Chance me! OSU, UMich, USC, Miami, Case Western

I am a rising senior. I know USC and UMich are massive reaches, and my only concern with the others is that my ECs are pretty subpar. Haven’t decided for sure on a major yet, but I think I’d like to major in either poli sci or English along w/pre-med classes. Any input is appreciated! Thanks!

The Ohio State University (Main campus)
University of Michigan - Ann Arbor

I remember when my Desi parents got so involved in my UMich and USC applications lol. Looking at your ACT and GPA, you have a pretty good shot at both schools. I’m going to attend UMich next year and OOS admissions can be a gamble (I’m from Chicago so I went through that too). Honestly, I think you have a good chance. I’m sure you’ll get in to the other schools on the list. Just make sure your essays are good for UMich and USC. Otherwise, you have a pretty decent chance at both of those schools. Don’t forget to visit the schools by the way.That’s all I got right now! See you on campus next year!

UMich should be a high match for you.
