Choosing a Undergraduate Business School? - alexcsacramento - 04-27-2014 11:30 PM
I am frantically deciding what colleges I want to attend as I am less than a week from deadlines. I know I want to major in business. I don't know exactly what type of business.
3.3 GPA 1800 SAT NO extra curricular activities
Prefers East/West coast
Prefers Urban environment
Wants to be in a school with some sort of sense of community (unlike NYU)
Wants to be in the best situation to go to one of the best graduate schools in the nation
I'm looking at NYU, USC, BU, University of Pennsylvania, North Carolina University, Georgetown, Boston College, University of Virginia, University of Pennsylvania, Notre Dame, and possibly Cornell.
Please give as much detail as possible!

Here's what you need to do:
you have a 3.3 gpa, an adequate SAT (not fantastic), and nothing really special
It's doubtful that you meet the minimum requirements for any of the schools that you have on your list. For example:
USC = 92% of freshman have a 3.75gpa or better; 99% have a 3.5gpa or better
Wharton (Penn) = you need a 3.4gpa to be considered
NC State = 3.25 gpa to be considered (yes, you meet this but this is the minimum... )
So you can either:
1. go to community college for 2 years, get your AA, and attempt to get into these schools at that time.
2. look at tier 2 schools
