What are my chances at the Big 10 schools?

<p>Academics
UW GPA: 3.86
W GPA: 4.03
Class Rank: 13/335
PSAT: 183
Expected ACT: 30-32 (taking in April, my practice ACT reflected this)
Several honors and AP classes, will have eight AP and five honors by end of senior year.</p>

<p>Extracurriculars
Track and Field
Tennis
National Honor Society (I'm running for an officer position so hopefully I'll get it)
German National Honor Society (Treasurer)
Class Board
Color Guard (Captain)
Jazz Band
Pit Orchestra
Baton twirling (nine years, lots of hours throughout year; I also assist my teacher in a rec. department class)</p>

<p>Other
I've done lots of volunteer work for the different ECs I participate in
Several awards for German speaking and writing
Milwaukee Brewers academic achievement award
Accepted to women in engineering program at UW Madison this summer (I plan to attend)</p>

<p>I am currently a Junior in high school and looking at where I want to visit.
I plan on going into health sciences or engineering.</p>

<p>Here are the Big 10 schools:
University of Illinois
Indiana University
University of Iowa
University of Michigan
Michigan State University
University of Minnesota
University of Nebraska
Northwestern University
Ohio State University
Pennsylvania State University (legacy)
Purdue University
University of Wisconsin (instate)</p>

<p>bump</p>

<p>Alrighty, so we have very similar stats. Here are your chances:</p>

<p>University of Illinois - Accept
Indiana University - Accept
University of Iowa - Accept
University of Michigan - Deny? (maybe, I’m not sure.)
Michigan State University - Accept
University of Minnesota - Accept
University of Nebraska - Accept
Northwestern University - Deny
Ohio State University - Accept
Pennsylvania State University (legacy) - Deny (but legacy might help)
Purdue University - Accept
University of Wisconsin (instate) - Accept</p>

<p>Hope this helps! Please look at my chances thread</p>

<p>You’ll get into most, probably.</p>

<p>@MirandaMcGuire: Can I ask why you think I would be denied from Penn State? Based on admission statistics alone, you have me as accepted to more selective universities than PSU.</p>

<p>@twirlergirl42 Well, I may be wrong but I was under the impression that Penn State is pretty hard to get into. I think I thought UPenn accidently when I was giving you your chances! My bad!</p>

<p>No problem! Thank you for clarifying!</p>

<p>Northwestern would be reach. UMich would be low reach for engineering, very high match for LSA. UIUC engineering would be low reach too. The rest should be match to high match.</p>

<p>Would I have a better chance at UIUC in a different program? I’m still not sure what I want to do.</p>

<p>For UIUC, you apply directly to a major. UIUC Engineering has a mid 50 ACT of 31-34. For LAS, it would be a few points lower except for a few competitive programs like ChemE and Computer Sciences.</p>
