<p>Your SAT scores are probably fine for Michigan, but they place a lot of weight on HS GPA. Your 3.5 is low for them For the freshman class that entered in 2012, the average GPA was 3.80, and 72% of the entering class had GPA of 3.75 or higher. Only 22% had GPA in the 3.50 to 3.74 range, and you’d be at the bottom of that range. And you’d be an OOS applicant; their admit rate for OOS is considerably lower than for in-state applicants. I’d say Michigan is a real longshot with that GPA.</p>
<p>Michigan State is a good suggestion. Their average GPA for 2012 freshmen was 3.61, but any SAT section score of 700+ would put you well into their top quartile. Great basketball school, great fans, great coach, great venue in the Breslin Center.</p>
