Illinois</p>

<p>Considering:
University of Illinois Urbana Champaign
Ohio state
Michigan
Indiana Bloomington
Univerity of Minnesota
University of Miami</p>

<p>also suggest some colleges that might be safeties/matches/reaches</p>

<p>UIUC- Low reach/High match
Ohio State- High Match
Michigan- Reach
IU Bloomington- Low Reach
University of Minnesota- Low Reach
UMiami- Reach</p>

<p>Do you have any safeties?
I would say you should apply to less prestigious in-state universities, like Northern Illinois U and Southern Illinois U for safeties (your ACT is a full 5 pts. higher than the average at NIU)</p>

<p>I thought Indiana and ohio state would be safeties??</p>

<p>can somone recommend colleges with good pre-dentistry programs</p>

<p>Sorry, but your GPA is a little too low for them to be safeties. While you will likely get into one or the other, you should definitely apply to one or two schools like NIU.
I would say you might want to apply to these:
UIUC
Ohio State
UMichigan (awesome pre-dentistry programs, worth a shot even though it is a reach)
IU Bloomington
NIU
SIU
Boston University (probably a High match for you, but they have good pre-professional programs)</p>

<p>UIUC - slight reach
Ohio State - match
Michigan - reach
IU - low match/safety
University of Minnesota - match</p>

<p>Do you mean the Miami in Ohio or the Miami in Florida? Ohio would be a slight reach, whereas Florida would be a genuine reach.</p>

<p>are my e.c. good enough for these colleges</p>

<p>Your ECs are pretty good, but if you get work experience that would boost your chances :)</p>

<p>Here's a though:
University of Illinois at Chicago is easier to get into that UIUC. If I were you I would apply at both, because you do have the stats to get into UIC guaranteed.</p>

<p>anyone else?</p>

<p>also is my rank good enough for UIUC and Ohio State
and do I have better than 75 % change of getting accepted into UIUC?</p>
