<p>Sorry for putting you through all that but I would really appreciate some help. Thanks in advance!</p>

<p>Looks good for all your schools. Here's how I see your breakdown.</p>

<p>Realistic reach:
NYU
UNC
Boston College</p>

<p>Match:
Michigan (if you apply early in the year)
Wisconsin
GWU
Syracuse (if applying to Newhouse)</p>

<p>Safety:
Penn State
Syracuse (if applying to arts & sciences)</p>

<p>If I apply early in the year for michigan what do you think my chances are percentage wise?</p>

<p>this is my opinion:</p>

<p>. NYU (ED)-80% chance
2. Penn State at University Park-100% chance
3. University of Wisconsin-Madison-90% chance
4. Boston College (EA)-80% chance
5. University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill-10% chance
6. University of Michigan-Ann Arbor -80% chance if you apply very early
7. George Washington University-90% chance
8. Syracuse University-90% chance</p>

<p>thanks for your comments. I really appreciate it</p>

<p>anyone else? bumpppp</p>

<p>bumpppppppppp</p>

<p>great chance everywhere, chapel hill be tough since you are out of state, but umich you have a great shot as long as you apply by i'd say october or early november. and yea, penn state is mor elike a super safety...</p>

<p>bump bump bump</p>

<p>If you apply by the end of this week or very soon atleast, you have a great chance at UMich in my opinion</p>

<p>you will have a good chance. but for now relax and enjoy your junior year. no need to worry and stress yourself out about colleges that youll be applying to 10 months. just focus on mainting good grades and such.</p>

<p>your GPA might hurt you their av is 3.7. when you say you have your recalculated GPA how did you do it? b/c Mich throws 9th grade out and makes A-, A, A+ equal to a 4.0, B-, B, B+ = 3.0 ect. so that could help, or kill you (it would help me, I'd go in w/ a 4.0 but i decided I'm not applying) But who knows, I'd apply ASAP though. the U of Minnesota (TC), Mich (AA), Wics (Madison) are all huge this year. they are getting record applicants, and since they're all rolling they are getting a lot more competitive as the year goes on. good luck!</p>

<p>jk I misunderstood your post, your GPA is probably fine</p>
