<p>Hey! I'm a new member to this website and was wondering if you all could rate my chances of getting into UMich. I understand that this is a BIG reach for me, but it's my top choice. Don't be afraid of being too harsh, I know my chances are very slim!! Lol</p>

<p>hey yea im gonna be pretty honest
its gonna be a stretch to get in, but its definitely not impossible
did you apply already?
if you didnt, i would be SURE to</p>

<p>a) WRITE THE BEST ESSAYS POSSIBLE- get help! Ask english teachers to lend you an extra hand, and really take a lot of time to do the best you possibly could. They want to hear the real you, so make it really believable and make them stand out from all the others
b) RECOMMENDATIONS-yea this ones pretty tough to control, but really pick good teachers that know the REAL you, and be sure to explain how important these recommendations are to you, and really thank them for their time
c) RETAKE TESTS- yeahh i understand if you want to be done with them already, but honestly your scores are pretty low, and its the thing thats really hindering your chances. explain that your not the best test takers, and notify them if your going to retake them in december (i think thats the next test) and STUDY!</p>

<p>Ya I def know it's a reach, but I already applied :(</p>

<p>I didn't submit my SATs cause they suck.I also took the ACT three times and have gone from a 24 to a 27. I honestly think my essay's are brilliant. I had many english teachers and english professors look over it and have given me tons of advice on it so I def think that is the best it can be and I am really hoping my recommendations are amazing! </p>

<p>Ahh i'm nervous! Dec 24th cannont come any sooner (I know I'll be one of the last to hear since I'm in such a reach position)</p>
