You don't say where you're from, your chances will be influenced by the in-state vs. OOS stats. I suggest going to the college board site and plugging in your stats and checking out the how do I stack up? analysis.

Academic Tracker - Meet College Admission Requirements - High School Class Selection

That said, my guesses:

OSU - Match
Pitt - Reach
Minnesota - Match/Reach
MSU - Reachy
IU - Reachy
Iowa - Reachy/Match (see Admission to Iowa's Regent Universities: Regent Admission Index)
KU - Match
Arizona - Match

Again, depending on your state of residence you chances could go up. The only school I see as an outright long shot is Pitt. But, I also don't see an outright safety school either.

Good luck.

I dont know much about schools in the midwest, but I know Michigan State is very popular for grad school, so I'd call it a somewhat reach.

I also know you could get into Arizona U

Chance me back! Can I get into a GOOD UC? (the goal is Davis)

I think your GPA is kinda low. Thus, you have to try harder the 1st half of senior year and also try to lift up your ACT score. Also, write good essays and express your love for the school as much as you could.

Can you chance me ?

What are my chances ???
