weak ec for duke, michigan, and ut

Your EC’s are weak/conventional, especially since you’re applying to some selective schools (especially from out of state for at least UT or UM). You should work on bolstering your EC’s and I think you’d have a stronger application.

Otherwise-
Duke- Reject
Michigan- Waitlist/reject
UT- Accept/waitlist
Northwestern- Reject
Berkeley- Waitlist/reject
CM- Accept
Purdue- Accept

Hope I was at least a little bit helpful- chance me back?
