Other information: I have Generalized Anxiety Disorder and Panic Disorder, and receive special accommodations which I rarely use (not sure how to express that in applications). Does have an effect on my school work, but for the most part I’ve been able to work through it. Freshman year, the year I was diagnosed with Panic Disorder, was especially hard. Some/most essays will deal with this.

I attended pre-college at Carnegie Mellon University the summer before my junior year.

Colleges:
University of Michigan
Michigan State University (legacy)
Providence College (legacy)
University of Richmond
Albion College
Kalamazoo College
Villanova University

I realize a lot of people don't know much about many of these schools...I'm looking for chances mostly for UMich, MSU, and Villanova. Maybe Richmond, too.

Can you guess your rank or percentile?

Forget the SAT and submit your ACT which is an excellent score. You look good for all schools on your list if you apply EARLY to the rolling admissions schools...U-M, MSU, etc. S is a rising junior at Kalamazoo if you have any questions, where you'll likely qualify for a merit scholarship with your stats.

srgirl6

Just based on the published GPA-based honor roles, I'm probably top 10%

Oprah!

dont submit your SAT and i think you have a purty good chance erwhere.
except Michy might be kind of hard unless you get your EC's up

but goooooooooooodluck

I think you have a decent chance at Providence and Villanova. Just make sure you apply EA. That will give you a better chance by far.

I agree with the above posters that you should submit your ACT scores instead of SATs...Good luck

What if...I already submitted my SAT scores because I thought I was going to do better on them than I did?

Unfortunately, I've already sent them to MSU, UMich, Richmond, and PC.

Order ACT score reports to be sent to those schools as well. They generally use your highest scores when reviewing your app. Don't worry about weak EC's for Michigan. They're all about the numbers first despite so-called holistic review. Again, it's critical to apply as early as possible so start working on your apps now.

srgirl6

Okay, yeah, I've also had my ACT scores sent to those schools.

MSU is definitely a safety. Their avg. ACT score is around 24 (and your score is a lot better). U Michigan is a match but as others have said will likely be an accept if you apply early, and don't know about the rest
