<p>Your extra curriculars are weak and don’t spark any real interest among the elite school admission offices. Your ACT score is impressive and should get you into UM Ross Preadmit. With respect to the others schools, they might see your lack of effort during your sophomore year to be foreboding; or they might not. The fact that you don’t have a real impressive extracurricular activity(s) will make the schools you listed a real toss-up.</p>

<p>All a reach… you may need to look into other colleges just in case</p>
