You may get more responses in the chance me board, that being said, you need to provide some test scores to give you better guidance.

Have you talked to your parents about finances yet? Depending upon your parents income/assets, some of these may be unaffordable. For example, if your parents make $125k per year, Michigan would be around $260,000 for 4 years.

Yes, you should first check the NPC of these schools first. As for UMich, your GPA is far below their admission average although you have a somewhat upward trend.

5

Without knowing your test scores it is difficult to predict your chances. I will tell you that Notre Dame, unless you are being recruited for softball will be a reach. Same for Michigan and Virginia. I think that the upward trend with your grades will help and so will your ec’s. Have you visited all of these schools? Try and do it when school is in session so that you get a true picture of what campus is like while there are students around. It makes a difference. Best of luck to you!
