I’d say Loyola,Iowa and UIC are safe.

Ohio State and UMN are targets.

The rest are reaches (Wisc) to high reaches and some don’t offer business - so why are they on your list ?

Tons of great b schools you’d get into - Miami, KU, Bama and less expensive.

Forgetting that your list has some acceptances. Will you be happy with them?

Ps - where is UIUC ?

It’s mentioned in the title and also at the top of the school list so I’m guessing it’s the top choice.

I’ll note that UIUC does not offer a Business Administration major for undergraduates.

OP, what are your goals? Do you plan on going to dental school?

Thx for pointing out. I do note the Calc 3 - impressive in hs.
But I think most the list is overreach - in regards to business.

I assume OP would settle on a discipline within business or they’d pursue management which is sort of the generic Bus Admin major. I think Gies is an attainable target but not a safety. The SAT is in range but unweighted GPA below but the rest of the app is good. So 50/50.

I wish OP well.

Agree that in general business schools do not need Calc 3 but some majors at UIUC need linear algebra.

That said, UIUC offers a lot of (+ X ) majors that might appeal to students like Finance + Data Science or Accounting + Data Science.

Gies is still possible but the GPA/Score is on the lower side.

Yes, I plan to actually major in entrepreneurship or undecided business. And I would love to go to dental school after.

In that case, I’d look very closely at the prerequisites for dental school. I think it will be difficult to fulfill these while getting a business focused degree and a minor in Spanish.
