<p>Please be honest thanks, i dont need financial aid i will pay all, and im also a urm so that might help also, thanks</p>
<p>Well I need to know what state you are from. </p>
<p>Also you have to re-calculate your GPA if you haven’t already done so. U-M looks at your freshman and sophomore years, it also doesn’t look at pluses and minuses. From the stats that you have given, you have a slim to none chance in getting accepted. I don’t think any elite school admits students with SAT’s below the 500 mark. Not really sure. Your extra curricular activities are decent, but it seems weird that your school only allows you to take AP’s your senior year. To Michigan it might look like you are just taking AP’s to make yourself look like a competitive applicant(A lot of applicants do this). Thats just my opinion. Just to give you some statistics:</p>
<p>U-M Average GPA is 3.7-3.9*
U-M Average SAT is 1920-2180
LSA: 41.67% Admit Rate
Engineering: 54% Admit Rate</p>
<ul>
<li>Depends on the college that you are applying to. Some schools are harder to get into than others. For example the business school is harder to get into than LSA.</li>
</ul>
<p>I would give you a 1-5% chance of getting accepted with your current stats. Being a URM does help though, but I think it depends on the situation. Has being a URM affected your education in some way? Has it had a negative impact on your intellectual, mental and social ability? I think you should answer these questions. Michigan also has to see this in some way through your recommendations and essays. </p>
<p>I would also say that because your stats are low your extracurriculars don’t make up for it. In my case I had a low GPA, but great extracurriculars according to counselors and advisors. I also had superb recommendations. At least thats what my academic advisor told me. You have to stand out in other ways because your GPA and SAT scores just don’t make the cut really. Work on your SAT’s, Get good grades senior year so you can send them your mid year report. Just work hard. You state that you don’t need financial aid. Sorry, but from what I’m told the only applicants that come close to being accepted because they are “wealthy” or well off with low stats are athletes. If you are wealthy then being a URM doesn’t really help you in a sense. </p>
<p>No idea sorry, I haven’t really chanced a URM before. But do you have a lower chance of getting in if you have no/little money to pay the tuition? That’s really lame. Should I not put on my app, the mediocre salary my parents make so U of M won’t know I plan on getting financial aid (saying your salary is optional on the application)?</p>
<p>Yosup: According to your credentials you are an outstanding student and in my opinion you deserve a scholarship or grant. Because of the economic downturn schools like NYU had to make up for the shortage of money. They did this by admitting wealthy students and students that didn’t really apply for financial aid. Not saying in most cases, but in a few. There is an article posted about this, but I forgot where I read it. If your family has a low income then apply for financial aid. There is no point in waiting. If you are a qualified applicant it won’t affect your chances of gaining admission into the University. Even if you are not so qualified, finances have little to no effect on your admission. </p>
<p>Don’t worry about finances unless you really can’t pay for an expensive university. Most people don’t apply to expensive universities that they can’t pay for unless they are very competitive applicants that have a good probability of earning a scholarship or grant.</p>
<p>That makes it worse. An international student normally has outstanding grades, SAT scores, and extracurricular activities. The Acceptance rate for international students is also very low. I think your chances may have decreased, but you never know until you have applied.</p>
