<p>i have a unique background. I didnt go to school from grades 4-8. instead, i was sent to a religious institution to become a leader. During this time frame, I only devoted a max of 2 hrs to school everyday. thats why my grades as well as course rigor slowly increase as time went on. </p>

<p>also, I have a letter of rec from my counselor and 3 letters from core class teachers</p>

<p>You have a solid chance for UMich, WashU, and Johns Hopkins. I would say Duke, Dartmouth and Brown are more reaches, but you are definitely a solid candidate!</p>

4

<p>Where is your home state? What is your intended major? And what is your uwGPA?
I can’t give you chance without these. However, your ACT is below admission average of UMich as they don’t superscore.</p>

5

<p>@billcsho MI, psych, 3.85</p>

6

<p>@TopTier what do you think my chances are? you have some insightful posts and I want to hear your opinion</p>

7

<p>@rifraf In that case, in state applying to LSA with GPA 3.85 and ACT 31 would be a match for you at UMich.
Brown, JHU, and Duke would be reaches.</p>

<p>Duke - Accepted/Waitlisted
UMich - Accepted
WashU - Accepted
JHU - Waitlisted
Dartmouth - Accepted/Waitlisted
Brown - Waitlisted</p>

<p>Your numbers/courseload are okay, but nothing seems to really stand out except your background circumstances. If you devote an essay to that, then you’ll have a wonderful chance at these schools. Good luck!</p>

<p>Please chance me back :slight_smile:

<p>I don’t think it matters that your big brother & big sister were part of the high school mentor program for 2 years. the colleges really want to see your development over the years, not theirs. </p>

<p>You’ll get into michigan, but probably only one of the others at best</p>

<p>Bump. Cmon guys! Another thing, I took the Physics and Bio M SAT 2s today and I think I did well. Hopefully this improves my chances</p>

11

<p>Give up on Ivy League schools. They definitely do not subscore the ACT and your score is low for Ivies. Scores are the first thing they look at and you should look up some articles about Asians needing higher scores to get in.</p>

12

<p>In my opinion:
Duke - Reach/High reach
U of M - Match (in state)
Wash U StL - Reach
JHU - Reach/High match
Dartmouth - Reach
Brown - Reach</p>

<p>. . . and, @rifraf, thanks for your gracious comment. </p>

<p>Update: I got a 770 on the physics subject test and a 740 on the bio m subject test.
So my SAT 2s are:
math 2:770
Physics:770
Chem:750
Bio M:740</p>
