<p>Match? I wouldn't call it a safety...</p>

3

<p>Match, yes. Safety, no.</p>

4

<p>I agree, a match.</p>

5

<p>They still have rolling admissions, no?</p>

<p>Assuming that they do, just apply early and see what happens. If you get in, you can 86 your safties.</p>

6

<p>safety...people, he's from Michigan...why wouldn't they accept him? Dude, don't worry about it, automatic acceptance.</p>

7

<p>I'd still say she's not far enough above the average in-state student to count Michigan as a safety, though.</p>

<p>Not even CLOSE to a safety. I'd say it's closer to a slight reach as opposed to safe match. I was in-state, legacy, had a 3.65 + 32 ACT and I was deferred before accepted. My friend with a 3.7 + 33 ACT was deferred/waitlisted/rejected and he's in-state as well. Not to mention my other friend was deferred/accepted with a 3.6 + 31 ACT.</p>

<p>i like how you all call her a "he" when ya, she's a female... lol</p>

11

<p>I had a 3.7 and a 29 ACT in state and got rejected. I don't think it's a safety for you.</p>

12

<p>Yeah, I'd say match. </p>

<p>PS are you applying to the LSA, or engineering? If its engineering, you are definitely not a safety.</p>

13

<p>Lori, your GPA and ACT are roght around the mean at Michigan, and Michigan no longer accepts 60% of its applicants. I'd say Michigan is a match.</p>

We’ve received feedback that students in previous years have been frustrated with our response time.

<p>That's great, wow this university is unbelieveable. God I hope they go private in the future.</p>

15

<p>Alexandre.....why can't you just agree with me :(</p>

16

<p>michigan STATE would be a safety for you.</p>

17

<p>Not a safety, better fill out the MSU application as well.</p>

<p>But I think your chances of getting in are pretty good. You have to apply to find out. Good luck.</p>

18

<p>If you were so inclined to go to MSU you would be in the honors college</p>

<p>Still not a safety. There are thousands of other kids who will apply with the same or better credentials then you. You do have a pretty good shot though, so don't get discouraged.</p>
