is your school only for indian kids lol?</p>

<p>are you wanting to major in engineering or business? as a female, choosing to major in engineering would have increased your chances of getting in... i'll assume it's business though since you applied to UMich-Ross.</p>

<p>UVA - Likely
Carnegie Mellon - Likely
Tepper - Not Sure
Barnard - Not Sure
Georgetown - Somewhat Likely
UChicago - Likely
Harvard - Somewhat Likely
Duke - Somewhat Likely
UPenn - Somewhat Likely
Johns Hopkins - Likely</p>

<p>strongest part of your app is your test scores; weakest is your ECs. they are impressive but if you don't have a reason for doing them it may look like you were just trying to build a resume. on the contrary, if you explained them and conveyed a genuine interest in them (like improving the clubs, etc. you were in), they are actually pretty strong.</p>

<p>no its like CCD but its for hinduism, nor christianity. i explained all of my ecs and related them to my interests and explained how i improved. and everything that i listed i have a legitimate interest in, none of them are resume padding except latin club, but i dont think i even wrote that. and ive spent a lot of time in all of them. </p>

<p>for UMIch and CMU, im applying to the business schools. everywhere else im applying as either an econ or math major.</p>

well, what i was really try to get at is are a majority of ECs things that already existed or did you start any of them? or, if they already existed, did you bring anything new to the club?</p>

<p>not all of them, but the majority are. i didnt start them, but i did bring new things to the clubs. but i might also just be saying that to make myself feel better.</p>
