<p>I live in Michigan too, I was just wondering what high school you went to.</p>

5

<p>Bump/ I chance back!</p>

6

<p>I can chance you for Michigan, i think you have a pretty good shot.</p>

7

<p>invite me to post and i'll attempt a chance</p>

8

<p>i think you have a shot at tulane. however, tulane is very expensive.</p>

9

<p>oh yeah i know. price is a secondary issue, however, and I am open to any fitting suggestions, please</p>

<p>You're pretty much In for U of michigan. But i've heard that as of now they have the lowest African American population they've had since ever. You could practically have a 25 and still probably get in.</p>

12

<p>In terms of lib. arts schools: I would suggest Hamilton, which has an awesome English program and is desparate for minority candidates. Acceptance rating is pretty low (about 30 percent), but you still have a shot. Middlebury's also a good one to look into.</p>

<p>Less competitive but still exceptional are Hampshire, Marlboro, Bennington (you might have a match there) and St. Lawrence. Give those a shot--though they're certainly smaller than you might want.</p>

13

<p>Definitely in at MSU. Michigan could be feasible.</p>

<p>thanks!</p>

<p>I can tell you that UCLA statistically doesn't accept many 3.0-3.49 people (less than 4%)</p>

<p>For 3.5-4.2 is much higher the acceptance rate</p>

<p>so it is pretty tight on that</p>

<p>I495: Thanks for the suggestions i'll look into those</p>

<p>Thanks for the chances everyone!</p>

<p>And haikumarukuchan: yeah i know, i just wanted to get a feel for how out it that would be, but thanks</p>
