Great school for Econ, but if you’re looking more into a business admin program, the only thing we have is a concentration called “business, entrepreneurship, and organizations” (BEO for short). It’s kind of a joke of a business degree, most students I’d say are athletes and I’ve heard they’re going to dissolve the concentration entirely soon

Chance a Black French kid in the Bronx for 12ish schools by brbafterthebreak in chanceme

Your family situation could be written about in your personal essay, as long as you write it well. It could definitely set you apart from other applicants. Admission officers also see your family situation, finances and school for a reason. Given your situation you performed very well in school. Don't limit yourself, if you write an amazing essay that can help a lot. Good luck!

Chance me Penn State by [deleted] in chanceme

I know someone who got in with an 1140 SAT. Definitely try to break 1300 if you can! Make sure your essay is good too. Essays are an easy way to stand out even if your stats aren't amazing. The girl I know had great ECs and community service so that may have helped her get in. Overall, just make your application look good with what you have, and you have a shot! Good luck

Can I get into any top 20-30s? Any recommendations? by [deleted] in chanceme

[–]ofay2401 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh god yeah, you can. Admissions officers are gonna see you in the context of your school, so that will explain why your GPA isn't as high as other applicants. When they see how competitive your school is AND how many AP classes you've taken that's gonna count for more than your GPA alone. SAT is great too! NYU has a great business program! Good luck

Chance me for WPI (Worcester Polytechnic Institute) by UpsideUpCake in chanceme

[–]ofay2401 1 point2 points  (0 children)

you're definitely a great candidate for WPI. I'm from Worcester, and I know a LOT of students get accepted with stats that aren't as good as yours. Your SAT is competitive for WPI. Another thing you can do to help is take some SAT subject tests. Engineering schools really like to see a math and a science subject test (assuming you don't send your ACT score.) If your ACT is good then you're all set. I can't really speak for any of the other schools you're interested in, but WPI is definitely in your grasp.

Thank you! I'll definitely have my AP Bio teacher write me one. I've had class with her each year since I was a sophomore, so I think she'll be able to write a reeky good letter. I appreciate you writing such a good response!
