Your GPA is great!! At these schools, the admissions process might not be as selective but if you have good grades and test scores you could definitely go to school on a scholarship. GPA is good, I would try to get your ACT up to at least above a 30, if you’re looking more toward Northwestern I would say at least a 32 or 33. I would also try to score really high on the AP tests you’re taking (admissions officers love to see 4s and 5s). As far as extra-curricular, you have a lot of leadership positions, but admissions officers might be little bit skeptical of this (they’ll wonder how you have time to sleep :)), so I think you should try to narrow your interests down to a few things, and really excel in those. It might also be good to start a community service project, since you seem really into leadership activities. Also, with the whole Turning the Tide report released by Harvard this spring, community service is becoming very important to selective colleges. You seem like a strong applicant! Good Luck! :slight_smile:

Can someone chance me please?

Nationality: Indian
Colleges I will be applying to:
Umich
UT Austin
UC Berkeley
Uiuc
UNC Chapel Hill

Retake the SAT and try for a 660 on reading and 690 on math. That’s the 25th percentile for UMich. Look through the class profiles of each college to see where you stand. Your EC’s are great, and so is your GPA. Do your best on the SAT and your essays and you’ll be fine.

Update:
SAT: 1380 with 700 on english and 680 on math

Does Ohio State typically send out letters of acceptance or do they use some other method of communication to notify acceptance?
