<p>hey, I'm thinking about applying to Cornell and UMich but my mom says its not worth it because I don't have much of a shot. Although I think thats more true for Cornell possibly, I disagree more about UMich. So any thoughts would be appreciated.</p>

<p>I'm a white male from NY at a large public high school.</p>

<p>UW GPA: 3.8
W GPA: 4.2
Rank: 40/900 TOP 5%
SAT: 2020 (Reading-590, Writing-650, Math-780)
ACT: 29 (just retook it this month, guessing 30-31)
APs: US History-3, English lang-3</p>

<p>Rigorous Senior Schedule:
AP Chem
AP Calc BC
AP English Lit
AP Computer Science
AP Spanish</p>

<p>Average ECs:
2 yrs Varsity spring track
1 year varsity winter track
Operation Donation Club
Volunteer at local food pantries, community soccer club + soccer tryouts + concession stand.</p>

<p>Very good grades although Testing and EC’s are really lacking. Cornell would be a High Reach due to low reading score and UMich would be a Low Reach.</p>

<p>I’ve seen kids with your scores get into Michigan.</p>
