Chance Me / Match Me
1

Hi everyone! I wanted to get your opinions on my chances of getting into some schools I am applying to. I am a white male and I go to a not-so-competitive public high school.

•GPA (100 pt. scale): 95.69 unweighted; 100.7 weighted

•2010 SAT score (650 CR, 670 Math, 690 Writing) (NOTE: I will not be sending my SAT scores)
•31 ACT (31 math, 34 english, 29 reading, 30 science. Average=31.25… very mad at this. Retake in Dec. to get a 32)

•Course rigor: 7 AP classes total (APUSH, AP Calc AB, AP Chem, AP Economics (micro&macro in same year), AP Physics B, AP language and composition, AP world history (9th & 10th grade)); All other classes are Honors classes; “wind ensemble” (my school’s most advanced band).

•extracurriculars: National Honor Society, President of English Honor society/English Club, treasurer of Business Honor Society, advanced outside-of-school Orchestra member (play at well-known stages such as Carnegie Hall), volleyball team, outside-of-school volleyball club (play around the nation at national tournaments). Tri-M international music honor society

•attended the Columbia University Summer Program for High School Students (coursework in Business, finance, and eco)

Interned at 2 companies throughout high school

•Chief Executive Officer of my school’s Virtual Enterprise International (VEI) Firm

•Counselor Letter of Rec: Generic
•Teacher Letters of Rec: Great
•Also, I am sending a letter of rec from the CEO of a well-established, publicly traded company
•Intended major: Finance
•I will not be applying for financial aid

SCHOOLS:
NYU Stern (Early Decision II) *First Choice
Boston College Carroll
Boston University Questrom
Northeastern D’amore-McKim
Tulane University Freeman
Loyola Univeristy
Indiana University Kelley School of Business
Fordham University Gabelli School of Business
Cornell Dyson (What the heck, right? lol)

Thank you so much!

UPDATE: accepted DA to Indiana; not applying to Dyson.

How would my chances increase (if any) at these schools if I were to score higher on science and reading, thus making my superscored ACT score a 32-33? Also, will being white slightly increase my chances at Stern? I see (I’m sorry if this comes off as racist or offensive) most people on CC accepted/applying to Stern are asian. Just a thought.

Letter of rec from the CEO of a Fortune 500 or Fortune 1000 company would be impressive

Stern is a reach. Would remove Tulane and Loyola and add Baruch, UVA, UNC, UMich

Thanks. I know Stern is a reach, but do you think if I got a 33 ACT plus all the stats listed above I’d even have a slight chance? Also, what about the Boston Schools?
