<p>Hi, so I'm planning on applying to a few schools, but I only applied to 2 early (Michigan, my top choice, and Binghamton, a safety). The general sentiment I'm getting is that I should consider applying to a few more schools in case I don't get into Michigan. Here are my stats, if it helps:</p>
<p>Ethnicity: White
State: NY
Gender: Male
School: Public
Class size: Approx. 500
GPA: 94 UW. So I think that's around 3.7-3.8 on a 4.0 scale?
Rank: School doesn't rank
APs: Spanish Lang (4), Euro (4), Bio (5) BC Calc TBD, Chem TBD
Intended major: Chemistry</p>
<p>SAT I: 2090 (680 CR, 740 M, 670 W)
SAT II: Math II-750, Chem-730
ACT: 28 composite. I didn't send this score to any schools, I thought my SAT was better.</p>
<p>EC's (I know it's not a lot):
-Summer camp counselor
-Varsity baseball since sophomore year; captain this year. All-County sophomore year, All-Conference junior year. Third team All-State.
-Marching band in freshman and sophomore years; quit junior year b/c of schoolwork
-I umpire 4th and 5th grade baseball games during the spring
-After school tutor for third graders
-NHS treasurer
-MUN officer for junior and senior years
-School paper; news page editor</p>
<p>Recs: I feel good about these. One is from my bio teacher and the other's from my precalc teacher from last year who I also had freshman year for geometry. My GC rec probably isn't anything special, though.</p>
<p>Essays: I worked really hard on them. I think they turned out better than I expected.</p>
<p>Besides UM and Bing, I also plan to apply to:</p>
<p>UMiami
Cornell
Duke
Vanderbilt
Albany
UMD-College Park
UT-Austin</p>
<p>I like bigger schools, and a good sports environment is something I'm also looking for. What other schools do you think would be a realistic shot for me getting into? I know Duke, Cornell, and Vanderbilt are probably long shots, so what are some other options I should consider?</p>
