GPA: 8th: 95 9th: 97.5 10th: 98.5 11th:100.5 Overall GPA:98.5
ACT: 35(35 Math, 36 Science, 35 English, 33 Reading)
SAT IIs: Physics high 700s, Math II probably 800

Extracurricular:
Founder and President of Programming Club
Board Member Science Olympiads
National, Science, Spanish, Business Honor Societies

by the way I’m OOS

Getting financial aid depends on your family situation. UMich OOS chances are sort of a crapshoot for STEM/engineering but I think you have a good shot.

oh yeah I would be going into computer science probably. By financial aid I mean some sort of merit. I probably wouldn’t get much financial aid, as my parents make like 180k. Thanks for the response @TheDidactic

I don’t know how UMich is with merit but you might get some.

For Computer Science major, you may apply to either CoE or LSA. It would be easier to get accepted into LSA though. For merit aid, you are in the ball park. If you never get a B or lower, your UMich uwGPA is 4.0. Nevertheless, 21% of enrolled freshmen last year has 4.0 GPA too. So you may have a chance but it is still competitive. Your chance for merit aid would be higher at LSA too as CoE is packed with high score applicants.
