs and Essays</p>

<p>I’m shooting for the following Business Undergrad colleges (Financial Aid none):</p>

<p>UMich Ann Arbor
NYU
UTexas at Austin
Emory University
Washington University </p>

<p>Safeties:
GaTech and UGA</p>

<p>I’m obviously shooting for an A average at the end of this year and for next Semester as a Senior. Chances are I will go for a Student Council Representative for Senior year.</p>

<p>…do I have any chances in any of these colleges? Yes, No, Advice? Anything is appreciated.</p>

<p>Thanks so much for all of your help!

<p>I chuckled when I saw 3.6 and 1260 and some of the schools you listed</p>

<p>HUGE REACH: Wash U, Emory
REACH: Michigan, NYU, Texas
SAFETY: Georgia Tech, Georgia</p>

<p>For what it’s worth, Wash U and Emory don’t have top business schools.</p>

<p>no worries shubhsinghi. some people on CC are really harsh because expectations are so high. but i think if u take one sat II and do like a 700+ on it, it will strengthen ur chances as well</p>

8

<p>UMich Ann Arbor - slim chance
NYU - slim chance
UTexas at Austin - good chance / in
Emory University - no chance
Washington University - no chance</p>

<p>Safeties:
GaTech - goood chance (not a safety)
UGA - in</p>

<p>According to who?</p>

<p>US News:

  1. University of Pennsylvania (Wharton) 4.8
  2. Massachusetts Inst. of Technology (Sloan) 4.6
  3. University of California-Berkeley (Haas) * 4.5
  4.  University of Michigan-Ann Arbor *  4.5
  5. New York University (Stern) 4.3
  6.  U. of North Carolina-Chapel Hill (Kenan-Flagler) *  4.3

  7.  University of Texas-Austin (McCombs) *  4.3
  8. Carnegie Mellon University ¶ 4.2
  9. Univ. of Southern California (Marshall) 4.1
  10.  University of Virginia (McIntire) *     4.1&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Business Week:

  1. Penn
  2. Virginia
  3. Notre Dame
  4. MIT
    5. Emory
  5. Michigan
  6. NYU
  7. BYU
  8. Texas
  9. Indiana</p>

<p>As for Emory, I don’t doubt that someone may have gotten in with those stats. However, that may have been a rare case. The average GPA for Emory is 3.75. The mean SAT is about 1385. Your friend’s numbers fall below that. And Emory only accepts 31%. </p>

<p>I don’t like to say “no chance” because the only way you don’t have a chance is if you don’t apply. However, chances are lower than average - which is 31%.</p>

<p>I also disagree with the poster who said that Texas was a “good chance”. First off, 75% of the class is reserved for ranking schools in Texas. Then the following 25% is for the top applicants in non-ranking schools in Texas, and OOS applicants. While Texas isn’t a very difficult school to get into in-state, OOS it is very difficult, and for McCombs, it’s near impossible. McCombs only accepts 20% of their applicants, and being OOS, 75% of the accepted applicants are in-state.</p>
