Try to name the schools that you like or are in your list. Also some people won't like that you shadowed a relative (totally normal for me).

According to my experience your GPA is in the lower range but accepted in some programs. Your DAT is average of acceptance (great RC by the way congrats, schools like that). Give a shot, but be an smart applicant.

Good luck

I plan on applying to both Michigan schools, however, to be safe, I'll be applying to most places I feel like I have a chance getting in. Honestly, just looking for some hope to get in.

UMich is reaching, but I think you'd have a somewhat of a chance at Midwestern.

Apply with the expectation that you won't get any interviews or acceptances pre-dec.

Have a backup plan ready!

Ya I think a list of schools is essential for us to tell you what your chances are. I think if you do your research and apply broadly to private schools then you could get an interview. I had similar stats (3.19 sgpa and 21 AA/TS with 24RC) and I applied to 12 private schools and 3 public schools and had several interviews. I think depending on your school list and PS/LORs you have a decent shot!

Would you mind sharing your school list and where you got your interviews?

I have similar stats as you!
