<p>Would a student with a 3.1-3.1 gpa and a 26-27 easily be accepted into U of M? Is it getting competetive, or would i be safe with these stats? Does coming from instate help much?</p>
<p>assuming that GPA is unweighted I would still say no. I got a 26 and a 3.4 unweighted at a VERY competitive high school. I'm not just saying that. I got deferred initially I will let you know if I got in when I hear back for my final decision. I'm supposed to hear back within the next week. With your stats I would apply to Indiana, another great school and you would have a better chance getting in.</p>
<p>Indiana really isnt an option for me. Being from minnesota im kind of limiting myself to schools in MN or schools that have reciprocity with MN. (SD,WI) I cant afford out of state tuiton. Im sure I would have a better chance at U of M-Duluth but of course ill be applying to them both and many more</p>
<p>You have a chance. Apply the week the applications become available this fall.</p>
<p>I got deferred initially from Carlson to then get waitlisted immediately after at CLA and I just found out that I got into CLA today.

<p>if you will have trouble affording tuition at public schools, you are probably in a good position to get really nice financial aid packages at private schools. they may appear more expensive initially, but they generally have way better financial aid.</p>
<p>boomer--you should look at the Morris campus of the U of M. it's a great school with lots of personal attention and research opportunities, plus the cost is really affordable. people have a perception that it's in the "middle of nowhere," but you need to go out and visit. i fell in love with the place once i got out there.</p>
<p>The cost isn't really that big of a factor for me. I think Morris is too small for me.</p>
<p>it really depends on which college you're applying to. I say you have a pretty good shot if you apply right away and have some good ec's. the out of state tuition decrease is gonna hurt ur chances a little bit, but i still think you have a good chance.</p>
