....also think about applying to University of Miami and Tulane as Well, any thoughts or chances on those colleges?</p>
<p>and if any of those colleges seem out of reach, what colleges do you recommend that would be in reach for me?</p>
<p>i would really appreciate all input</p>
<p>in state or out of state applicant to uofm? trust me, it makes a huge difference.</p>
<p>out of state. im from Cali</p>
<p>its tough for uofm… i think you shud apply regualr decision and try to get ur GPA up</p>
<p>if i applied regular, and got all A’s first semester (4.6) do you think that would make a big difference?</p>
<p>also…what about University of Miami as well?</p>
<p>Let me ask you this. What will you do differently no matter what anyone tells you on here? Just apply and see what happens.</p>
<p>Have you been to UM’s campus? It sucks 
But good luck though</p>
<p>out of state will be harder for you. =(</p>
<p>like i said fallenchemist, your 100% right im applyin either way, really appreciate it, i jus want some input</p>
<p>and what about UCSB being in reach?</p>
<p>U of M may be a slight reach. They like in state applicants, but it also makes a difference depending on what you’re applying for (applying for art would be different from applying to engineering)</p>
<p>btw the campus is gorgeous if you don’t mind walking and taking the bus a lot to get around.</p>
<p>Slight reach for UM, and normal reach for Tulane. Tulane has higher stats, accepts less students, and has just 27% of apps are admitted. Your ECs though look fantastic, could set you apart.</p>
<p>Please chance back!
