<p>cmon, bump</p>

<p>I would say michigan, USC, and Washington are all reaches/mid reaches
Case, Uwisc, slight reach
Everywhere else is in</p>

<p>for Illinois: if you’re thinking of doing engineering, Illinois is a reach, slight reach at other majors though</p>

<p>You likely will be admitted to all of your schools. A 33 ACT is outstanding and a 3.4 GPA is good and can certainly be improved if you are motivated by the courses you select in college. I will be surprised if you are rejected by any of these schools. My honest opinion is that you need to add a couple reach schools such as Cornell, Duke, & Johns Hopkins University. Varsity tennis, captain of robotics club, 8 years of guitar & medical research combined with a 33 ACT & good grades make you a very interesting candidate.</p>

5

<p>crap, the 33 is a typo. its really a 30 but might go up with retakes. do you think that will change alot?</p>

6

<p>Yes, a score of 30 on the ACT instead of a 33 ACT is a significant difference which suggests that your original list of schools is appropriate. A 33 ACT suggested that high school might be boring for you and the lack of interest in your high school courses resulted in slightly above average grades, whereas a 30 ACT suggests that your grades match your abilities in a competitive high school. But, even with an ACT score of 30, you should be accepted to all or almost all of your schools.</p>

7

<p>Likely at Michigan with that GPA? Even with a high ACT, I’d say slight reach (50-50).</p>

8

<p>kyledavid is correct re: Michigan as it is one of the top 5 business schools in the U.S. according to BusinessWeek & USNews. But it is healthy to apply to one or two reach schools. Sorry, but I was thrown off by the typo of a 33 ACT.</p>

9

<p>thanks for the replies, but im not applying to the bussiness school. im applying to neuroscience or microbiology at all except purdue, where im applying BME.</p>

<p>is washington really harder to get into then wisconsin?</p>

10

<p>bbbbbbumpppp</p>

11

<p>bbbbbbumpppp</p>

12

<p>looking pretty good, just go for it</p>

13

<p>I think you’ll get into all of them except michigan, unless you do get a 33+ on the act.</p>

14

<p>what do you think about my chances at rochester? and am i really in at USC(southern cal)</p>

15

<p>UMichigan-AA: High reach
wisconsin madison: High reach
Case: Reach
USC: Low reach
umiversity of minnesota: Medium reach
University of Washington: Low reach
University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign: Low reach for E-school, high match LA
UC boulder: High match
purdue (biomedical engineering): Unsure</p>

<p>Chances would probably improve with (1.) a 33 ACT, (2.) strong AP scores, and similar factors. You might want to see what options remain available at UMissouri.</p>

16

<p>are u serious? wisconsin is a high reach?! minnesota is a reach too? why would i have a better chance at usc then at minnesota?</p>

17

<p>one last bump</p>
