<p>looks like your dad might be able to pull some strings to get you in.
for lsa i'd say slight reach.</p>
<p>let your father work his magic.</p>
<p>haha i mean, of course, he has been. but i do wonder if i could actually get solely from my performance as a high school student. i suspect itd be a reach to slight reach...</p>
<p>Going by performance alone, you're a reach for Ross and probably in for LSA.</p>
<p>you would not get into ross pre-admit w/o daddy's help, but keep in mind admittance rates double for freshmen who apply</p>
<p>Also keep in mind that if you fail to get into PreAdmit, you can still get into LSA and reapply during college.</p>
<p>Ross is looking for tremendous EC's and leadership postions, along with good grades and scores, for a freshmem admit. Hopefully connections like you mentioned should not help, this corrupts the system, get in on your own merit!</p>
<p>well that certainly is what i'm trying to do</p>
