<p>Top 10% of my high school here… 2230 SAT 34 ACT and decent extracurriculars. Extremely rigorous course load. Waitlisted and then denied from UVa. Fellow NJ kid. Going to Rutgers in the fall. Rejected from UPenn, Dartmouth, Cornell, and Vanderbilt. I really regret not applying to the schools you mentioned- Notre Dame, UNC, Michigan. I realize this is two years late and you might not even frequent the website any longer. Just wanted to get it off my chest.</p>
