<p>Your unweighted GPA is good, but with poor SATs and APs all of these are tough but Indiana. Michigan is maybe 50-50. With better SATs (like 2100 plus), even Carnegie Mellon and Cornell would be possibilities. </p>
<p>If you are in-state, you would qualify for all of the state schools (that is, Virginia if you live there, Texas if you live there, North Carolina if you live there), but out-of-state, you picked three of the toughest schools (along with UC Berkeley) for business students to get into.</p>
<p>Well, you should be good at Virginia, maybe Michigan, definitely at NYU, Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, and, what the heck, give either UNC or Texas a try.</p>
<p>thank you i appreciate your words of encouragement
if i understand correctly, University of Michigan recalculates my grade
my grade, recalculated in umich method, drops miserably.
they only count my sopho and junior. then they drop B+
i had 3.54 unweighted, 3.614 weighted in my sopho and had 3.914 unweighted, 4.233 weighted in my junior year (without using the method)
so basically, recaculated, my gpa is 3.6296 unweighted
do i still have a crack at umich?

<p>Average GPA UW is 3.72, so you are a little low, but you have probably taken more tough courses than their average student. You do need to realize that 28% of their acceptances last year went to valedictorians, so that means they must also be letting in some students with GPAs around where you are--and you have a great upward trend. Like I said, you are about 50-50--so make that essay a good one. </p>
<p>Try to get great grades your first semester--then rush those grades to them while they are still making final decisions.</p>
<p>I don't know how difficult admissions to UT are OOS, I almost applied but didn't because of the top 10% rule thinking I had bad chances. Comparable stats to you. I think you could get in to UT, I know others who got in with worse stats than you and were OOS. Indiana will give you 7k+/year to go there. It's a safety. Michigan and UNC are both reaches, UNC being bigger because of their in-state quota. Are you in-state at UVA? None of those schools are real good chances, but I wouldn't say than any are impossible.</p>
<p>thank you for your concern. I am virginia resident. does Indiana give me a reduction of 7000+ tuition fees or straight up paying me?<br>
What's UNC's in-state quota?</p>
<p>Indiana will give you $7000 in scholarships, making the overall price go down $7000. So tuition will be 12500 instead of 19500.</p>
<p>UNC reserves 82% of it's incoming freshman class spots for in-state students. Meaning OOS students only have 18% of their spots. It's in their legislation or something, but this makes OOS admissions much more difficult. The OOS acceptance rate is about 19%, where as in-state is around 58%.</p>
