U.Penn is a university in Philadelphia, which has Wharton in it. It is the business part of it and it is really good because it is an Ivy League and it has many things I like.

NYU is a really good university in New York that offers 183 majors and has many students that have achieveed great things.

I have a 3.6 GPA average.

What I have learned today has affected me very much, because now I know that it is better to enter a normal university first and then a great one to be the star

What is the process for applying to university?

In this websites I learned the acceptance rate of many schools (mostly Ivy Leagues) and most of the good ones range from 6% to 12% and about 90% of them where top 10% of the class and most SAT rates are above 2000 so these are really top notch schools like most of the people know. You also not only need grades but also sports and community work because you need many things to enter colleges like these. You need to be a leader.

I still wonder what other colleges are top tier like these awesome colleges.
