<p>Recommendations: Pretty good</p>

<p>Essay: I wrote about how I was a failing student in math that managed to become an A student. I went from flunking Algebra I in 8th grade to AP statistics and Pre-Calculus.( I will also go in depth about how I improved, and how I felt when I was failing. The part about me being a teacher of math is the catch, I guess!)</p>

<p>Another one I had was about me losing my shyness and stepping up to become president of a philosophy club, and how I did presentations, and facilitated/led activities for over 100 people.</p>

<p>Other:
-I am in the top 10% of my class of 300 at an OKAY high school [about 20 people each year end up at pretty good schools. (UCLA,UCB,etc.)]
-I am also low income.
-I will be the first in my family to attend a university.</p>

<p>Thank you for reading! Please chance me, and I'll do my best to chance you back! :)
Once again, the schools I applied for:</p>

<p>University of Michigan Ann Arbor

<p>I think you shouldn’t have an issue getting into any of your schools. I don’t really know a lot about any of the schools besides Chapel Hill, but I know that Chapel Hill is difficult to get accepted to out of state, however, like I said, your GPA, EC’s, and grades are all impressive, so good luck.</p>

<p>Thanks! It’s too bad only one person has replied so far ): The problem is a lot of the schools are not in California, so I’ll be applying OOS, so I’ll have to be a lot more competitive than an in-state student.</p>

4

<p>I understand. A lot of mine are out of state too, so its kind of difficult to gauge.</p>

5

<p>you should get into all of these universities with your stats. You won’t have any trouble at all.</p>

6

<p>Wow, thanks! Do you think I have a chance at a low Ivy?</p>

<p>UCB/UCLA: Match. Pretty selective schools, but since you’re in-state, I’m fairly certain you’ll get into at least one of these, with your stats/ECs/Essays</p>

<p>Other UCs: Safety. </p>

<p>University of michigan: Match. Although you’re out of state, I think you have a good chance.</p>

<p>UNC: Match. You seem well qualified, even for an OOS.</p>

<p>And for the Claremount colleges, I think you have a good chance to get in.</p>

<p>I think lower-ivy league schools will be reaches though. But you’d have a shot at anywhere, so maybe try applying to schools like Cornell, Brown, Penn.</p>
