I have a brain and want to go to college

Chance Me / Match Me
21

<p>You’re an interesting candidate…that’s for sure. Here’s my snap judgement:</p>

<p>Harvard - No.
Boston college - Probably not. It’s a conservative place and you’re asking them to take a chance on you. Doesn’t seem like their style.
Boston University - Maybe.
U of Michigan - Maybe. It would be out of character for them to take you with your GPA unless you’re a recruited athlete, but they might. (Assume you’re in-state with references to Pontiac.) U-M will recalculate your GPA - throwing out your freshman year. So…since you say sophmore year is the year you did poorly - this, unfortunately, is going to be 1/2 of your GPA the Michigan way.
George washington u - Maybe - and, furthermore, why?<br>
NYU - at Stern? I doubt it. </p>

<p>My advice is to apply at Michigan State and Indiana. Unlike at Michigan, you’d be guaranteed a spot in the B-School and both of them are top 25. Another thought is Carnegie Mellon - which has a heavy emphasis on quantitative - obviously your strength. You might also try someplace like Bradley in Boston that’s a pure business school and getting a lot of good press. Where did your references go to college? Their referral would mean a lot more at their alma mater than just any old school. You seem like the kind of person who will do very well in life - and it’s not going to matter much where you go. Good luck!</p>

<p>Brad, you might edit your post to remove your real name. I’d be a bit scared of having my real name associated with all those details. :)</p>

<p>Harvard…No.
BC…Probably Not.
BU…Maybe.
GW…Good Chance.
NYU…Probably Not.
UMichigan…Maybe.</p>

<p>i dunno…it seem like uve had an experience no1 else at ur age has ever had (that being a huge part of a firm). ur extracurriculars are great…so maybe retake ur sats and stuff and try really hard senior year. im sure that if u do those two things ull have a shot at harvard, and ull probably get in most of ur other schools good luck</p>

U of M- maybe leaning towards no (youre SAT is great, but youre grades are too low)

GW- yes</p>
