Chinese Male, 30th ranked public school in New York.
School doesn’t rank but definitely top 20%, im assuming between 10-15%</p>
<p>I am looking to major in Engineering or Business (preferably a dual degree) Which schools are best fit for me? Also, what are my chances for NYU Stern ED? Also looking at Cornell, UMich, Emory, Wharton. Do i stand a chance at any of these schools?</p>
<p>What else can I do to increase my chances for top schools in terms of EC’s? </p>
<p>ALL HELP IS GREATLY APPRECIATED.</p>
<p>bump, thanks so much in advance!!</p>
<p>any info is greatly appreciated! </p>
<p>I literally have NOO clue where i would stand in terms of college admissions. i dont know know if i stand any chance at tier 1 schools, tier 2, tier 3, or very average state schools. if anyone is well informed on this topic, please help! i need to make a college list soon</p>
<p>Can you afford NYU or UMich? You have no chance at Wharton.</p>
<p>yes money is not a problem at all, but i wouldnt be allowed to go to nyu unless i got into nyu stern. hows my chance at those places?</p>
<p>I’m beginning to sound like a broken record, but…what are you getting for advice from your guidance counselor? Also, try using some of the college search engines that allow you to put in your statistics and other criteria (potential majors, location, size etc.). It will give you a list and you can see how your stats relate to students who got in to those schools. It is a good starting point. Look for schools where your stats put you in the top 25% and those can be your target schools. Then you can refine your list by researching those schools and follow up by asking specific questions in here.
I liked College Navigator [College</a> Navigator - National Center for Education Statistics](<a href=“http://nces.ed.gov/collegenavigator/]College”>College Navigator - National Center for Education Statistics), but you can also use the College Board or CC or ***** or Princeton Review…</p>
<p>Stern is a reach. 92% of students are in the top 10% of their class, your GPA and CR are low. [New</a> York University Undergrad Profile](<a href=“Bloomberg - Are you a robot?”>Bloomberg - Are you a robot?)</p>
<p>Take a look at Lehigh (good business/engineering). Your list is very reach-heavy.</p>
<p>Maybe look at VA Tech–where the top majors are business and engineering. Also, perhaps Bucknell or GA Tech.</p>
<p>Ouch, so I have little chances at Umich, NYU Stern, Emory, and Wharton?</p>
<p>Is there anything I can do my junior summer to change that? I really want to go to a top business/engineering school.</p>
<p>You’re basically going to have to choose between business and engineering at some point, they’re very different curricula.</p>
<p>NYU and Emory don’t offer engineering programs on their campus. I would suggest that you raise your test scores to a 2250+ and your GPA to have a good shot at Stern and Emory. Wharton is going to be a reach for anybody. Also your ECs seem quite ordinary for an applicant to top colleges. Maybe you can do something over the summer which will show the admissions committee your passion for business or engineering. Essays are also important, so I would strongly recommend that you start writing your personal statement this summer, if you haven’t already started. Supplements aren’t released yet so the most you can do is research what you like about each university because many will have the “Why X” essay. Hope this helps.</p>
<p>I second Lehigh as a good option. Lehigh is well regarded in both engineering and business, and I think they have a program where you can do both. Plus, you stand a better chance at getting in there than in some of the other schools.</p>
