[ *] Other Factors/questions: Since my SAT scores are pretty mediocre I'm thinking of only sending my ACT score. What do you guys think?</p>
<p>I realize that applying early does up one's chances. But why exactly should I apply before oct? Any special reason? Do out-of-state students have a better chance? </p>
<p>I'm just saying this because everyone at MY school that applied before october got in, although not all admitted. None of the people i know that applied after october got in, most people were waitlisted.</p>
<p>There is little more than can be said. You have a decent GPA(I am assuming a 90% is an A- at your school) and a solid ACT (assuming over a 30 on the Math section) score. Michigan is slight reach. Apply before October (Michigan has a quasi-rolling admissions process which means applicants are admitted on a first come, first served basis) and hope for the best.</p>
<p>you have a good GPA, great ACT (go 30s!!!), and some pretty cool ECs. I really like the one about the medical missionary trip. like everyone's been saying, apply early and write great essays. good luck!</p>
