Maryland Senior interested in Finance

[dusty pollen]

Location/Region:Anywhere really. I’m from Maryland so any of the neighboring states are a plus

City/Rural/Suburb:I don’t have a preference

Major:Finance

-GPA/Test Scores: 3.93/4.3 and a 1420 SAT

-Curriculum:I’m interested in schools with a really good business/finance program and with the opportunities to network/get experience

Size:Medium/Large schools are what I had in mind but it doesn’t really matter

Costs:I’m looking for schools where I can get a good amount of merit aid with my stats. I come from a middle class family so I’m not expecting too much need based aid. I just don’t want to take on ridiculous amounts of debt by the time I’m out of school.

Schools You're Currently Looking At:UMD, Loyola MD, Salisbury, UMBC, Drexel, Indiana, VCU, Penn State

Hot major

Merit aid is a bit harder

Most top biz schools primarily do need based

R u looking specifically for schools with biz schools or Econ majors as well

[dusty pollen]

Ideally business schools. But I’m not totally opposed to things like financial Econ which is why I’m looking into umbc

[broken goblet]

Gotcha

I’ll focus on those

Top targets: Penn, cornell, UT, Georgetown, NYU, UVA, Berkeley, Michigan

Semi targets: USC, Emory, Indiana, UNC, Fordham, CMU, Miami

Makes sense

Honestly idk, but if you will ED one of the targets go for UVA test optional (for uva, no direct admit to bba hence easier to get in compared to ross/msb/dyson etc)
