Hi, this is my first post so im hoping everything will turn out fine with this thread. First of all I live in florida and attend an IB program. My UW GPA is 3.786 and weighted its 4.62. The problem is that I don’t have many colleges picked out yet and seeing as im a senior im running out of time. The only decent unis in florida are UF and UM but seeing as UM is very expensive my first and only choice as of now is UF. So if you can, help me choose some colleges to apply to. My first SAT (cold) wasn’t that good around 1800 but im hoping to bring it up to 2000-2150. My desired major at this point will either be chemical engineering or finance (finance+msfinance if i get into UF). All the other colleges seem to suck and I thoroughly believe that UF is my only option. Im interested in both areas but my ideal job would definitely be management consulting, albeit I’d be satisfied working as a chem engineer at exxon also So yea help me out if you can and thank you for your time. Cost+reputation is important for me as Id rather not be a $100k in debt by the time I get out of college.
