<p>I don't think anyone here can give an accurate prediction, but based on the other posts I've seen with people with similar stats as yourself, I'd say you have a good chance. Those seem like match schools (maybe leaning towards reach, but closer to match than reach). I think you're in good shape! Your stats are like mine, but I haven't taken sats yet.</p>

<p>But remeber that while your profile and stats suggest you are "candidate material" for top schools so are a dozen other kids applying for each spot and sometimes its the luck of the draw in terms of the school looking for a well rounded CLASS. Still, it looks like you should get into most of these schools.</p>

<p>hey, thanks for the responses. It's good to hear i even have a chance at nyu and unc. </p>

<p>anyone else?</p>

5

<p>bump!</p>

<p>anyone else care to evaluate my chances?</p>

6

<p>My advice, change your screen name if you never wanted to go there. </p>

<p>Looks good for the rest of the schools if u got into U of M.</p>

7

<p>will do fishS

anyone else care to give me my chances?</p>

8

<p>bumpity bump!</p>

9

<p>WUSTL, UNC, and NYU are reaches but since you got into U Mich, you probably have a good shot at all of them. The rest of the schools shouldn't be a problem.</p>

10

<p>last bump!</p>

<p>Umich is actually quite a bit easier to get in to OOS than Carolina. Their incoming class is almost 10k bigger than Carolina's, and they accept almost twice as many OOS applicants (33% to Carolina's 17%).</p>

12

<p>ohnoes, how can mich's incoming class be 10k more when mich's overall undergrad enrollment is 10k more than unc's total undergrad enrollment. (BTW, unc's oos accept. rate is actually 18% and mich's is 32% :-)</p>

<p>Hah, that's what I meant, sorry.</p>
