<p>They’re all reaches, especially the Ivies. But if you play your cards right and bump your scores, then you should be fine!</p>

<p>UMich: Match
Georgetown: High match-low Reach
Notre Dame: ||</p>

<p>UMich- Match
Georgetown- Low Reach
Notre Dame- Reach
Ivies- High reach </p>

<p>Academically you are qualified for all of these schools, even the Ivys. But they’re still reaches. Also your ECs dont really stand out.</p>

<p>UMich - Match
Notre Dame - I am not familiar with the schools admissions
Georgetown - High Match
Ivies - Reach</p>

<p>Academics are solid, not great but definitely good
ECs need a little work
Maybe get scouted as an athlete? </p>

<p>I don’t think you’ll have any problems getting into UMich.
Notre Dame shouldn’t be too big of a stressor for you if you keep your GPA at a 3.9. Even if you don’t improve to a 35 on your ACT, just make sure your essays are solid and that you have great recc letters. Your extra curriculars are pretty freakin great, so don’t worry about those either but, if possible, get a couple more leadership positions so that you stand out to Ivy league admissions.
The only thing I noticed that you might want to think of changing is your course list for 12th grade. try to get more ap/honors classes in there.
chance me please!
