What are my chances?

I live in Minnesota, my UW GPA is 3.7, and I got 30 on the ACT. Based on just this, what are my chances? Thanks in advance!

Based just on those stats, I don't think you would have trouble getting into any of the programs. PT or Nursing might be a bit tougher. What do you plan to study?

Right now I'm thinking biomedical engineering or biomedical studies of some type. Thanks for the quick response!

bstacer - just looking at numbers you should not have a problem getting in. Bio engineering is very tough at MU, be ready to work hard. You will have excellent coop/internship opportunities. Make sure you have good extracurriculars specially community service and you should get good merit aid.

Thanks for the advice. Is there any type of community service you recommend? I'm planning on volunteering at an animal shelter and a food shelf a lot this summer. Anything else I should add?

I believe that would be fine. Maybe have something with leadership like president of some club or capitan of a team, but you should be fine as you are.
