[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. I think she's narrowed down her list to these schools. Are these realistic for someone applying as a business major? We have a tutor to help her with SAT scores which is her biggest issue. Ohio State, IU Kelley, and UTK require SAT scores.

Reach: UVA, Vanderbilt (I know these are major reaches)
Target: Ohio State, UMD, IU (Kelley will be a reach as a direct admit), Penn State, Clemson, UTK, South Carolina, Virginia Tech
Safety: Michigan State, Miami of Ohio, Delaware

What are her ECs? Does he have strong accomplishments?
Vanderbilt HOD major in Peabody for ED - likely won't work as its a MAJOR reach, but shoot your shot? If she has leadership in community organizations (incl sports), she can spin her 10 ECs and the 1 supp to be responsive to HOD (she really needs to work her narrative though to stand out in the pool). Make sure you sign up for Pre-VU at Vanderbilt this month.

I'd suggest other schools too:

BU
BC
Villanova
Wisconsin
Iowa
Alabama
Auburn
Northeastern (make sure to show real interest)
Babson
Bentley
Richmond
Wake (make sure to show real interest)
Elon (make sure to show real interest)

If you are applying for business, she should have a few ECs that align with business. Does she have that?
Find niche majors in business schools to apply to (supply chain management, business analytics/data science, rick mgnt, real estate, or sports business).
