UT Austin
Notre Dame
IU Bloomington

<p>UPenn: Rejected
NYU Stern, UMich: Unlikely
Good shot at rest</p>
<p>I would say you have good shots at all those schools, even Penn. If I were looking strictly based on your grades, I wouldn't be surprised if you got into all those schools.</p>
<p>However, you don't seem to have any focused, passionate EC, and that looks like it is going to hurt you. You can compensate a little bit for that by tailoring your essays towards developing one of your ECs.</p>
<p>Good shot at Michigan and NYU</p>
<p>Wow a bit contradictory?</p>
<p>good shot at all- i would say ur a match at all but Wharton...with a 32 you're in at NYU and most likely Mich-- take the act..maybe prep a little bit</p>
<p>do you really have a varsity badminton team??
that's awesome!</p>
<p>I figured Penn was a bit too far of a reach for me. I'm still not really keen on leaving state unless I get a really good offer somewhere.... hm..</p>
<p>Yup our team was first in state two years in a row, but lost it last year. We're training a lot this season to get back up there. And I'm thinking being a state athlete won't look too shabby on my app either ;D</p>
<p>upenn rejected
mich rejected
everything else...maybe probably!</p>
<p>remember it's business for UMich, which i think is 2-3% for incoming freshman of all freshman. that's why i think everyone's giving rejections. if it was another major you would probably get in.</p>
<p>How much will increasing my ACT scores up my chances at the schools... and should I take some SAT II's?</p>
<p>It is getting difficult to predict admissions due to the surge in applications during the past two years. Many posters may not realize how difficult out-of-state admission to UNC is.Emory has become less predictable and is not a sure bet for you. Penn is unlikely as nothing really stands out in your posted profile as a distinguishing passion or achievement. In my opinion, only UIUC & Indiana @ Bloomington are sure admits for you.</p>
<p>UNC: Reach (OOS)
UPenn: Reach
UVA: Reach (OOS)
Emory: Fit
CMU (Carnegie Mellon, right?): Fit
Wash U: Reach
NYU Stern: Fit
UMich: Fit</p>
<p>All others are pretty sure admits.</p>
