Essays: I have a pretty good backstory. I was born early at 27 weeks, stayed in the pediatric ICU for 2 months, and endured 5 operations before I turned one. At first, I struggled with life and beat that. Later, I had difficulty with my fine motor and gross motor development and overcame that problem. When I first went to school, I was diagnosed with ADHD and overcame that. During elementary school and the beginning of middle school, I struggled socially and academically before adjusting to the curriculum. Now, I am a successful student and individual, but I have a visual impairment. (This is gonna be the theme for one of my essays)

Aside from Michigan and Michigan State are there any low reach schools that are not crazy hard, but still relaatively reasonable for me to get into. I’m talking low reach/ contender schools.

What do you plan to study? Do you want a big or a small school? How far from home are you willing to travel? What’s important to you? Research ops? Greek life? Big sports school? Liberal or conservative? Are you looking for places where you would qualify for merit $$$? A little more insight please and I think you’ll get lots of suggestions.
