<p>EXCELLENT teacher rec, and decent counselor rec
EXCELLENT essays bout my passion for geology</p>

<p>Thanks so much, and I know NU is a reach, but why not take a shot, you never know!</p>

2

<p>I wanted to add
Weighted GPA- 4.21
Unweighted- 3.72</p>

3

<p>BUMP please!</p>

4

<p>You are not likely to get into Michigan and NU.</p>

5

<p>Good ECs, but since college is primarily an academic affair, and your academic stats are... subpar for UMich (assuming you're out of state) and NU, especially when considering the general academic strength of NU admits and the fact that big state schools like UMich pay more attention to stats than others.</p>

6

<p>Weil123 apply to Michigan ASAP. Your stats fit in the range.</p>

7

<p>Thanks excel...I submitted on Sept 11 and my file was complete by oct 1 so i should hear soon...I hope for the best, mich is my number 1!</p>

8

<p>i kind of disagree.... I think you have a good shot at Mich... not so much at NU tho...but i think u knew that</p>

9

<p>I agree with Ray, U of M's OOS admit stats are slightly higher then yours. I think it'd be a reach</p>

10

<p>Thanks for the insight guys...I know NU is a total reach, but im makin straight As this semester in 6 AP classes, and they get those grades. My mom wants me to apply b/c you never know what could happen, since my ECs are so good in geology, they might want me..who knows??!!</p>

11

<p>i think you meant 81st percentile not 19th. you have a moderate chance at u of mich.</p>

12

<p>Thanks guys...any1 else?</p>
