Sean, I think you are in at MSU, Loyola and Kalamazoo. Not really sure but maybe for Michigan. Good luck!

Brown, Cornell and Chicago are reaches. But you could retake the SAT/ACT and see if you increase your chances. Is there a chance you could be recruited to swim for one of those schools?

I think that there might be a chance that i might minor in music. i like i said I have attended places such as Interlochen, and am very involved in music.

My school is also one of the most competitive schools and UofM is aware of it.

I even heard rumors that Michigan might add points onto your hs gpa(.2 even).

and they take off freshman grades, so that would bring me to a 3.65 plus additional points for the rigor of my high school.

Increase your list by adding another safety (assuming you have one) and another good match so you at least have a choice or two in the end. There were many surprises for the grad. class of 2008...lots of waitlisted students at their preferred schools-regardless of the competitive edge for high school name.
