<p>I'd like to keep a reference of stats of accepted students for future students.
Make sure you state which college you applied to, when you applied, when you got a decision, in or out of state, test scores, gpa, other important info.
I'll go first</p>

<p>Very nice stats</p>
<p>Hey guys, </p>
<p>Let’s make a format that follows with the official decisions of other schools. </p>
<p>For example, here’s the code for an overachieving John Doe: </p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Some basic tips:</p>
<p>To make a list, start it by saying list with brackets on both sides. To make an item, just type in a bracket with an asterisk to both sides: [ * ] and follow that with whatever you want to say.</p>
<p>To change the color of a font, start the text with [ color=green ] without the spaces in between and close it with [ /color ] when you’re done changing the color. If waitlisted, replace “green” with “yellow.” And if rejected, replace “green” with “red.” (My condolences) </p>
<p>To change the size of a text, start the text with [ size = +1, +2, etc. ] without the spaces in between and close it with [ /size ] when you’re done changing the size (without the spaces in between]. </p>
<p>To bold your text, type whatever you want, then highlight the text with your cursor, and press Ctrl + B. </p>
<p>
</a></p>
<p>I know it’s confusing, but let’s help out future freshmen!</p>
<p>Good luck to everyone applying to Michigan! Hope you get in … and you don’t need to be John Doe!</p>

<p>Other Factors:
General Comments: I’m really happy that I got into UMich! It’s a really good school that doesn’t cost much for IOS. Now I’m gonna have to wait a while to hear about Ross Preadmit.</p>
<p>The only thing I don’t like is my GPA - I really hate how UMich drops 9th grade and all non-academics then recalculates your GPA. It’s unfair. They don’t even account for more rigorous courseloads with the recalculated GPA, so if you take many APs or Honors it isn’t reflected in the UM GPA, even though someone with a 3.7 UM GPA with many APs/Honors would be more prepared than one with a 4.0 GPA taking regular classes.</p>
<p>GO BLUE!</p>
<p>Uhh. I’d rather keep it the way I intended. The reason being that this is supposed to be a quick reference which sums up the most important things. So please, use the format I gave in my post, or start your own thread.</p>
<p>OK I will.</p>

Out of State
SAT: 2220
ACT: N/A

My essays were full of little mistakes that a smart person would’ve caught
And my ECs are certainly less than stellar (no work/volunteer!)</p>
<p>Since we have an official chances thread, I decided to open the Official Decisions thread here: </p>
