<p>I think I am forgeting some stuff, but that's it for now. If you have any questions, just ask. Thanks for any and all of the help! </p>

<p>Oh yeah. I have talked to various admissions counsilors at smaller schools who say that I am pretty much in. Out of the smaller schools, my top choices are Grand Valley State and Hope. I am possibly looking at Wayne State if I can get into the MedStart program.</p>

<p>Once again, thanks for all of the help!</p>

2

<p>Yeah, you're probably in. Good grades + good ACT + decent ECs + URM = in at Michigan. Just make sure you apply early.</p>

3

<p>I'd be very surprised if you did not get in</p>

4

<p>If you apply early action, I don't see how you could possibly get denied or deferred. Your stats are almost the same as mine, and I got in.</p>

5

<p>Just an update...I just recieved my Feb. ACT scores and got a 34.
I also forgot to say that I got a 5 on the AP US History Test last year.</p>

6

<p>Thanks so far.
Can anyone give me an idea of where else I can get into out of state, along with my chances at UofM?</p>

7

<p>Match of UofM for sure.
You could consider UC schools also! You could also look at some Ivy Leagues if you would like to!</p>

8

<p>Thanks. What Ivies do you think that I have a chance of getting into?</p>

9

<p>Cornell University is a good chance. a low reach possibly.
If you did ED to Columbia University, you would have a good chance in getting into.</p>

10

<p>I would be suprised if you didn't get in. If I were you i would look at some Ivys too.</p>

<p>hey_pal-What Ivies do you think that I have a chance of getting into?</p>

12

<p>UofM definitely seems like a match, i'm sure you're going to get in</p>

13

<p>You have a legitimate chance of getting into some of the easier ivies like Cornell, Darthmouth, or ED Columbia and ED UPenn. As far as the others go, it's a possibility but I wouldn't count on it because there's a lot of luck involved. You could also consider applying to some other upper tier schools like Wash U, Cal Berkely, Northwestern, and NYU.</p>
