Does a near perfect SAT (1550-1600) matter more to colleges than a 4.0 UW GPA? Which matters more? Is a 3.7 UW, 4.2 W GPA competitive at ivy league schools if you have a 1600 SAT?

Hi! I’m currently a junior in high school working on my college applications. I’m interested in finance, business/entrepreneurship, or possibly a dual major. Since I still have another year of high school, my application will continue to improve.

Below are some of my dream schools. I’d love to benchmark my profile and get a sense of whether I have a realistic shot at any of them:

•	NYU Stern School of Business

•	Michigan Ross School of Business

•	Stanford University

•	Penn State Smeal College of Business

•	Cornell University

•	Yale University

Please be brutally honest. I would Greatly appreciate any constructive criticism, or advice on improving my chances.

Heres what we’re working with:

Cumulative GPA (Weighted) 4.2

Cumulative GPA (Unweighted) 3.7

1500 SAT

8 APs (+5 senior year): Human, Euro, Calc BC, Physics Mechanics, Macro, Micro (self studied), Lang, Music Theory, APUSH.

6 concurrent enrollment (+1 senior year) Interpersonal Communications, Public Speaking, Principal of Sales, Principal of Marketing, Calculus, Pre-Calculus

Activities and societies:

- Developed app and started business to assist students with mental health, executive dysfunction issues, and procrastination.

- Technology Student Association (2 years) – President (1 year)

What could I do to increase my chances. I will do whatever it takes.
