I spent the last three years trying to convince my very smart yet lazy best friend to reconsider going to fashion college (FIDM in LA) and at the very least get a business degree. Now that I’ve succeded, I realize she needs a lot more help.

She really wants to go to USC, she just visited and loved the school. She’s also looking at UIUC (we live in Illinois), University of Minnesota, Syracuse, and UT Austin. The problem is, she has virtually no saftey schools that she likes and not a single financial saftey. Her favorite school is a huge reach. I’m trying to suggest a few more match and saftey schools, both private and public. Her stats are below.

UW GPA: 3.6
W GPA: 3.95
ACT: 29 (retaking in september)
APs: Econ 4, Calc AB 4, taking Gov and Stats next year.
EC’s: Varsity Poms 9-10, sportsmanship and leadership awards. Athletic Council 9-10. Class Council 11-12. Senior Class VP. Works 15 hours a week 10-12.

She’ll get good reccomendations and if she interviews it’ll help her.

Any suggestions are VERY appreciated.
