Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>I'm a rising senior and I was just hoping to get opinions on my chances at these schools:
USC
Miami
Tulane
Vandy
TCU
Michigan</p>

<p>Grades:
3.5 w (school only gives weighted)
-huge upward trend from 2.8 freshman to 3.5 sophmore, to 4.15 junior
-2 AP classes , 5 honors
-school doesn't rank either</p>

<p>Test Scores:
31 ACT with writing (33E 35M 29R 28S 30E+w )
207 psat</p>

<p>Extracurriculars
Part time job with 25-30 hours during the school year, hold a leadership position. Highly respected at this job I put in a lot of time and effort and am passionate about it so if anyone could give me tips on how to let admissions know I put my 100% into this job and am just as involved as I would be in any EC please let me know.
Volunteering at church every other Sunday ( 5 years )
Softball freshman year
Pep club (4 years)
Fed homeless one sunday a month for a year (not sure how to list this, did it with a church group)</p>

<p>Other:
Hook : good chance of being national achievement semifinalist, URM, upward trend (potential to get better)
Race:African American
Gender:female
State: KY</p>

<p>Based on your grades, ACT score, job/ECs/volunteering, and URM status, I think these are your chances:</p>

<p>Michigan: safety
TCU: safety / low match
Tulane: mid match
Miami: high match
USC: high match / low reach
Vandy: reach</p>

<p>If you bump up your ACT (especially 32+), then these chances get even higher! :)</p>

<p>Good luck!!</p>

<p>With 3.5 (weighted), Michigan is most definitely not a safety; I’d consider it a reach.</p>

<p>Vandy and USC are reaches as well.</p>

<p>Tulane and MIami more in the match category.</p>

<p>I don’t know enough about TCU to say.</p>

<p>Another question… does my upward trend help me at all?</p>

<p>you Ec are fine, see if u have anything that u demonstrate leadership in! Admissions committees will like your constant working to show that u are a motivated and disciplined applicant. Your GPA is low, to be honest for a Weighted avg. Taking only 2 APs should not be a problem for most of these schools. Great ACt.</p>

<p>USC low reach/ match
Miami match
Tulane match
Vandy reach
TCU match
Michigan (I assume u mean UMich Ann Arbor) match.</p>

<p>chance back,</p>
