One strange fact: Technically I am an plumbing apprentice. I could get my journeyman's before I go to college. Hey, women plumbers get paid at lot of money. =] Haha. </p>
<p>Anyways, chances for University of Michigan, Northwestern, Cornell, and Stanford (Both major reaches I already know.)</p>
<p>Any other suggestions for colleges would be great. I am looking to major in psychology or sociology. Want to go on to law so I can one day grow up to do something in children's rights. Also, I want to get a business degree because my family wants me to.</p>
<p>First of all, don't worry about the 3.89 UW GPA freshman year. You are in the top 2% of your class and the 33 on the ACT is very good. </p>
<p>The only reason why colleges would look down on someone with a "sub 4.0 GPA" if that person goes to a school where everyone gets 4.0's and if the person has poor test scores.. neither which is the case for you.</p>
<p>Since you are in-state, you should definitely be in Michigan.. apply there as early as possible next year. NU & Cornell are high matches and Stanford is Stanford.</p>
<p>I would also recommend Penn & Duke.. both would be reaches, but they are for just about everyone. Both have excellent pre-law programs and are fun places with bright students. </p>
<p>Finally, you get bonus points for being a plumber's apprentice, :D</p>
<p>Definitely Penn & Duke over Stanford.
Penn & Duke are about equal in difficulty, unless you were going to apply to Wharton...then Wharton may even be harder than Stanford.</p>
<p>Everybody in my family and pretty much everybody I know has gone to community colleges so I have no idea what any colleges are. My guidance counsellor is horrible to so I can't go to her for advice.</p>
<p>Yeah. I tested out of pre-calc and when I went to go ask my counselor how to sign up for the test out, she didn't even know we could. I was like uh... and how are u working here?</p>
