<p>test scores way too low for OOS. you'll have a good chance if you could get in the 2050-2150 region</p>

3

<p>the gpa is good, and your ecs/awards seem interesting. Your OOS residency/standardized test scores will probably bring you down though. I would say slight reach for michigan. Try hard on those essays, apply early, and you have a great chance.</p>

<p>Also: what school are you applying to? From what I make out of your interests, it seems like LSA. </p>

<p>As for your other schools, i would say in at uofi-chicago, madison, and purdue. Match at drake. slight reach for wesleyan and unc. How come your not applying to urbana champagne?</p>

<p>Well, I would like to, but I chose UIC for its Pharmacy program. Even though UIC isn't the best of schools, it's either top 5 or top ten for pharmacy. Kinda stinks though cause I'll only be 20 minutes from home. </p>

<p><em>sigh</em> I hate oos.</p>

5

<p>apply early!!!!!!!! like very thing in their office by the end of September.
and you have good chance of getting in.</p>

6

<p>apply early, and your in summer term at least........</p>

7

<p>If you manage to raise your ACT to 28, you should apply to UIC GPPA pharmacy program.</p>

8

<p>lisalisa: check out the accepted student threads from last year EA at your schools....I don't think your standardized tests will hurt you as much as you think; GPA is much more important for the schools on your list......(except for Wesleyen and UNC).....</p>

<p>apply early to UMich....you should be fine....</p>

9

<p>Prepare well for the SAT, raise each section by roughly 100 points and you should be in very good shape.</p>

<p>hey what is OOS?</p>

<p>and by the way i was wondering if i had a shot
3.95 unweighted/4.11 weighted
27 on act (30 on math and english)
good ecs, essays, recommendations</p>

<p>will apply early action
live in michigan if that helps and i have an older brother that goes there
and i am 5 out of 225 students and this past year 13 are going to uofm</p>

11

<p>OOS = Out of State</p>

<p>Also, there is no early action for UMich, they accept apps on a rolling basis. With that said, there is probably some utility in getting your app in relatively early as there are more spots available and a much smaller pool of applicants. </p>

<p>I’d chance you but I am but a mere rising senior myself, so it’s not like I have some fantastic insights that you can’t obtain through a few solid minutes of research.</p>

<p>k thanks and i am pretty sure they do have an early action. you just have to send it in by nov 1 and they tell you by christmas</p>

<p>rising senior…good luck
you applying to mich?</p>
