Stats:
GPA: (expected to go up at the end of this year (I’m a junior))
uw: 3.6/4
w: 3.7/4
ACT: 26 (also expected to go up, I have regularly scored 29’s on my practice tests but as of right now it’s a 26)
EC’s: (I strongly lack EC’s and I think this might be what kills me the most. How important are these in college admissions? I only figured out how important they are at the end of Soph. year. )
Gymnastics (Only freshman year due to injury)
Volunteering Club (Community service) (2 years, junior and will also do it senior)
I spend most of my extra time doing yoga, whether it’s going to classes or just doing it alone. I hope to be a yoga instructor in the future (on top of whatever job I have), so would this count as an EC? I would think no, but my college counselor said yes because an EC activity is whatever you spend your time outside of school doing.
Courseload:
Freshman year was all regular level classes with mostly A’s
Sophomore year was 1 AP and the rest regular with mostly B’s but a few A’s
Junior year was 1 AP and the rest regular with mostly B’s and a few A’s
Senior year will be 4 APs, 1 regular.

School does not rank.
Major: Education or Pre-nursing
Schools to chance me for: You don’t have to do them all, just whatever schools you know the most about! If you can give me some info on increasing my chances for the specific school that’d be great too!
Michigan State University (Used to be my safety school until I saw that some people with my stats didn’t get in!)
UIUC (Applying as education major, which requires lower scores. Obviously a reach but how much of a reach? Lol)
Indiana University
Purdue University
University of Iowa
