<p>yyeeaahh, go indian boy! reach</p>

4

<p>ya ur SATs are also below average for OOS. Reach. Good luck tho.</p>

<p>“Reach, your uw gpa is going to be lower and you are from NJ=reach.”</p>

<p>Wouldn’t the UW Gpa be higher if I got that GPA in all honors classes?</p>

6

<p>UW= un-weighted. which means that the weight carried by your honors classes is not considered.</p>

7

<p>Why does being from NJ make his chances worse?</p>

<p>I’d say reach as well but good luck man!</p>

8

<p>NJ, not Michigan. this means he’s out of state and is a less favorable candidate.</p>
