<p>keep up the gpa or try to get a 4.0 from now on, study ur butt off and get a 2100+ SAT, apply early, you’d get a good chance.</p>

3

<p>being from NJ hurts a lot and GPA is very low.
You’re gonna need a superb ACT/SAT (33+/2200+) to have a chance.</p>

4

<p>why does being from NJ hurt? sorry i’m new to the proces.</p>

5

<p>Preference is usually given to instate applicants, thus being from NJ hurts your chances a little.</p>

6

<p>I see, i get that. I thought he meant that there are a lot of applicants of NJ or something.</p>

7

<p>Errmm i think he meant that there are many exceptional students from NJ, so umich will raise its standards when it comes to NJ applicants :P</p>

8

<p>The caliber and number of NJ students applying makes admission from there difficult.</p>

9

<p>I’m gonna call it a reach. If you can get a 32+ ACT or a 2150ish SAT, that’ll help your chances a lot. Write good essays, and try your hardest to make that upward trend even more drastic. UMich loves that stuff.</p>

<p>I got in with a 3.41 GPA/33 ACT, huge upward trend. I am in-state, but at the time of my admission, they considered me OOS.</p>
