<p>How I see it:</p>

<p>Northwestern EA low reach
Univeristy of Michigan low reach
University of Illinois - Urbana Champaign low match
Rice reach
Carnegie Mellon low reach
Purdue low match
UW-Madison match
WashU reach
UMinn-Twin Cities safety</p>

<p>i agree with 2-iron on everything except northwestern, which is not a low reach, it is a reach
your low unweighted GPA will hurt you badly</p>

4

<p>What was your GPA last year (junior year)? It would help you if the lower grades were confined to sophomore year.
Colleges will appreciate the strength of your curriculum. I don't think NU is such a reach.</p>

5

<p>Sophomore year GPA:
W: 4.167
UW: 3.333 :(</p>

<p>Junior year GPA:
W: 4.5
UW: 3.667</p>

<p>Well my junior year was a third of a point better than my sophomore year, but still not spectacular...</p>

<p>EDIT: I forgot PreCalc Honors to my honors list, not like it makes much of a difference :P</p>

<p>bump :( (10char)</p>

7

<p>Last bump :(</p>

<p>Northwestern (EA)--reach
Univeristy of Michigan--high match
University of Illinois - Urbana Champaign--match
Rice--low reach
Carnegie Mellon--low reach
Purdue--match
UW-Madison--safety
WashU--high match
UMinn-Twin Cities--low match</p>

<p>i think as long as your GPA shows improvement, they'll be a little (very little, but something is better than nothing) more understanding.
if your ACT score really is a33+ then you'll be okay. rock your essays though!</p>

<p>chance me back?

<p>This is really scary.
I'm a rising junior with almost identical stats, test scores, and EC's.
Plus I'm looking at many of these schools.
Definitely stickying this one.
Good luck!
BTW, which state are you from?</p>

10

<p>I'm from Illinois.</p>

<p>Thanks for the chances for everyone that replied, btw! :)</p>

<p>UMinn is less selective than Madison.</p>

12

<p>Northwestern has EA?</p>

13

<p>Northwestern is ED or RD, not EA...</p>

14

<p>Sorry, my mistake.</p>

15

<p>it looks like your indian too? that hurts with those test scores..</p>

16

<p>I take pride in my perfect math scores :(</p>

17

<p>how about your not so perfect GPA and class rank? i say deny by Rice... just cause your not in the top ten and 92 percent of their freshman class last year was in the top ten alone.</p>

18

<p>i'll say in everywhere except Michigan, where it's a crap shoot oos. I'm not saying you wont' get in, I'm just saying it's unpredictable. rice is a reach too</p>

<p>chance me too <a href="http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/569604-so-last-one-had-too-many-errors-one-s-better.html%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/569604-so-last-one-had-too-many-errors-one-s-better.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>ED would help quite a bit. Being from IL would hurt, espeically if you are from Chicago and you are probably aware of this! But just apply anyway!</p>

<p>By the way, check out MMSS! If you like stats, you'll like MMSS!!!</p>
