5

<p>Haha what??</p>

6

<p>How many if these do you need to post? Do you really need to hear more and more people say you’re in?</p>

<p>We’ve been over this. You are an IS female applying to engineering, you’re in.</p>

7

<p>Umm, just being an “IS female” doesn’t guarantee admittance.</p>

<p>I just got my ACT scores back and they were raised by 4 points. SORRY.</p>

8

<p>With average - above average GPA, ACT (your old one), ECs, and Recs it does.</p>

<p>With your ACT now you’ll probably be getting some Women in Engineering scholarship or something.</p>

<p>Well I got bad math/science grades (Bs and Cs) freshman year that I was scared about, so I would have to disagree that my old ACT (33 math, 28 science) qualified me for instant acceptance. I don’t think those scores (mediocre for Michigan) exactly redeemed myself. Especially for coe, which places special emphasis on math/science grades.</p>

<p>lock.__________</p>

11

<p>Yessssssss :slight_smile: thank you</p>

12

<p>You worry too much… UM is going to be intense… You are definately in, but lighten up or UM is going to crush you.</p>

13

<p>Wait what? Why would it crush me? My half sister went there and she wasn’t crushed!!!</p>

14

<p>Yea, i wouldnt be worried at all. I got in with a 3.7 and a 27</p>

15

<p>^ recently?</p>

16

<p>I got in in november of 2009, so fairly recently.</p>

17

<p>In state???</p>

18

<p>You are definately qualified and probably a bit above the average UM freshman. College is all about time management. There is more than enough time to go to class, study, and still have a great college experience. These next four years will be the best of your life. Work hard, but have fun too!!! GO BLUE!!!</p>

19

<p>Haha I don’t know how my resume comes across here but I promise I have fun! I’m not freaking out about this or anything, but I honestly can’t imagine the alternative if I got rejected…I don’t want to go to state!</p>

20

<p>Yeah, in state</p>
