<p>I don’t think U of MN-TC is a safety for me… I know people getting turned away with 3.9’s and 32’s.</p>

<p>bump 10 char</p>

<p>UIUC-reach
U of Washington-Seattle-low reach
Indiana U-Bloomington-match
Purdue U-high match
U of MN Twin Cities-match
UMich-reach
Ohio State-high match
Michigan State-safety/low match
UW-Madison-reach ( I am from WI and Madison is VERY competitive this year …esp OOS. and they are numbers oreinted)
Florida State U-reach
U of Iowa-match
Vandy-HIGH reach
Wake Forest-high reach
U of Arizona-safety/low match…prolly safety</p>

<p>why not apply to some schools with more holistic admissions? Public schools that only care about numbers are not the best option for you with those stats…but your class rigor and ECs are impressive, so LACs or private research unis would take more kindly to that.</p>

<p>chance me?
