<p>About my school: A top NC school. A Wake and UNC-CH "feed school" ... we send our top 10% to those schools, generally. The top of the class go to Duke or a top 20 school. We've had several students at Duke & UMich (focusing on where I'm applying).</p>

<p>Interviews?: Had two; one at Wake, another at Duke. Both went fairly well. :3</p>

<p>Essays?: They should all be pretty good. The UMich essay was edited by a professional edition.</p>

<p>Recs?: Should be all decent. I am considering submitting a second recommendation to UMich.</p>

<p>Hooks?:
Legacies at UMich (Grandpa, uncle, cousin), UNC-CH(Dad, mom, brother, and 7 more), and Wake(aunt).
More about UMich: I had a family friend, a very respected professor at UM write me a recommendation. I also visited the campus, had my counselor call my application counselor, and I personally (and politely) updated my EC's there.</p>

<p>More about Wake: My step dad works there as a professor part time (this does not help with my tuition, unfortunately). I also take lessons from the flute teacher there.</p>

<p>Applying to: UMich (LSA - deferred w/o ACT score, or midyear report), Wake, UNC-CH, and Duke</p>

<p>I applied everywhere undecided with an interest n cellular biology/clinical psychology/music theory and composition. :)</p>

<p>Great chances at UNC and umich. Good chances for wake. Duke is probably a toss up but not completely out of reach.</p>

3

<p>Duke is definitely my reach. Thanks for the chance though, GeeFizz! :smiley: I’m kinda concerned about my chances at UMich, personally. But I’m glad you think I have a shot. x3</p>

<p>I’d say you’ve definitely have good odds at UNC, Michigan (the recommendation from a professor there will definitely help), and Wake. Duke is probably a bit reach if they put a big emphasis on SAT scores, but other than that you’ve got a good chance given your courseload, school, GPA and ECs.</p>

<p>please chance me back <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1297808-last-chances-will-chance-back.html#post13958030[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1297808-last-chances-will-chance-back.html#post13958030&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>I do think Duke emphasizes SAT scores over GPA … My scores are in range, but really kinda ‘meh’ for Duke. Hence, it is a reach. I’ve worked very hard and I have applied to very good schools. I’ll be happy where-ever I end up going.</p>

6

<p>Yeah compared to what I’ve seen of UNC-CH applicants in-state, you have a very good shot there. I don’t know about UMich; however. Wake Forest a good shot as well. I would have to agree and say Duke is the reach, but thats good, I hate Duke (Die hard tar heel fan :P)</p>

7

<p>I’m not too sure about the other two schools but Duke definitely looks like it will be a bit of a reach. Both your SAT and SAT II’s are a bit low. Somewhat surprising to see a 640 on Math 1, especially with your GPA and rank. Other than that though you’re application looks pretty solid. </p>

<p>Chance back? <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1298080-chance-me-please-will-chance-back.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1298080-chance-me-please-will-chance-back.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Yeah, my SAT scores in general are low. I’m not a very good test taker, though I think my GPA correlates with my general intelligence/ability in college. I can’t sit down to take a test for 4 hours. For some reason, the ACT was a little less pressured and more entertaining for me to take.
I’ll chance you guys back.</p>

<p>buuuummmmpppppp.</p>

<p>bump-ity bump-tiy bump.</p>

<p>I’m going to bump this again, actually, by stating that I was accepted at Wake and UNC this past weekend. I am still waiting for UMichigan and expecting rejection at Duke at least.
OH and excuse my typos in the original post. I made that post on a tablet. /laughs.
" The UMich essay was edited by a professional edition. " – Goodness, I hope so!</p>
