<p>Yes, you’re on track. Your admission will depend mostly on your essays/recommendations.</p>

<p>What do you want to major in?</p>

<p>Since you’re a low-income/first-gen applicant, you should look into [url=&lt;a href=“http://www.questbridge.org%5DQuestBridge%5B/url”&gt;www.questbridge.org]QuestBridge[/url</a>]. With their application, you can apply early to all the schools you listed except UMich, which I think you could also apply to early since it has rolling admissions.</p>
