<p>I want to know what kind of a shot I have at University of Michigan, Northwestern, and Purdue Engineering schools... here are my qualifications
ACT- English-29
Mathematics-33
Reading-24
Science-32
Writing-10
Composite-30
I have only taken the ACT twice, the first was my best score as listed above, on my second attempt the only improvement was I got a 25 reading, all other scores were lower.
GPA-Weighted 4.076, unweighted 3.989
AP Classes and scores- AP Chem- 5
AP environmental science-4
AP Physics C, AP Calc, AP Statistics- all taking senior year
Course rigor- relatively difficult courses freshmen and sophomore year, difficult courses junior and senior year. One year ahead in Math (took Precalc as a freshman)
Grades- Have gotten an A in every high school course ever taken other than 2 A-'s while taking high school level math and science in middle school.
Extra Curricular- Wrestled 3 years, earned a varsity letter all 3 years, Was on Varsity track team junior year, did cross country sophomore year, did football freshmen year, Member of NHS, Coached youth wrestling team all 3 years, Tutored through NHS, Had a job this summer and plan to keep it throughout the school year, Founded a club at the middle school.
Leadership Opportunities- As mentioned above: Founded club at middle school, coached youth wrestling for 3 years.
Recommendation- Should have a great recommendation, it is coming from my AP Chemistry teacher who is a very intelligent and overqualified teacher, he also teaches college level Lab classes. He really enjoyed having me as a student and said he would love to write my recommendation.
Essays- I am a very good writer, despite my poor reading ability. I am also taking a class on how to write college essays. My common app essay will be about how I struggled with my self confidence all throughout my life from being constantly bullied and mocked, and in high school I realized none of that matters and became a stronger person. As a result of that experience I founded a club at the middle school aimed to help kids in similar situations which was a huge success.</p>

<p>So ya thats basically everything.. I just want to know what my chances are for getting into Michigan engineering, Purdue Engineering, And Northwestern Engineering. Thanks.</p>

<p>Also my school does not rank… if it were to rank Id be somewhere in the top 25 out of 350, by the end of my senior year quite possibly in the top 10</p>

<p>I’d say that they’re a match for you. But with acceptance rates low, it can be a toss up. I think that you have a relatively good shot though! Especially for Purdue! Northwestern is super selective to begin with, so I’m sure that they turn down a lot of qualified people regardless. </p>

<p>Note about the essay: good topic but make SURE it does not sound like a sob story, and focus a lot more on how you’ve changed/what being bullied has taught you/how it has affected you. </p>
