How will my current course load affect my acceptance chances?

What can you do?

  1. Score well on your AP exams
  2. Consider dropping AP Psych and adding Latin 3
  3. Narrow your list and look for schools that are truly a good fit for you (not based on some magazines description on top business schools).
  4. Take your new Narrowed list and make sure you have good reaches/matches and safeties that seem like a good fit. (for example if your drawn to the Georgetown because of the Jesuit foundations, then you may want to consider Fordham, St Joes or Fairfield). I’m not suggesting you limit to just those schools, but remember you are looking for the best fit for you. For each school you need to ask yourself “Why would I want to study there?” and the answer has to be more than prestige or it’s a good school.

You’ve gotten yourself off to a good start, my son is also a Junior and the whole process can be pretty overwhelming. You don’t want to be the student that goes to BC then realizes that the core curriculum doesn’t allow him to dual major in Marketing and Computer Science, or goes to Northeastern without understanding the Co-op program.
