So it seems you are very aligned with Michigan. I would send in your 34 ACT. Your 1490 while great is on the lower end of the 34’s . 1520 is the upper end on the conversion concordance for 34. The LSA avg is 3.9 with 32-35 ACT and engineering is 3.9 with 34 ACT avg so you are squarely there.

What makes you interesting to me is the AR that you are doing. Did you know about the Michigan Initiative? https://news.umich.edu/u-m-provost-announces-xr-initiative-to-spur-faculty-student-and-industry-collaboration-innovation/

My son and a friend started the first AR Student group when he was a freshman. He is a junior in Engineering now. It is one of the most active groups at Michigan with weekly meetings and projects. https://www.altrealityinitiative.com/. If you pursue the site you will see the first midwest AR conference he put on last year. This was his vision as a freshman. They are working on this years conference as we speak.

If you want more information just PM me. They could use someone like you on their board. They also have one of the largest VR/XR/AR labs in the United States.

But first…gotta get accepted. You are welcomed to come to the conference also. There will be information on the site I gave you to sign up etc .

Wow! Thank you so much for the info! Awesome to lean about the initiative and congrats to your son, that seems really cool. About to PM you!

Edit: I don’t have enough replies/threads to PM people yet due to this being a fairly new account, but thanks again for telling me about that- I had no clue.
