<p>I am wondering if I have a good/okay chance at these schools:
University of Michigan
Vanderbilt
USC
University of North Carolina
Boston College
University of Virginia
(these are my reach schools, I have applied to many other schools where I know I can get in)
I am an African American student. I have a 3.3 GPA underweight and a 3.7 weighted. I got a 3.85/4.03 this last semester though. I am in almost all AP/honors classes. I have great essays and teacher recommendations. My test scores are alright, but my SAT extra scores of US history and English were good. I go to a college prep school/ top school in my city.
These are my extracurricular activities/ awards I have received.
I was teen chair for Relay to life which is where we raise money and run for a cure for Brest cancer. </p>
