<p>bump. come on guys…</p>

3

<p>still nothing.</p>

4

<p>Still…Nothing</p>

5

<p>Can’t help you as I don’t know much about those schools, but seriosuly- a 3.6 is not bad unless you’re aiming for HYPS…seriously.</p>

6

<p>Hmmmm, I know UNC is a little tricky for OOS, so I would call it a reach, Michigan falls in the same category. Wisconsin is probably high match (?) but I don’t know much about it. Mizzou should be a shoo in for you.</p>

<p>Chance me back? <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/898730-chances-duke-penn-cornell.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/898730-chances-duke-penn-cornell.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

7

<p>Thank you! Anyone else?</p>

8

<p>I think you’re good for all these places, if not all, UNC is the only iffy one. I think you’re doing really well.</p>

9

<p>University of North Carolina–Reach, harder for OOS from what I know.</p>

<p>University of Michigan - This is though because of the legacy, but your W GPA doesn’t get into UMich’s 3.7-4.0 average range, so get it up and you will be in the low reach/high match range. But for now its a reach.</p>

<p>University of Wisconsin- Low Reach</p>

<p>Mizzou (like 5,000 legacies here)- IN</p>

<p>University of Illinois- My cousin was WL’d, but later accepted after having a 3.9 UW, 31 ACT for Biochem…But I hear they are accepted more OOS (he was instate) to help make more money. So eh, match.</p>

<p>Clemson University - Not too sure, but some “not-too-smart” kids I know got in, from Illinois, so it can’t be hard. Match?</p>

10

<p>Sweet thank you! Ya I know North Carolina’s a crazy reach for me, but I can dream can’t I? haha</p>
