Sat I'm retaking but its pretty low compared to act</p>
<p>PSU - low match
UWI - match
UIUC - low match
WF - match
UGA - match
U of M - reach</p>
<p>From the other thread, you are not decided on major yet, but it seems you are interested in engineering from the schools you picked. Your GPA is fine for WISC, and you should be a match to high match. If you can bring up your ACT 1 or 2 points, it will be definitely a match. For UIUC, it will be similar to WISC if you are not applying to engineering. For engineering, the mid 50 ACT is 31-34, the same as UMich CoE. The average GPA is also near the UMich CoE average of 3.9. For UIUC, you apply to a specific major, so your chance will vary. In addition, UIUC does not use SAT2 scores or recommendation for admission, that makes your GPA, SAT1/ACT scores, essay, and EC more important.</p>
<p>You should have your parchment account setup by now for your school transcript. Why don’t you fill in your profile and choose these school to see how does it chance you there? Just one reminder, the parchment database for chancing is not very up-to-date. For example, they are still using the acceptance rate for UMich from several years ago when it was around 50%. It has gone down to 33% for 2013. Anyway, you may just use that as your in-state assessment.</p>
<p>The fact your mom works for U of M makes it much, much easier for you to get in than for other kids (staff kids get as much of a boost as legacy kids and athletes).
Your odds are good at Wake Forest.
All other schools are out of state publics, meaning that you will have to pay the full cost of out of state tuition (regardless of EFC). You would get in but couldn’t afford to go. You need to find other safeties.</p>
<p>I do have a parchment account and the lowest says Georgia Tech 64% Michigan 69% Wake Forest 66% NYU 51% everything else is 80%+</p>
<p>Money’s not an issue for me and Michigan State is my absolute safety</p>
<p>Good for you. Just discount the parchment chance for UMich, the other ones are fine. I found they are still using the UMich mid 50 ACT of 27-31 from 2010-2011 (vs 29-33 in the last couple years). So ACT 29 (average ACT at that time) to have a 69% did make sense in 2010 when the acceptance rate was 50.6%. That would translate to ACT 31 (current average) to have ~45% chance these days when the overall acceptance rate is 33%. Anyway, only UMich has these big changes within the last few years since they joined commonapp. The chancing for the other schools should be more reliable.
You right that MSU is your absolute safety.</p>
<p>aside from NYU and possibly Michigan do you think I’ve got a good shot at the other schools?</p>
<p>If you can pay full-price, your odds are pretty good at all the schools you listed.
For U of M you have a definite shot because staff kids are like legacies and athletes for admissions. As long as you’re within range for the bottom 25% you should be okay, when for anyone else it’d be a long shot. Since you have an absolute safety, you’re good to go! All you need to do now is apply to all your schools and wait :)))</p>
<p>You should have a good chance at UWI, UMN, and UIUC (non engineering). For engineering, try Purdue. If you do apply to these schools, look for the mid-west exchange program that it may help you to reduce the oos tuition. Again, if you have better grades in the first semester, you have a decent chance to get into UMich. Just don’t panic if you got deferred in EA at UMich. Also, find someone to read your essays (1 for CommonApp and 2 for UMich). It will be very important for your application when you are around the 25%. Last but not least, you only have 29 more days to finish filling the application as Pioneer set a deadline on 10/11 for 11/1 EA applications.</p>
<p>My brother is editing my essays with me and he was an english major at U of M and since when was their deadline in october common app I thought since everything is online I can just send it in before the deadline almost nothing happens through the school because even recommendations happen online. and I’m not applying to Minnesota… and mostly looking at doing business but if I got accepted into Georgia Tech I might not</p>
<p>You better ask your counselor. They said you still need to meet the 10/11 deadline for CommonApp as you need to give them 15 working days to process your request and submit your recommendation as they have hundreds of recommendation to fill. They would not send your recommendation without the routing slip, and you give the routing slip to the general office only after you submitted the application online. That’s what they said last night. So you cannot wait till 10/31 to submit your application online.
By the way, you know Ross is as competitive or even more competitive than CoE at UMich if you want to study business.</p>
<p>So my Sat scores will come October 24th could i still send those than because those should send before the deadline if i send them the day i get the scores?</p>
<p>You request the free score to be sent directly to the school. Do not wait for the scores before request score report, otherwise it will definitely be late for EA. UMich do not accept expedite report.</p>
