<p>Hi, I was wondering about my chances to a couple of universities. If you would like me to chance back either link me to your chance thread or post. Here's my stats: </p>
<p>GPA (unweighted): 3.72
ACT Composite: 27 (Planning to improve)</p>
<p>EXTRACURRICULARS:
Church Volunteer
Rotary Club Member
Service Club Secretary and Events Manager
Reporter and Editor of school newspaper
Student ambassador
Camp Counselor
Cancer research lab technician assistant
Class Cabinet Member
Principle's Advisory Club
NHS Vice President
Participated in a joint university water research project</p>
<p>Universities:
Carnegie Mellon
University of Pittsburgh
Ohio State University
Case Western Reserve University
University of Michigan</p>
<p>Carnegie Mellon-reach
University of Pittsburgh-match
Ohio State University-low match
Case Western Reserve University(dunno)
University of Michigan-high match</p>
<p>Bring those scores up and and CMU will be within your reach. Also, on your try to focus on EC’s your really passionate about rather than just giving a laundry list. </p>
<p>chance back-see chances thread</p>
<p>Oh and all my classes are either honors or AP.</p>
<p>Do you know what your class rank is? Have you taken the SATs? Also, have you ever been abroad through Rotary? If you have, that would also be something you should put on your application. From the information you have provided us with, I would say:
Carnegie Mellon-reach(average ACT 28-32)
University of Pittsburgh-low match(average ACT 24-30)
Ohio State University-low match(average ACT 24-29)
Case Western Reserve University-low reach(average ACT 26-31)
University of Michigan-low reach(average ACT 27-31)</p>
<p>My class rank is top 10%. No, the Rotary Program is incorporated in our school’s service club and we help set international donations, like we’re trying to help this orphanage in Mexico right now.</p>
<p>If you cannot raise your ACT score, then Wartsandall’s predictions are pretty reasonable. If you can raise it to a 30, even with superscore, then all your schools would be reasonable. Carnegie Mellon maybe a high match/low reach, but otherwise they’re matches/safeties.</p>
<p>Your class rank is decent for these schools, though I would still suggest that you take the SATs if you haven’t done so already. If you find that you score better on the SAT than your ACT, you can submit your SAT score instead and may have a better chance at getting into some of your reach schools. Good luck!</p>
<p>Thanks! I’m planning on raising my score to a 30+ by september and taking the SAT in october, so I’m hoping for the best</p>
