<p>JHU is a reach (I am assuming your uw GPA is below a 3.5), do you have a reason for the grades?</p>

<p>Considering there are so many people in NJ you may have a harder time than most also because you’re white. I would say NYU and UMich are high matches or low reaches and JHU is a high reach simply because of GPA and lack of AP classes.</p>

<p>Chance back?? :slight_smile:

<p>Alright, JHU is a reach, especially with that GPA. UMich is a goal/lower reach. And NYU would be around a goal area, closer to the safety side.</p>

<p>@ArtsyGirl13 I’d say that I just don’t have the time to study as much as a lot of other kids because I don’t get home from extracurricular stuff at the school until around 8 every night and then I work on my business as well as writing articles for other websites. It’s no excuse though and I don’t want to seem like someone who makes excuses.</p>

<p>I’d say NYU and Mich are going to be low reaches at this point in time. Bring the gpa up and then the test scores up. Your EC’s are completely fine. JHU is a reach at this point because of how focused they are with academics etc. </p>

<p>chance me back bud?

<p>In my opinion:
UMich: High match-low reach
NYU: low reach, if you ED i think you will get in or at least have a good shot
JHU: reach, yeah JHU is a very score based college so I would say it will be very difficult for you</p>

<p>A website with a good college chance calculator is [Parchment</a> - Transcript Ordering and College Admissions Chances | Parchment Inc.](<a href=“http://www.parchment.com%5DParchment”>http://www.parchment.com) Just fill out your data correctly. Their results are pretty accurate, so check them out. Definitely more reliable than some people on this forum. </p>

<p>Good luck with everything!</p>
