how did you come up with this list?

 

[Mr.Smile12]

Clarify if you have submitted your AADSAS application for this cycle. If you have, do you know what your BCP GPA is?

 

[macsak]

I have not submitted my application yet, I plan on asap. I picked the schools based on geography and admission stats.

do any of the schools have a relationship with north dakota?

 

[macsak]

I have not submitted my application yet, I plan on asap. I picked the schools based on geography and admission stats.

the issue is you have 9 schools, eight of which are publics and your geography is all over the map (2 mountain, 2 E/NE, 5 central)
UMich is well into the top 10 most difficult schools to get into, and i would bet that UConn is in or near top 15

your oGPA is above the matriculant average (3.55), but your more important sGPA is right at the average (3.55)
but your DAT is below the matriculant average (20.5)
and these averages are nationwide, you need to check your schools for their averages and 5-95 percentiles

nine schools would only be ok for your stats if you had zero reach schools and more than a few safeties
you need to have an assortment of schools, a couple or few reaches, mostly in-range and some safety schools
