<p>Hello all! I am a white male senior from New Jersey who attends a fairly good high school (ranked in top 15% of public schools in state).</p>

<p>I know I am only taking two APs this year, but I am taking two advanced math classes this year beyond BC calculus for which there are no corresponding AP exams.</p>

<p>Activities:
-President of a cultural club at school, very active

-University of Wisconsin
-University of North Carolina (legacy)
-University of Notre Dame

<p>What do you think my chances are for these schools? Also, do I still have much of a chance at Duke and UVA, where I have been deferred?</p>

<p>You didn’t mention your major. Regardless, you have a decent chance at Rice.</p>

5

<p>Oop sorry. I applied to the liberal arts school within each (LSA, CAS, etc.) and at Rice I applied for humanities with my intended major as history.</p>

<p>Hi, I think I may be able to answer Michigan well for you since I’m from Ann Arbor. If you were in-state, I would give you 10/10. But since you’re out state, it’s a bit tricky. You’re going up against an extremely competitive out state group mixed with some very competitive international students. That said, I think you still have a very good chance of being accepted, but don’t absolutely count on it. :)!</p>

<p>I forgot to add that I am a national merit finalist. Would that have any effect or not really?</p>

<p>It obviously has an effect, just not the effect that can make or break a decision. UW Gpa / Standardized Test Scores / Class Rigor first. always. I wouldn’t fret, you’ll find a good school :-). Sucks that you live in state though with no high-tier public schools though!</p>

<p>As a current out of state student at UMich, I hope I can help you feel confident that you have a pretty decent shot. Something I like about Michigan is that since they don’t conduct interviews, a lot of what they base admissions on is your essays. As long as they convey a genuine desire to attend Michigan and speak to something about yourself as an individual, you have great chances of acceptance. :slight_smile: I’m in the Honors Program, and most of the out of staters I know have stats similar to yours. Most of us got in EA…but I think you are fine.</p>
