<p>barnard - good chance
wash u in st. louis - OK chance
oberlin - good chance
wesleyan - OK chance
northwestern - OK chance
tufts-decent chance
umich-OK chance (OOS + they weight GPA heavily)
conn coll - in
hamilton coll-in
mcgill-good chance</p>
<p>wash u in st. louis - Slight Reach / Reach
northwestern - Slight Reach / Reach
tufts - Slight Reach
umich - Slight Reach (OOS)...I had a 3.6 UM / 3.65 UW + 32 ACT + legacy + in-state + app finished in sept and I got deferred (though accepted in December oddly enough o.O)</p>
<p>It will be hard to gauge ur app unless we know how long uve done gymnastics. If its like a 10 year deal, it could be a very strong extracurricular, because the rest of your exc kinda suck sorry. But strong act, and low GPA will probably result in this
barnard-okay chance
wash u in st. louis-slight reach-REACH
wesleyan-slight reach
northwestern-reach
tufts-slight reach
umich-slight reach if oos
conn coll-in
hamilton coll-match/slight reach
mcgill-ok chance</p>
<p>thanks guys.
for some reason, i had the impression that mbury and wesleyan were harder to get into than wash u or northwestern cause theyre smaller -- but i guess i was wrong, from what ya'll are saying?</p>
