<p>I think if you just submit your ACT you should be fine</p>
<p>Would you mind explaining why UM would be a low reach for me please?</p>
<p>maybe it's more of a high match. I think you have a good chance, it's just that it's hard to say you're in at any top-tier public school out of state.</p>
<p>Ah ok, what about University of Illinois?</p>
<p>bump bump bump</p>
<p>How do state universities determine how out-of-state applicants are admitted?</p>
<p>Most of the kids at my school would kill for a 1950 so don't worry about it. It's far above average and a 31 is really good.</p>
<p>Duke- low reach
UC Berkeley- reach
UC Irvine- high match
UCSD- not really familiar so i can't say
Northwestern- low reach
UNC - Chapel Hill- high match
University of Michigan- high match
University of Wisconsin - Madison- not familiar
Grinnell College- match</p>
<p>Oh wow, I went to elementary in Stillwater. Did you know any seniors that graduated last year from SHS?</p>

Grinnell College - Match</p>
<p>because ur out of state, most of ur state schools are reachs since they have to have a certain percentage of in state students.</p>
<p>31 ACT is a very solid score, this will definitely help with admissions (so your test scores aren't low at all!), your GPA is amazing! good job. i would say...</p>
<p>Duke- high match
UC Berkeley- low reach (it's a tough school for everyone)
UC Irvine- high match
UCSD- match
Northwestern (if I told them I was moving to Illinois, would they give me more consideration?)- Match
UNC - Chapel Hill- high match
University of Michigan- match
University of Wisconsin - Madison- safety
Grinnell College- safety</p>
<p>also some of these other chancers are basing their chances off of just your SAT score, which they shouldn't</p>
<p>an UW GPA of that high combined with a 31 ACT is very very good and gives you a solid chance at most of your schools</p>
<p>one last bump...I'd really hate to see this thread die...</p>
<p>Is this your whole list? I think you need a few safer schools. I think Duke, Berkeley, Northwestern, UNC (out of state), and Grinnell are bigger reaches than some are telling you, based on your scores.</p>
<p>Well, no. I also have Penn State, Purdue, Boston U, and UT-Austin. But I listed those because I wasn't sure about those particular schools. I'm fairly sure I can get into Penn State and Boston U. Purdue is my safety.</p>
<p>I'll chance the only school's I'm familiar with on an admissions basis lol
On the assumption all are RD:</p>
<p>Duke- Reach (they rejected quite a few valedictorians last year and scores are a little low)
Northwestern- Semi-reach, GPA will help, but 31 ACT is bottom-ish range for RD and in-state would probably hurt more than help.
UT Austin- It'll be a little difficult, because you're from Oklahoma and they base admission on top ten %, most spaces go to in-state kids (I'm from Dallas)
Purdue- Definite safety, you're in.</p>
