<p>So I have a 3.449 GPA and hope to get a 28 on my ACT. THe GPA is low because i did really bad freshmen year (3.0) but I had all HONORS classes at that time. Otherwise, sophmore and semester 1 of junior year I got all A's and one B. I am not in IB. My extra carricular include:
- I've been in a musical
- Cultural Dance
- LifeTeen (Catholic Club)
- National Art Honors Society
- 4A's Club (volunteer, community service club)
So do you think I can get in? I do live in Michigan
-Is there anything else UM wants to see? I really dont play sports at all.
I am in accelerated math, accelerated french, AP English, and I hope to take AP Economics, AP English, and AP Psychology senior year.
- Does UM even look at your senior year?
. I have no college money saved up.</p>
<p>I have very similar statistics, just wanna say lol. Michigan doesn’t count freshman GPA if I remember correctly, but someone will have to confirm that I’m not 100% sure</p>
<p>Sent from my SCH-I535 using CC</p>
<p>well that would be great if they didnt!</p>
<p>They didn’t count freshman GPA like 3 years ago but now they just count the unweighted GPA that’s reported on your transcript. If there’s not an unweighted on your transcript they’ll calculate one with all your grades.</p>
<p>What does that exactly mean? If she had a 4.1 weighted freshman year it would be combined with the unweighted grades later on and averaged out?</p>

<p>lol i got in with a 1730 SAT and 3.4 UW GPA…anything can happen</p>
<p>Pretty sure Michigan counts your UW freshman GPA.</p>
<p>^^^No it means they use your uw gpa over four years.</p>
<p>Michigan looks at your UW GPA for the first three years (Freshman-junior). They look at your senior course rigor. They also would like to see your first semester senior grades, generally, so don’t slack off.</p>
<p>Get your GPA up. A 3.5 for mich is low. If you can get it up to a 3.6 that would help a lot. A 30 on the ACT will also help you a lot. Even then, admission is iffy.</p>
<p>^Honestly even a 3.6 and a 30 would be a big reach. You’re EC’s aren’t enough to overcome your grade and test issues. It’s just gonna be difficult even with your in-state status. Not saying there isn’t a chance but have a few backup plans.</p>
<p>maizeandblue, what would you say to a 3.5 and a 32 with a more complete, focused EC profile? The schedule rigor was also strongest offered.</p>
<p>Still a low reach. You would of had a better chance three years ago when we weren’t on the common app. Again it’s not like you don’t have a chance but the honest truth is that your GPA is low and your ACT is good but not great. Idk what a “more complete, focused EC profile” even means but ideally you would have some pretty good ones. Give it a shot, I’m just a student I’m not on the admissions committee.</p>
