Your GPA isn’t really all that bad. I think you may have taken on a reasonable amount for yourself, but you were a little unlucky here and there. I think you should focus on UMich. Realistically, Duke, Georgetown, and Cornell aren’t likely. Raise your scores a bit, work your butt off senior year, and write good essays/make smart decisions when getting recs. UMich would be a good choice if you’re going for economics (top 15 program). If Michigan is the only school you get into (from your high matches/reaches), don’t feel bad because it’s a great school. It’s academically equivalent to Duke, Cornell, and Georgetown.

I had similar stats to you, but lower test scores (only a 30) and slightly higher GPA and was considered OOS. My app was completed in December and I got in outright. APPLY EARLY and you may have a chance. Again, make sure you really bust your behind senior year because that could be the deciding factor if you’re deffered.
