What are my chances for these schools

Chance Me / Match Me

<p>These are the best schools that I may be able to get into. I’m planning on going into business and possibly majoring in finance.</p>

<p>Umich
UC Berkeley
U of Virginia
UNC
NYU
UT Austin
Mich State (safety)</p>

<p>Michigan resident/white/low-middle income</p>

<p>GPA: 3.8(slacked off freshman and sophomore years) As mostly since then
somewhere around top 15% in class</p>

<p>Classes:
Freshman: Biology, PE(not my choice), Spanish 1, English, World History, Zoology, Pre-Algebra
Sophomore: US History, HS Computers, Basic Design, Spanish 2, Physical Science,
Algebra 2, English
Junior:Anatomy,Pre-Calculus,Government,Economics,English,Physics,Natural Resources,
Senior:Astronomy,English,Communications,Novel,World History Seminar,Psychology</p>

<p>I’ve taken 2 college classes so far at a community college(Western Civ. and Macroeconomics) and will have taken(so 24-30 credits) by the time I graduate
I tested out of Algebra 1 my freshman year and may do the same with chemistry next year just to have the extra credit
My school is so small that I can’t choose my own classes and just end up with what fits into my schedule and I’ll have taken almost all the classes our school offers when I graduate(I think 6 or 7 i won’t have taken)</p>

<p>ACT:31 (may re-take for 32 or 33)
Math: 29
English: 33
Science: 32
Reading:30</p>

<p>Planning on taking a few SAT II subject tests Math 2, literature, and maybe world history</p>

<p>ECs: Track 9-10 (maybe 12 if I am able to next year), Youth in government 9-12, student council 10-12 (treasurer for 11, will try for 12),junior class president, NHS 12, church youth group 9-12, peer to peer 11, Social Studies Olympiad 12(they cancelled the Investing section this year so I didn’t go this year but may go next year if they have it </p>

<p>I’ll have around 70 community service hours at graduation</p>

<p>Hooks: I’m planning on going into investing for a career and have taught myself a ton about it. I convinced my mom to set up a Custodial Investing Account(in child’s and parent’s name until you turn 18, when full ownership is transferred to you) around year ago so I could manage my college savings in the stock market and have done pretty well so far . I don’t know if this helps but I thought it might since plan on going into investing.</p>

<p>I think you have no chance of getting into UC Berkeley, UVA, and UNC (chapel hill?). Class rank and test scores are way too low and nothing really stands out.</p>

<p>NYU and Ut austin are fairly competitive… you will want to get your test scores up to maximize your chances of getting in. Same with Umich. Also note that NYU is extremely expensive and notorious for giving little aid to most of its applicants.</p>

<p>Thanks, at this point I’m really hoping to raise my ACT so I at least have a chance of getting in</p>

<p>Not sure why you’d bother with NYU and UT if you’re low income. They are highly unlikely to give you the aid you’ll need.</p>
