<p>Alittle negative? Pretty sure you are in at Wisconsin, Purdue and Illinois. Northwestern and Michigan will be much tougher</p>

<p>What state are you from?</p>

<p>Northwestern and Michigan will definitely be reaches for you, but if you re-take the ACT and score better, you'll have much better chances (you have a good UW GPA). </p>

<p>My assumption is that you're applying to UIUC, which would be a match if you're applying to LAS for Chemistry.</p>

<p>from Illinois</p>

<p>can't take the ACT in Oct. due to conflicting cross country schedule so I'm stuck with the 29</p>

<p>even with the 29, will good essays/recs give me a shot ED NU and ER Mich</p>

<p>yes I'm applying for chemistry at UIUC and am intrigued by their department</p>
