Am I headed in the right direction for these schools?

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>I'm looking into University of Wisconsin Madison, University of Minnesota Twin Cities, University of Michigan Ann Arbor or University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. I'm a junior in high school and I live in Wisconsin. I know it's a bit early to tell, but do I have a decent chance if I keep doing what I have been?</p>

<p>Unweighted GPA: 3.834
Class Rank: 14/335
Practice ACT Composite: 28
Practice ACT English: 29
Practice ACT Math: 27
Practice ACT Reading: 28
Practice ACT Science: 29</p>

<p><strong>Just something to note: I took the practice ACT after taking the PSAT, so my scores might be a tad on the low side since I had already taken a standardized test before this one. :)</strong></p>

<p>Academics
-Four AP classes from Freshman to end of Junior Years (received a 4 and a 3, I'm taking two now)
-Several other honors classes</p>

<p>Extracurriculars
-National Honor Society
-German National Honor Society (Treasurer)
-Class Board: Mostly organizing dances and class fundraisers
-Color Guard with Marching Band (Co-Captain Junior year)
-JV Tennis
-JV Track & Field- Shotput and Discus
-Baton Twirling Group (not through school)
-Private clarinet lessons</p>

<p>I'm just trying to get a general idea if I have a chance at any of these schools or if I need to readjust the schools I'm looking at. Thanks for reading!</p>

<p>Also: I’m considering University of Michigan Ann Arbor and University of North Carolina Chapel Hill more of reach schools. But could I possibly get in?</p>

<p>Probably. At least for me, the practice ACT did not predict my actual score very well. I received a 25 on the practice, but scored a 33 a few months later. You have a good amount of extracurriculars and good grades. Keep doing what you are doing and try to bring up any low grades, and I think you will have a really good chance.</p>

<p>Did you take an ACT prep class or just study a lot?</p>

5

<p>Should I strive for more officer positions? I might have a shot at class president or VP. I could be an NHS officer. Should I try for it or am I in a good enough position that I can to without the added stress of another officer position?</p>

6

<p>I think you would get into U of MN and possibly WI, unless you are in Madison.</p>

<p>UNC takes VERY few OOS students and those that are admitted have exceptional stats. So I would call that a long shot–Michigan too.</p>

<p>Also, you do realize the cost of UNC and Michigan will be approximately double that of WI/MN?</p>

7

<p>I live in Wisconsin and many people from my high school end up going there, so I think I actually have a pretty good chance.</p>

<p>Is there anything you think I could work on to increase my chances of getting accepted into these schools? Any more extracurriculars I should look into or classes I should take?</p>

<p>I do realize that UNC and Michigan are very expensive but my parents have told me that we would be able to pay for an expensive school if I absolutely wanted to.</p>

<p>All of these schools are definitely in reach for you and you have great EC’s so just try to improve your test scores. Good luck!
