<p>I had a 3.7 and a 29 and applied to Michigan (in-state), Wisconsin, Miami, and Indiana. I got waitlisted to Michigan, accepted to Miami and Wisconsin, and accepted with a 6K scholarship to Indiana. Wisconsin deferred me, the only reason was because I didn't include a teacher recommendation. While they aren't required, make sure you include one with your initial application as it shows that you are interested in the school.</p>

<p>Reach - USC
Slight Reach - Michigan, Vanderbilt
Match - Miami, Wisconsin, Penn State, Lehigh
Safety - Indiana</p>

<p>If you're out of state for Michigan it's going to be a bit more like a reach. Unless you bring your ACT score up into the 30s. Ditto for Vandy and USC.</p>
