<p>I would think good chance at first 3 and high match at the bottom 3. Good GPA, good rank, ok rigor, ACT in range for all the schools and some decent EC. Your top 3 are reasonably competitive schools, though, so you never know. I think you have a good list. Good luck</p>

<p>good luck! If you apply to Macalester, try to do an interview and submit a portfolio of some sort. Since it’s a LA school, you could add whatever you want to the portfolio pretty much (dance, film, writing, ect). Twin Cities may be a good fit too seeing as you already did CIS (which I assume is the same as PSEO). </p>

<p>I don’t have a lot of experience with this but I’m from the twin cities and know these schools so I’ll give my 2 cents.
It is almost certain you will get into the U of M and highly likely you could get into UW Madison and St. Olaf. Carleton is a possibility but I wouldn’t count on it. You have a good chance at Grinnell and Macalester (especially ED) but I can’t say for sure. Good luck!</p>
