<p>Hey there, I’m an international students and I got 633 for TOEFL, 1950 for SAT(going to retake this Oct., should get >2000); i’m the president of the student government and have oraganized a lot of activities both in and out of school; have done a lot of voluntary works like teaching english for free in the poor areas, etc; also have one year cultural exchange in america high school, was working at the student government in american high school too; GPA in my homecountry is 3.9, during the one year in America is 3.4( the language problem i guess…).</p>
<p>anyways, I want to major in Econ for undergraduate, Im thinking about ED NYU, Berkeley or Colgate. which one do you guys think i have the best chance to get in? and I saw the ranking of econ apartment and it seems like Berkeley’s econ apart. is better than NYU’s? </p>
<p>p.s. feel free to suggest other univ which has good econ apart. which I have a good chance to get in! thx. :)</p>
<p>ummm actually as far as fit… somewhere like Boston University might be another option for you… honestly w/ your stats Berkley is quite a reach (Out of State) and NYU might be a little easier but still difficult… Colgate i think might also be out of your reach… but honestly apply to all of them… and see what happens… you’re only givin us a tiny synopsis of what you’re really about… so its really quite impossible to give you a good indication of where to go… .But def look into BU… that might b a very good fit for yourself</p>
<p>oh okay… ic … ummm yeah i think you stand a realilistic shot at getting into bu… def mention your EC’s in your essays … theyre very strong… BU’s econ department is in the top 25 in the country… and it might have everything you’re looking for as far as environment with boston being quite a diverse and electric city… anyhow thats how i see it… def apply and see what happens</p>
