<p>Troy, I think you need to give a little bit more information for people to help you out. You should check out the threads of other Chance threads to figure out what’s useful, such as your SAT I and II scores, your AP scores, which schools you want to apply to, etc.</p>
<p>Sorry, I wasn’t done and I clicked out</p>

Hospital Volunteer Work: 500+ hours by the time I apply</p>
<p>Actual Work: I am working at my hospital right now, getting paid, I work in the ER and do some very important stuff. I probably will get good rec’s from the nurses and doctors. By June 22 I will have worked a full year, and then I will be laid off because of funding 
I plan on writing about all my hospital experiences in my applications, I want to go Pre-Med, so this will be the main focus of most of my essays.</p>
<p>Choices:
Northwestern University- In state, so I might as well apply
University of Chicago- ^
Univ. of California Los Angeles
University of Michigan Ann Arbor
Univ. of Southern California
Univ. of California San Diego
New York University
U. of Illinois Urbana - Champaign</p>
<p>I know all of these are reaches except for probably Urbana, but I would still like some insight, constructive criticism please!!! :)</p>
<p>My Aunt went to University of Michigan Ann Arbor Business School and got her MBA. Does this count as legacy?</p>
<p>I plan on applying to my schools around September to increase my chances. I know Michigan and Chicago have rolling admissions so I am applying to them early, and which school should I use my ED on to have the best chance? Which schools does it not matter if applying early?
And if I send my 1st Quarter grades senior year, and I have all A+'s, with my application, will this help my chances?</p>
<p>I think Northwestern and the University of Chicago are both private schools so it won’t really matter to them that you’re instate.</p>
<p>Edit…</p>
<p>As you already know, most of these colleges are reaches for you. I think you should use your ed option either for NYu, or uchicago early action. They have lower standards in the ed or the early action round than the rd round. I recommend studyin for your sats, since with that low of a gpa it will be very hard for you to get in. The ucs and umich are based more wholy on test scores and gpa. I recommend studying over the summer and get a 32+. Then only can you have a slight chance.</p>
<p>Sorry, but I don’t think you have more than a 1% chance at any of those schools.</p>
<p>EDIT: except u of illinois.</p>
<p>I’d be shocked if he got into any of those.</p>
<p>lol, that’s what I thought</p>
<p>yeah dude…you should look to some more realistic schools. Chicago and NW with a 3.2? Who are you kidding. I do better then that (not terribly) and would be wasting money to send my app. there.</p>
<p>I already have my safeties, these are just my reaches, except for Urbana, hopefully…</p>
<p>And do you think I will have a chance at NYU if I choose ED???</p>
<p>Chicago doesn’t have rolling admissions.
Almost all those schools are reaches. Maybe an ACT prep course could help a bit but your GPA will really hurt you.</p>
<p>What about Urbana???</p>
<p>I already have my safeties, these are just my reaches, except for Urbana, hopefully…</p>
<p>And do you think I will have a chance at NYU if I choose ED???</p>
<p>Dude. I wouldnt get into NYU with my 3.4+ED+my parents donating a lot of money…</p>
<p>Choices:
Northwestern University- 0% Chance
University of Chicago- 0% chance
Univ. of California Los Angeles 0% chance
University of Michigan Ann Arbor 5% chance
Univ. of Southern California 5% Chance
Univ. of California San Diego 15% Chance
New York University 10% Chance
U. of Illinois Urbana - Champaign 40% chance</p>
<p>Dude, these aren’t really going to happen. UIUC MAYBE.</p>
<p>okay, now can I get some answers about rolling admissions, EA, and ED with my choices</p>
<p>You dont need to know jack with these schools. Stop living in some naive fantasy world. You arent getting into ANY of them, except for a SLIGHT (with ED) chance at UIUC. Rework your list.</p>
<p>I’m pretty sure I can get into UIUC RD. I know a good amount of people who actually go there. Their average ACT is a 26 and GPA average is 3.0 UW. Plus since their a state school, in-state is a plus. I’m not going to thank you for your opinion, because it was very rude.</p>
<p>UIUC is a good match. The rest you should rework. There’s no reason to dump money down a drain when you could instead be applying to other schools to give yourself real options.</p>
