You seem to be in a good standing, your ACT score and GPA can balance out with your extracurriculars. UM puts a big emphasis on what students are like outside of school for freshman applicants, and I believe you should be fine. I was accepted my freshman year with a little bit higher GPA, good SAT but less extracurriculars and I got a accepted. It’s not always about scores, usually early decisions get accepted with good academic standings because it means automatically more money for the school. I wouldn’t worry, I think you’ll be fine, girl. Wish you lots of luck and I hope you become a Cane soon! Let us know once you get in.
