some suggestions...?!

<p>I have a 32 ACT score and a 4.3w/3.78uw GPA. And I'm from IL...see my chances post if you really care about my stats. But that's not what this post is about...</p>

<p>Here is my current list.</p>

<p>Reaches:
-Northwestern (maybe ED)
-Wash U
-Duke</p>

<p>Matches:
-Michigan (Ann Arbor)
-USC (...my brother went there, if that helps at all)
-UIUC</p>

<p>Safeties:
None?!</p>

<p>I really need some help finding some good matches and safeties. So far, UIUC is my only "safety" and it's not really thatt safe, I think I would consider it more of a safe match. Any suggestions?!</p>

<p>Miami Ohio?</p>

<p>Marquette?</p>

<p>Where do you live?</p>

<p>Never mind...I see, IL.</p>

<p>Why wouldn't UIUC be a safety for you? You have good stats. My cousin went to UIUC (and she was from L.A.) with similar stats. Doesn't UIUC accept mostly in-state students like the UC's do?</p>

<p>Purdue could be another safety.</p>

<p>What do you want to go for? Tough to make suggestions without that info.</p>

<p>Probably major in Biology...not necessarily pre-med, though. Just biology. haha</p>

<p>In that case, since you're not going for business or engineering, UIUC would almost definitely be a safety...</p>

<p>Haha great, that's a relief then. I truly wouldn't mind going to UIUC if it came down to it!</p>

<p>Would somewhere like UW-Madison be considered a safety as well?</p>

<p>Since you're OOS, and they already get too many kids from IL, I'd say that there's a chance of it being more matchy. But your stats are good, so it's hard to say..</p>

<p>I'm not OOS...i'm from IL haha.</p>

<p>I meant in referrence to UW.</p>
