<p>At least hit 29 or 2000 on SAT and you are in. You are in-state---> huge star.</p>

<p>what they are looking for is a complete class. They only want to take so much of one type of person.
Apply to michigan. I know someone who got in that had the same ACT score.<br>
You should also apply because michigan is the best college in the world. GO BLUE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!</p>

<p>Josife, Michigan does not usually accept students with ACT scores below 26. If they do, it is because of a particular characteristic (URM, Division I level super athlete, child of a mega-important legacy, world-class artist or performer, exceptional student with horrible test taking skills etc...). </p>

<p>Wolf, your GPA and class rank are good, so you obviously have a chance. But as long as your ACT remains below 26, your chances will not be that good. Now, if you told me you were a Hispanic American, I would tell you that your chances are decent.</p>
