Undergraduate Business School VS Main Campus Life Questions/COncerns

<p>If I apply to a business school, will I live on a separate campus or the main campus with everyone else? Or is it different for every school? </p>

<p>If there IS a separate campus, which Ill assume will have a small number of people, should I rather then just apply to the normal campus and study economics there instead?</p>

<p>Could someone please give me some insight/advice? </p>

<p>Schools that I am thinking of are:</p>

<p>Upenn (Wharton)
University of Chicago
Northwestern
Cornell (Dyson)
Brown
UC Berkeley (Haas)
NYU (Stern)
Carnegie Mellon (Tepper)
University of Virginia (McIntire)</p>

<p>I think I have a decent chance for these schools for the most part. If you want to see my stats, here they are. </p>

<p>Junior In Highschool</p>

<p>Stats-</p>

<p>GPA 3.8 unweighted out of 4.0 </p>

<p>-My School GPA system works in intervals of .5 (4.0, 3.5, 3.0 etc…), where a 95 to 100 in a class=4.0, a 90 to 94=3.5, an 85-89=3.0 etc…</p>

<p>-Say you take 10 academic classes, and get an 100% in 5 classes, and a 94% in 5 classes, your GPA=[(4.0x5)+(3.5x5)]/10= 3.75</p>

<p>-In conclusion, the system ^ sucks lol</p>

<p>UC GPA: 4.2
Act: 34 (in 1 sitting)
35 (superscore)
Sat I: 2290 (one sitting)
Sat II: Math Level 2 (780), BiologyM(?) US History(?)</p>

<p>Advanced Placement Classes:
Junior: AP Calculus AB, AP Biology, AP US History, AP Environmental Science(Self Study), AP Psychology (Self Study)
Senior: AP Stat, AP Physics B, AP European History, AP Spanish, AP Macroeconomics (Self Study)</p>

<p>Extracurriculars, Jobs, Volunteering, Sports, Music, Awards etc…

Also,not one penny has been donated to colleges.</p>

<p>You’ll live on the main campus. The business school is never an individual campus, it is just a building on the main campus that is referred to as a college.</p>

<p>Some programs do have special housing where you can house with all business majors that may be closer to the business school (building) on campus, but usually that’s optional and you’d still be on the main university campus with all of the other students.</p>

<p>Not too sure about NYU though, you have to realize a campus like that is spread out and not the traditional type of campus you’d find at places like UPenn.</p>
