what are my chance to get into these schools with a 3.3 unweighted GPA, 3.9 weighted GPA, and 24 ACT ?</p>

<p>@Michigantown: Your chances are very slim to near impossible at this point in time. Michigan has definitely increased it’s standards (Acceptance rate dropped 10% this year) and minority admission is declining. Now that proposal two was shot down, maybe there will be an increase in minority acceptances next year and the years to come, granted that this court decision does not go to the supreme court. I got in with the exact same grades, but I was wait listed and then accepted in mid June. It wouldn’t hurt to apply but I think you can definitely get into Michigan state with those grades.</p>

<p>Bump
bump</p>

<p>Listen guys, this thread better be bumpin by at least Nov. We mustn’t be so dry during the admissions season :D.</p>

<p>I’m so ready for college apps…all of my friends are dreading it but I’m kind of enjoying it so far lol
And I finally whittled down my college list to the ones I really love :)</p>

<p>Colleges

  1. Harvard EA (a person can dream, can’t they?)
  2. Yale
  3. Columbia
  4. Princeton
  5. Northwestern
  6. WUSTL
  7. Georgetown</p>

<p>Safety is gonna be the state flagship :smiley: it’s got a great honors program. Hoping to major in either polysci or econ (either double major or a minor in one of the two)…Then law school!</p>

<p>My friends are dreading college apps, too. I think they’re going to be the ones finishing on Christmas day.</p>

<p>I think I was a little too excited. I’m finished everything I can finish for now. I just need guidance and teacher recommendations, transcripts which my school doesn’t give out until mid-Sept, and one college app, which doesn’t come out until Sept. I also read over my essays every now and then to see if I would change them with “fresh eyes.”</p>

<p>The supplements for the two colleges I’m applying to that use the common app haven’t been released yet, so I still have to do those, too.</p>

<p>I should probably add that my college list is the same, except I’m no longer applying to UVa. (Sorry for the multiple posts. I would edit to add, but I’m on my iPod.)</p>
