<p>Your scores and GPA are good, but when I see your ECs, I have no idea what you are passionate about, what you are good at, and what your future seems to lie at. It’s really generic
There are many applicants with stellar stats AND loads of EC other than sports and club presidents, and you are most likely to be out-competed by those students. Because of that, I doubt if UMich is even a match.</p>

<p>Look at the schools like Washu. It loves high stat kids. </p>

<p>Hmm…gonna have to disagree that UMich isn’t a match. 2400 on the SAT and 4.0 unweighted GPA with 5s on all those AP tests? You have enough other ECs to show that you’re not just a robot. If Stanford’s acceptance of students with a perfect 2400 on the SAT holds true from last year, then you have a 64% chance of being accepted there (that’s what they said in a mailing we got). All of those schools except UMich are reaches but only because they are reaches for everyone. I would not be surprised if you are denied at one or more of those schools, but I bet you get accepted to 2 or more also…and I think UMich is a sure thing. Good luck.</p>

<p>That’s what I have been stressed about. I feel I did my other interests outside of the classroom justice in my essays, but hoping things fall my way at at least one of the schools. Thank you very much.@paul2752</p>
