<p>Hello! I really really want to go here and was wondering if others thought I'd get in. </p>

<p>Where is your home state? Is that GPA weighted or unweighted?
I am sorry to tell you that your current ACT score is not only below the average. It is indeed far below even the 25th percentile at 30 for UMich. You definitely should retake ACT if you want to try UMich. Otherwise, it would be a high reach for you.</p>

<p>Oh whoops- it’s not weighted, my home state is MI</p>

<p>Great. Then your GPA is okay and you just need to bring your ACT up 2-3 points to make it a high match for in state.</p>

<p>Thanks :slight_smile: yeah I figured that would probs be the case</p>

<p>I would say you have a pretty good chance. I’d say accepted if they like you and how you convey yourself in your essays as long as you’re applying to LSA. College of engineering : I say barely any chance</p>
