Is this a good/well-rounded list of colleges for entrepreneurship?
Answered

I would like to know if there's any way I could improve/expand this list:

Rutgers U New Brunswick - Safety, 98%

Babson College - Target, 69%

U of Michigan - Target, 54%

Carnegie Mellon - Target, 52%

Cornell U - Hard Target, 30%

UPenn - Reach, 23%

Edit to add: I forgot to mention that I will not be applying to NYU or WashU (personal reasons)

Knee jerk reaction.

I would pick a college in the 80% range as a safety school not a 98% one.

Also I would stack up like 4-6 schools in 30-40% range if you really want to go to T25 school.

I think these schools should be added for your intended major.

-NorthEastern

-Indiana University

-UC Berkeley

-UT Austin

-UNC Chapel Hill

-Boston College

-Fordham or Syracuse for safety

Got it, thank you! Some of these schools are going on the list and I will consider adding more hard target schools.

Out of curiosity, why do you recommend a safety school with 80% chance rather then 98%?

@CameronBameron3 years ago [edited]

No one really wants to go to college where they had a 98% chance of getting in. What's the point then of applying? IMO it's just a waste of time and effort. I'd rather apply to 2 80% schools as a safety since they will be more desirable.
