<p>Carefull people. The OP clear stated he has a lotof Bs. If his unweighed GPA is below 3.5, Michigan will not be a safety, especially if he applies late. </p>

<p>Dravndn, I like your chances, but apply ASAP. Try to have your application completed by mid October.</p>

<p>"why are you applying to michigan, you should go to ivy league."</p>

<p>ExarKun, Michigan is one of the top 20 universities in the country in its own right. Why shouldn't he apply? The Michigan campus is more pleasant, more lively, more fun and safer than most Ivy League campuses. Michigan's school spirit and athletic traditions are hard to beat. And most importantly, in the OP's chosen major (Engineering), Michigan is better than all Ivy League schools save two; my other Alma Matter, Cornell and Princeton.</p>
