Help a current Junior with his college pursuit! [MA resident, 3.97 GPA, 1560 SAT, finance and accounting]

It seems like you are already thinking way ahead into your future career, with a strong focus on business. This is not a bad thing, but you also have to allow the college experience (beyond IB placement stats) to shape and build the person that you will be. Your current approach seems to be: “Look how amazing I am, who wants me?” Maybe, it should be “Which school is the best fit for me, considering all aspects, and what do I have to offer to that school specifically?” You have a year to figure this out, but you will have a much better result if you follow the latter approach.
