<p>im going to keep bumping until some1 answers</p>

<p>Check out Wisconsin-Madison and Michigan-Ann Arbor. Michigan does not consider Freshman grades, does not look at the "stupid" writing section of the new SAT and your being a URM will help. I would say Michigan is a slight reach/match for you. Go for it and keep us posted.</p>

<p>Thanks very much for your suggestions... does anyone know whether miami university(OH) would be a match for me??</p>

<p>Miami would be a match too. Also check out Indiana University-Bloomington. Indiana would be a safety for you. Unless you wish to major in Engineering, I recommend Indiana over Purdue.</p>
