<p>Decent ECs, but UMich cares quite a bit about GPA and ACT, which might pull you back.</p>

<p>ND and UMich - Reach- Low reach
Case- Low match</p>

<p>@Woandering I’m not worried about UMich, my demonstrated interest, ECs, essays, schedule strength and letters will pull me through. My territory adcom knows me by name so that helps as well.</p>

4

<p>bump</p>

5

<p>You will get into MSU, PSU, and Miami. Rest may be low reaches </p>

<p>Best of Luck! Chance me back please

<p>UMich would be a low reach for LSA from in state. Both GPA and ACT are around 25th percentile.</p>

7

<p>bump</p>

8

<p>Bump again. Forget Notre Dame (too conservative for my tastes). How about UChicago?</p>

9

<p>Update, I got into Michigan State.</p>

<p>Congrats on Michigan State!
I think you should be for all but Notre Dame. Your test scores and rigor of courses are a little low for Notre Dame but your extracurriculars look good!</p>
