<p>Hi everyone I a in a bind because I am not sure what my major should be. ALthough I am a junior, I am still thinking about majors for college. My passion is business so I was thinking about doing Finance, however I want to do Industrial Engineering as well. I am an entrepreneur, and I ultimately want to become the CEO of a business. What is the best route for me?</p>
<p>Also I am a junior at the best high school in Kansas. I have a 3.53 GPA unweighted however I have a 4.1 GPA weighted. I have over 1700 hours of community service, Varsity tennis for 3 years, FBLA national qualifier (president of club at school), DECA International Qualifier( vp of club at school) , Orchestra 4 years, president of Orchestra club, All district all state 3 years in a row, 1’s at State solo and ensemble festival, and I am the CEO of a startup. My SAT score is a 2150 (based on PSAT) and I am potential National Merit. Im hoping to get my SAT to a 2300+. My schools that I am looking at are, Duke, USC, UNC, Ut austin, Michigan, UIUC, Penn, purdue, illinois, tufts, Tulane, Emory, and Gtech. Emory and gtech have this 5 year program where you can get a bs in finance, and a bs in industrial engineering. What are my chances at these schools. I will chance any one back! just respond and post the link to your thread! Thanks So much! I truly appreciate it!</p>
<p>I will chance back ANYONE that chances me. I really need your advice! Im also looking at BU.</p>
<p>Duke and Emory - reach because of GPA</p>
<p>all others are match → its hard to tell without a definite sat score, but your ec’s will set you apart the most so make sure you put an emphasis on this in your apps</p>
<p>So im in at UT austin, and USC? those are my dream schools honestly.</p>
<p>again, that depends on your major. i know from my personal research that UT austin is a very good pharm/engineering school and same with usc. you might not be garunteed “in” but its definitley a high match for you</p>
<p>So when i apply, do I have to say my preferred major? so lets say UTs most competitive program is engineering. Could I say be major is classical studies and then transfer in after im admitted?</p>
<p>I’ve heard that at some universities, it’s hard to switch majors between different schools (like especially Columbia’s engineering school, I think); maybe check UT Austin’s site to find out about that?</p>
<p>But I think you could get into UT and USC and Gtech.</p>
<p>Emory, Duke, and Penn (University of Pennsylvania?) would be reaches, like Dinomite said above.</p>
<p>But looking at your ECs, who knows? It could work out. =)</p>
<p>I’m really hoping so! I do a lot f work outside of school, and I’m really passionate about what I do! Hopefully it all pays off!</p>
<p>Anyone else? Bump bump</p>
<p>my passion is business. Im a CEO.</p>
<p>Kansas is underrepresented at many of these schools, so you stand a fairly good chance from that respect.</p>
<p>Duke and Penn- high reach
Emory, Tufts- low-mid reach
USC- low reach
UNC- high match
UMich- high match
Tulane- match
UT Austin- match
UIUC- in
Illinois- in
Purdue- ???
GA Tech- ???</p>
<p>Awesome thanks! What would you say I should do to improve my chances?</p>
<p>Thanks everyone! Is there anyone else that can help me? I will chance back</p>
<p>C’mon everyone! I could use the advice!</p>
<p>Also does anyone know anything aobut Loyolo, or UTD for Finance and Accounting?</p>
