Hey everyone! I am a current high school senior from India, and would really appreciate some advice on colleges to apply to. My SAT Scores, ECs and GPA are, i feel, within the range of top universities.
I plan to take business majors in my undergraduate years. However, I am aware that most top universities don`t really offer undergrad business courses, and the closest you can get to one is economics, thus I wouldnt mind that. But I would definitely want to pursue a degree in Computer Science alongiside if business majors are not possible. I am also interested in studying International Relations, Political Science etc.
What I look for in a college, is definitely extremely good quality education, teachers, course, etc. However I lay alot of emphasis on the people I would be with, i.e, the crowd I would encounter in the university. I wish to be among friendly yet competitive individuals who would always strive for the best and work hard. I also look for a lively college environment, with plenty of Extra Curriculars/Clubs going around campus.
Keeping this in mind, what universities would you suggest me to apply to? I am looking for top ranking colleges in the streams I have mentioned, plus the specifications listed above
My current list is:
UPenn (First Preference)
UC Berkeley (2nd)
Stanford
Harvard
Yale
Columbia
Princeton
Brown
Cornell (Should I?)
Dartmouth (Should I?)
UMich
Duke
UVirginia (Should I?)

UChicago (Should I?)
Northwestern (Should I?)
MIT
One more UC (Which one?

UT Austin (Should I?)
Notre Dame (Should I?)

Any additions? Any removals? Your time and input will be highly appreciated Thanks in advance!
