<p>What are my chances of getting into U. Mich./Indiana U./Georgetown/Boston College/UNC-chapel hill/U. of Virginia?</p>
<p>ECs are very impressive. Keep building upon what you have over the next year and be sure to write about them in your essays.</p>
<p>U. mich- low match
Indiana U.- safety
Georgetown- low to mid reach, GPA is a weakness.
Boston College- high match/low reach
UNC- low reach
U. Virg.- high match/low reach</p>
<p>My advice is to take the SAT and ACT as many times as you can, if you think you can improve your scores. You have a lot of time before your stats are set in stone, so you can definitely pull some of those reaches into the high match range. </p>

<p>I concurr that improving on your scores would be a must have for you. Hope for a 27-29 first take, then work very seriously to get it to 30-32 (32 would be best).
As a reach, I’d say NYU Stern since they’ll be impressed with the entrepreneurial spirit demonstrated by your EC’s, as well as the 14 college credits (as long as you have mostly A’s in them.
Many schools on your list will cost $45-50,000 to an OOS applicant: talk with your parents and see what they’re willing/able to pay for college.
U. Mich./Indiana U = unlikely financially speaking, academic reaches
Georgetown = reach but possible
Boston College = only if you don’t need financial aid
UNC-chapel hill/U. of Virginia = reaches but at least financially possible since they offer aid to OOS students.</p>
<p>You have your dream colleges - try looking for 2 safeties you like and can afford (probably one would be OSU or Miami-Oxford) and a couple matches (you’re reasonably sure you can get into them and the Net Price Calculator tells you they’re within budget for your parents and/or you can get merit aid/financial aid).</p>
