<p>I agree with Decorative22. Your ACT is fine for UMich, somewhere hovering between the 25th and 50th percentile for UChicago (I have the same score as you 
), and is decent for NYU. Obviously the whole GPA thing is an upward battle for you, so I suggest working on your essays and possibly having your counselor explain your C.
Message me if you have any questions (UMich LSA Class of 2018 admit).</p>
