<p>*<em>Applying to *</em></p>

<p>Tulane (Top choice!... love love LOVEE)
SMU (Southern Methodist University)
University of Illinois - UC
Indiana University
Washington University
Carnegie Mellon
University of Michigan </p>

<p>Hopefully I included everything :D
Thank you all in advance! I'd love to hear if any of you are applying to these schools with similar stats - we can worry together! ><;;</p>

<p>bump bump bump
come on y’all :)</p>

<p>You should have no problem at Tulane at all. You should get a pretty decent merit scholarship too, maybe. Did you apply EA, or even SCEA? If so and if your application is complete, you should hear back soon. I think you will get into SMU, UI, and IU as well, virtually for sure. Wash U, C-M and UM are hard to say, but certainly possible. Wash U the longest shot, I think. That’s a real reach for you. C-M not quite as much a reach, but still less than 50-50 probably. UM I am not as sure. Maybe right at 50-50 or a little better.</p>

<p>SMU - You’re In</p>

<p>Tulane - Match/Your in if you did EA</p>

<p>UI (Urbana Champaign I am assuming?) - In</p>

<p>Indiana University - Low Match/safety</p>

<p>Carnegie Mellon - Match</p>

<p>University of Michigan - High Match/Low Reach</p>

<p>good luck sir!</p>

<p>I did EA for Tulane and submitted it about a week ago :smiley: I am super excited to hear back! For some reason I didn’t get a login for the application status checker, but the admission office said I can just email them and they’ll give me a new one.</p>

<p>I visited a month ago and it is amazing there… and… beads everywhere (that was fun). </p>

<p>Thank you guys so much! :smiley:
I really appreciate it!~</p>
