<p>U Chicago: High reach (not even stellar essays can save you)
Brown: High reach
Carleton: High reach
UWI: Reach
Kenyon: High reach
Iowa State: Safety
UIA: Safety
UMinn: Reach (but lower than Wisconsin)</p>

<p>kenyon, chicago, brown and carleton are not going to happen, sorry to break that to you. do look into other schools though. there are many fine alternatives.</p>

<p>You might look at small midwestern LACs that are a little less selective. To bring up your GPA so much in one year, you must be doing quite well in school now. You might consider St. Olaf, Lawrence, Beloit, Kalamazoo, Wooster.</p>

<p>I agree, except I think UChicago, Brown, Kenyon, and Carleton are out of reach.</p>

<p>Good luck! :)</p>
