University of Michigan (in state) (LSA) - high match/low reach
University of Chicago - way to random to predict…UChicago has a quirky admissions department and they are looking for a very specific type of person
Michigan State - low match/safety
NYU (CAS) - low reach</p>

<p>Academics aren’t the best, but you definitely make up for that with your ECs, especially the business. </p>

University of Chicago - match
Michigan State - match (no doubt)

<p>Very nice EC’s. That being said, probably reject at Michigan (scores trump EC’s at public) and Chicago, your gpa sucks. ACT is not stellar either. Cornell and NYU depends ultimately on how much weight they give your EC’s. In at Michigan State.</p>

<p>Cornell- low reach
University of Michigan - match
University of Chicago - match
Michigan State - definite match
NYU- match</p>

<p>btw thanks for that chance!</p>

<p>You’ve got really great EC’s, they really show your commitment and focus to business, but your GPA and test scores are going to hurt you. Other than Michigan State, your GPA and ACT are sort of on the lower end of the scale, but I think you can get into NYU. Just make sure to “advertise” your EC’s as much as possible because thats your strong point.</p>
