<p>So I’ve received a 33 on the ACT, as a junior my cumulative GPA as of now is a 4.26 including freshman year and 4.43 not. In three years I have taken 4 AP’s and 6 Honors. I’m on the debate team at school and involved in community service as well as a multitude of clubs on campus. My first question is what do you guys think is the best college I can get into for finance? Also if I could afford a 4 year right out of high school, is it even worth it considering that the first 2 years is basic education? For example, say, just say, I got into Stanford, should I go there right out of high school or start at a Cal state or UC such as UCI? I also don’t want to go to a community college just out of sheer pride.</p>
<p>For finance, nothing beats Wharton (UPenn). So if you aim for Wharton and keep your grades,etc. in line with Wharton’s usual “criteria”, you should be able to get into any finance program of your choice, if that makes any sense. Ivies are known for beign really, really generous when it comes to aid. Call the financial office to solidify everything. Good luck!</p>
<p>Well, Community Colleges are cheap and are good transitions into universities. However, they don’t really give you the full college experience. If that’s okay with you, they tend to be soundest, financially.</p>
<p>If you get into Stanford and can afford it, then by all means go. If not, that’s okay, there’s plenty of fantastic CSUs and UCs, and with your scores, you could probably get into all of them, excluding maybe UCLA and UC Berkeley, which receive a lot of apps. I’d recommend researching as many CSUs and UCs as possible, and see which ones suit you.</p>
