You didn’t even take the SAT Reasoning or Subject Tests yet. Your curriculum and grades may both be inflated.

Look at the Boston College Carroll School of Management. BC is located in a beautiful, wealthy suburb, and Boston is 20 minutes away by bus.

Look at the Macaulay Honors Program at the City University of New York: Baruch College. Very well-known business program, fairly selective, tuition-free.

NYU and Columbia are both wonderful schools, though I prefer Columbia if only because of the tiny, aesthetically pleasing campus, the good financial aid, the prestige, and the generally strong humanities offerings.

NYU Stern is a superior choice if you have your heart absolutely set on working in finance or consulting.
