Matches/Reaches/Safeties ?? :-)

Hello!! I am a rising senior from Michigan and I am planning on applying to all schools EA. My dream school is the University of Michigan, and my only safety/match school so far is Michgan State University. I would really like some help in identifying schools that are reaches, safeties, and matches because I have to start applications very soon! :slight_smile:

I have a 3.93 UW GPA (my school doesn’t weight grades but weighted it would be a 4.09)
My 2 SAT scores are: 1280 (690 CR 590 M 18/24 Essay) and 1250 (660 CR 590 M 21/24 Essay)
APs: US History + Lang: 4 Government: 5
Classes: In my school, underclassmen aren’t typically allowed to take AP classes, and honors/IB is not offered. However I did take Spanish for 4 years beginning in 8th grade and ending my junior year. My junior year I took 3 APs and for senior year I will be taking another 3 or 4 (World History, Human Geography, and English Lit) because I am considering taking AP Stats instead of Precalculus. I am thinking I am in the top 25% for my GPA only because there are many people with 4.0 and high 3.9s that take easy classes to maintain their grade.

My extracurriculars are:
Tutoring in Spanish
Model UN (Junior Secretary General)
Gay Straight Alliance (Vice President)
A local community service club (Co-leader)
Foreign Exchange
National Honor Society
Babysitting and working part-time as a lab technician
Piano

Race/Ethnicity/Sex: I am the daughter of Ethiopian immigrants (so a black female)

I would really appreciate thoughts on my chances of getting into UMich and any suggestions on schools to apply to. If you have any more questions about my stats or other information please feel free to ask! Thank you so much!! :slight_smile:

Bump!!

I think you have a good chance at getting into UMich. It’s really hard to suggest schools for you because we know nothing about your personality and where you would fit in and be happy at. A much more efficient way is to research schools yourself, compile a list, and then come back here to classify the schools as reach/match/safety. Hope this helps!

Thank you for the reply! :slight_smile:
