<p>based on the stats of the people that i know at michigan, you should be totally fine! i suppose your GPA may be the only issue, but i seriously doubt you getting rejected.</p>

3

<p>You’ll be fine. Work on shoring up the GPA a little, I guess. But I really do think you’re a lock</p>

4

<p>Do well this semester and you should be in no problem, if you are in state. If you are out of state, I still think you have a good chance but its a little more iffy.</p>

<p>Yes I think you have a shot. ^Like they said, work on your GPA. I am curious though: if you are interested in economics, why did you only take AP Calc, AP Chem, and AP Art? Did you not want to have to take these in college? I don’t know what your essays are about, but if you intend to write about a passion for economics, you should probably provide some backup. I think Macro and Micro would have been doable. You might at least consider demonstrating your interest in english by taking a subject test (there are no subject tests for economics).</p>
