Turns out lower stats than I thought

S - 3.4, 3.5
J - 4.0, 4.0</p>

<p>a ton of other EC's that I plan to slash because they are
not that significant</p>

<p>Also, I have my own tshirt brand and I make a couple hundred a month, would that be worth putting on my app?</p>

umich is my only "match", maybe not even. </p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>bump........</p>

<p>help please....</p>

<p>Hey, your testing scores are great! GPA is a little low for schools like Columbia, but there is a definite upward trend and colleges will like that. I still think you can pull it off in those schools if you have a great essay and teacher rec. Perhaps the T-shirt thing can be part of your essay? It sounds pretty interesting to me if you can write it in such a way. You CAN do it!</p>

<p>thanks</p>

<p>chances, plus any safeties?</p>

<p>University of Michigan (instate)- Match
UPenn (ed?)- Reach
Dartmouth (ed?)-Reach
