Looking for the right fit...any suggestions?

<p>I went to Western Michigan in the fall, got a 3.6 gpa but then enrolled in a community college where i got a 3.94. I would love to get into UofM but I am unsure if it is possible and want to explore other options. I will have 60 credit hours after this school year and I plan on raising my gpa even higher(my 3.94 at community college was because i got one A- in existentialism! lol)</p>

<p>I was a slacker in HS and my gpa is probably in the range of 2.5-3.0(probably somewhere in the 2.7 i feel) I also got a 29 on the act both times i took it(super scoring it i got a 35 english 33 science 36 reading and a 21 math)</p>

<p>I am a philosophy major and i would love to go to a liberal school. Location isn't a big deal, money is an issue but not a deal breaker(unless its crazy)</p>

<p>What would be a good fit? Are my chances of getting into Michigan decent? I work, but i don't do too many extracurricular activities. I'm highly motivated, but i value free time spent with friends, reading and writing. As far as essays go, I'm confident. Interviews are a strength. Where do I fit?</p>

<p>Try UofM (heard the philosophy program there is great) and, if you want to stay in Michigan, consider Michigan State.</p>

<p>Or you can go the other way and look into Ohio State. Maybe check out University of Maryland. It’s pretty broad but just throwing some things out there for you.</p>

<p>as a michigan fan, i don’t know if i could bring myself to attend ohio state…MSU is definitely a school i am going to apply to. I feel with my grades I will get in there without much trouble.Maryland you say? I’m going to have to go scope them out…</p>

<p>Why not try for the big times? Chicago, Columbia, Dartmouth, just to name a few.</p>

<p>I have been told that U of M has a very high acceptance rate of 50%. It doesn’t guarantee that you will get in, but it probably means you have a decent shot.</p>

<p>You’d probably be stabbed here in Ohio.</p>

<p>Just kidding.</p>

<p>Try for another MAC school :)</p>

<p>i don’t really like any of the mac schools and thats a reason I left western. I hardly tried and got a 3.6. That was when i realized it was a waste of my money and i would be better served at CC to get good grades and transfer somewhere better</p>

<p>What about MAC schools located in cities, rather than crappy, boring towns? :D</p>
