<p>Write a good essay and you should get into all of those colleges. You’re not aiming for any Ivies?</p>

3

<p>Thank you! Oh no, I think I would be rejected very fast from any ivy. I am not feeling that lucky.</p>

4

<p>i’d try one ivy
you certain have the grades and the act score</p>

<p>i think you’d be a good match for all of the schools</p>

<p>All of those colleges (with the exception of Vassar) are low/matches or safeties for you. You’re probably right that most Ivies would reject you (based on your mediocre SATs and lack of EC’s), but you should still pick some reaches. </p>

<p>I see that most of those schools are in the Mid West. Idk if that’s just a coincidence, but some Midwestern reaches for you are U of C, Northwestern, Washington U (I think MO is the Mid West… w/e). Try the “College Search” board: post what you’re looking for in a university and ask for some reaches. Chances are if you apply to 5-6 reaches you WILL get accepted to one. It probably won’t be Harvard, but you do have a shot at a “Top 20” school.</p>

6

<p>how do u have a 3.85 UW with only one B and all A’s?</p>

7

<p>MSU but not UMich?</p>

<p>Anyways you got a great chance at them all. Go to UW Madison- it’s a great school.</p>

8

<p>haha. I noticed that too. I looked at my transcript and there were other scattered classes I got a few B’s in. But I really don’t feel like putting them down.</p>

9

<p>Thank you. I shall do that right now. I just feel like I’d get rejected everywhere, so I only wanted to apply to schools I was sure I could get into, but I really should apply to some out of my safety zone schools.</p>

10

<p>those are all matches
shoot for an ivy</p>

11

<p>Why try an Ivy if s/he doesn’t want to go to one? This is a concept I have never understood.</p>
