<p>Does your school use Naviance?</p>

3

<p>Moderate Chance, maybe a 50-50 or slightly less. Test Score is better than average, but your GPA is fairly weak. If you have been taking very difficult classes your chances will improve.</p>

4

<p>Unless there is something unusual about your high school a 3.5 weighted GPA is a reach for Michigan. The test scores will not cause the admissions to overlook the GPA.</p>

5

<p>Are you sure your GPA is weighted? I mean, that’s not very good. You did well on your ACT though so is your high school just very tough?</p>

<p>“Playing Recreational Soccer for 10 years (Captain all 10 years)”</p>

<p>LOL, come on dude… that’s a load of BS. There aren’t “captains” in rec soccer, let alone when you were 8 haha</p>
