Hi! I will be a senior from Michigan next year applying to colleges. Two schools on my list are the University of Michigan (instate) and Boston College. I am curious to know what my chances for these schools might be.
GPA UW: 3.9
GPA W: 4.0556
Class Rank: 1/496
ACT: 33
ECs: two varsity sports (golf captain), student congress(treasurer senior year), NHS, Key Club, 300+ hours of community service etc…
Thanks! (I am also interested in the University of South Carolina, University of Wisconsin, and am open to any more suggestions).
Also, my parents are Michigan alum and my sister is there now.

You should look into Emory, and Duke as they have a lot of overlap with BC with admissions. Those can be your reaches/high reaches.
UMich- Match
U Wisconsin- Low Match
U south c - Safety/ Low Match
BC- High Match
Emory- Low Reach/ Reach
Duke- Reach / High Reach
