<p>These are the schools I’m targeting right now, in my order of preference:</p>

<ol>

<li>USC- Marshall</li>
<li>NYU- Stern</li>
<li>SMU- Cox</li>
<li>Pepperdine- Seaver</li>
<li>Indiana- Kelley</li>
<li>Texas- McCombs</li>
<li>Baylor- Hankamer</li>
</ol>

<p>What do my chances look like for these schools and how can I improve them?</p>

<ol>
<li>Penn- Wharton (dream, I’m aware it’s quite a bit of a stretch)</li>
<li>USC- Marshall: Reach</li>
<li>NYU- Stern: Reach</li>
<li>SMU- Cox: Match</li>
<li>Pepperdine- Seaver: High Match</li>
<li>Indiana- Kelley: Match</li>
<li>Texas- McCombs: Depends on class rank (I Assume you are in texas?)</li>
<li>Baylor- Hankamer: Low Match</li>
</ol>

<p>Interesting, I always thought Pepperdine would be easier to get into than SMU or Baylor.</p>

<p>Bump to first page</p>

<p>And another bump</p>

<p>A final bump before this thread dies</p>

<p>If you do get your SAT to 2250 then you might stand a chance at Penn if you can raise your GPA by the time you apply. Get involved in more EC’s especially community and service</p>
