<p>I think you have a great chance of getting into these schools. Your ECs are solid! The only thing that would probably be iffy would be your GPA, but im sure admissions also considers the difficulty of your schedule.</p>
<p>@op
One of the first thing about “chances” is checking with the historical on college admission within your own school.</p>
<p>if your school does not have Naviance, you may want to reach out to your counselor to see how former students within your range did in the last application cycle to give you a baseline.</p>
<p>However, take that with a grain of salt as what a school looked for in its applicants last year may not be what they are looking for this year.</p>
<p>For the schools to which you are considering/have considered below are my questions.</p>
<p>Do you have peers applying as well and how do you think they stack up against you GPA, Scores, Rank, Awards, EC’s ?</p>
<p>Do you know if these students are getting into these schools to which you are applying? </p>
<p>Do you believe these students will garner similar LOR to what you have?</p>
<p>If all of the above are similar, its really hard to say, as the college will choose who they believe are the best fit for them.</p>
<p>Financial wise, NYU is infamous I understand for not so good aid and UMICH cost a lot for OOS if you are unable to secure one of their top scholarships. </p>
<p>Congrats, because you already have an acceptance under your belt.</p>
