chance me at Umich?

applying in state EA to LSA, legacy from my grandpa, and my brother is applying as a transfer from IU this year (don’t know if that factors in?)

34 ACT
3.85 uw gpa (9th-11th grade with 5 APs, I’m taking 4 more my senior year so 9 total)
varsity field hockey and track 4 years
3 years vice prez, co-founder, and teacher: coding club
2 summers of kode with klossy
NHS
built by girls WAVE mentorship program 2 years
some volunteer stuff
2 years of the same summer job at a café
several art awards, painted a mural for my school
2 years national honorable mention for le grand concours french exam

uhh idk what else, my essays are about how my art evolved and being a woman in stem and teaching coding classes, one of my rec letters is from my ap chem teacher (I got a b in his class which is my worst grade other than a b in alg 2), and a rec letter from my field hockey coach who was a captain on Umich’s field hockey team when they won nationals in the early 2000s

You seem to be very competitive. Like the essay if it interlinks those ideas. Have you done a tour since your instate

yes, I have toured twice, and also have a close connection with an AI prof there

Maybe that Professor can write you a letter of recommendation? Always nice to have someone on the inside helping you.

Your stats are pretty competitive, and your essay topics also seem great! If you do a good job linking your extracurricular activity of your coding club to your personal values / personalities in your essay, I’d say your chance is pretty good.

@Teedub my common app essay is about my art, my community essay is about being a woman in stem using kode with klossy as an anecdote, and my activities essay is about how I love teaching classes at coding club and I want to continue that through the wolverine soft game design team. my why Michigan is shaky, it’s about how in lsa I can get a major in comp sci and a minor in art and design and connecting everything I love

@hgrobel I think your essay topics are strong. Even your why Michigan essay seems to have a good topic of understanding why LSA. LSA seems to promote that diverse in academics/interdisciplinary, so talking about your comp sci + art/design passion will work well!

If you are in-state you should be 65% in. Out of state 50-50. If you are an URM you are gold. Your extra-curriculars are nice but not a factor.
