So I’m applying early action from a high school in Michigan that usually gets around 20-30 kids out of 400-500 in a grade accepted to umich every year. I’d say I’m definitely in the top end of my class, but we don’t have rankings. Here are my stats:
34 ACT
1440 SAT (not submitting)
3.95 GPA (weighted but my school only does weighted GPAs)
9 AP classes by the time I graduate
Vice President of coding club (I teach coding classes in it)
4 years varsity track and field hockey, won a couple spirit awards/coach’s awards/MVP awards
2 years of kode with klossy (scholarship based girl’s coding camp)
Built by girls WAVE program
Painted a mural requested by the school
2 years le grand concours national French exam honorable mention
Several art awards
Pretty good essays I would like to think
Idk I’m scared because I feel like everyone accepted is just so much better than I am.
The in-state admissions rate to UMich is 41% for the Class of 2022 (no breakdown available for Class of 2023 yet) and you appear to be a competitive applicant, but without your uwGPA, it’s tough to tell. UMich only uses uwGPA. The average uwGPA was 3.9 for the Class of 2023. Your ACT score is solidly in the median range.
A bit of caution though, for the Class of 2022, roughly 40,000 of the total 65,000 applications were submitted EA. And about 8,000 of those EA apps were accepted. That means, roughly 32,000 EA apps were either deferred or rejected.
Best of luck!
A fairly consistent number of in-state applicants apply, with the bulk of additional applications from OOS. Just apply EA and don’t worry about the number of total applications.
You can compute your UW GPA from letter grades manually. All A=4, All B=3 etc. Use only academic classes. Should take you around 5 min.
Do the unweighted GPA then see where you fall with last years acceptances. Your school counselor and Naviance will seem to help. Your school seems like a local feeder school so that is good but you need to show interest. If local to the school make sure you visit. That should of really happened by now. Go to anything at your school /region that Michigan is talking to and apply early
