<p>I don’t think you have to worry for most of your choices except Michigan and UVA. Not sure what the pool looks like this year. What program are you applying to at SU?</p>
<p>I’ll only chance you for Michigan and Virginia, don’t know enough about the rest of your colleges to give you anything useful. You’re reaching for both, especially because you’re OOS. Your 3.6 is a bad 3.6 in that your best grades were during your freshman year, that up and down trend is not a good look. And 3.6 is on the edge of the lower end of the IQR for accepted applicants for both schools. Your ACT fits for both of the schools but Michigan’s ACT IQR is 29-33, and that includes IS applicants. It’s about the same for Virginia. You are in range but it’s not that impressive either. Your ECs look pretty good and should be competitive compared to other applicants to both schools, but it doesn’t really blow me away. For OOS, you need to be stronger than the average Michigan or Virginia admitted student. Basically a 3.8+ GPA, while taking one of the most difficult courseloads offered, and 32+ ACT makes for a competitive OOS applicant. Still, keep on working hard and try to get as high of a GPA as you can this semester, who knows what the admissions officer might see in you? Best of luck and I hope you do become a Michigan Wolverine.</p>
