For UMich, did you apply EA?
Your GPA is a bit low for UMich while your test scores are within admission range although there are rooms for improvement, for instance, your CR score. Ross pre-admission is a reach for anybody due to the low admission rate. For UMich LSA, it would be a low reach for you assuming you are from out of state mainly because of you suboptimal GPA and low admission rate.
Chicago, Virginia, and Carnegie Mellon may be a slight reach but the rest look very realistic. U of M you’re a shoe in. I used to work there. Chance me back please.
I think CM is a huge reach, but the others could be doable thanks to your SAT. What’s your M+CR? Are you full pay? Honestly, Rutgers Business New Brunswick was my safety too, and now I’m strongly considering as a choice.
@jnkam24 It would be amazing if I made CMU, seriously. My M+CR is 1440. I would need financial aid.
Rutgers is probably my last choice, mostly because I don’t want to be so close to home.
