So we know you’ll get into IU - but not Kelley. We know you’ll get into U Houston but you saw the requirements for class of 26.
@happy1 noted when I mentioned ASU and E Carolina that you already had safeties, like LSU.
So if you have safeties, what else do you need?
Many schools will have entrepreneurship aspects - Bentley (I like to say Babson’s cousin even though not related) has an entrepreneurship hub. And one doesn’t need the major to become an entrepreneur or learn more about it - most schools will have classes.
So start with your budget - your in state school.
U Houston is arguably at the top - so it’s a great find by you - if you can get in the program.
Research schools in the Princeton Review top 50 - as many are “safe” - do any interest you?
Miami U at #7 - you’d get in - great name. Farmer is a great B school. They have a department of entrepreneurship.
Iowa State
Drexel has its own program
Oregon
U Delaware
E Carolina
U Buffalo
These are all names you are highly likely for. Google them and entrepreneurship - you’ll find some impressive things.
For a New York student with a specific interest in the fashion industry, FIT seems like an obvious one to look at: Entrepreneurship
Does your international background mean that you’d be interested in an international focus in college - i.e. studying and/or internships abroad, programs with international connections, etc? Or conversely, does it mean that you’re “BTDT” about going abroad and are more interested in a US-based college experience?
As one example of the former, St. Louis University has a campus in Madrid, where it offers four-year degrees, “2+2” degrees (two years in Madrid and two in STL) and traditional semesters/years abroad. SLU offers en entrepreneurship major and minor; the major is available as a 2+2 and the minor is available to 4-year students in Madrid (business-y majors in Madrid include international business, econ, & marketing).
URI’s International Business program (not a major in “international business,” but rather a dual-degree program combining a foreign language/culture major and a business major, for which the Innovation & Entrepreneurship major is one option) includes both study and internship abroad. https://web.uri.edu/business/academics/undergraduate/international-business-program/
UMiami offers an entrepreneurship major and a Global Business co-major. Not a safety, but a little less reachy than Babson so not outside the range of your list, and meets need. Syracuse, similarly competitive, could also be worth a try (Entrepreneurship & Emerging Enterprises major).
Agreed that Delaware could be a good one to look at if it would be affordable.
Maybe U of Denver, whose two greatest strengths are Business and International Relations. The Pioneer Leadership cohort program is not purely stats-based - might be possible if your EC’s impress.
