<p>Essays: Personal statement was good, but nothing special; supplemental essays were excellent.
Rec Letters: Teachers were pretty good; didn't see counselor rec, but I suspect it was strong as well.</p>

<p>I know a 3.7 is borderline for U of M, but I'm not sure how my other statistics will play in. What do you guys think?</p>

<p>Match</p>

<ul>
<li>Strong test scores and EC record - leadership is a plus, depending on which type of position it was</li>
<li>GPA is OK because of heavy AP/honors load, which should compensate for the fact that it’s below average - it also sounds that your AP scores have been strong which will be a plus for you</li>
</ul>

<p>Good luck!</p>

<p>Match but not a slam dunk.</p>

<p>^Agreed on the OP’s chances not being a slam dunk (otherwise I would have said “strong match” or “safety” if those CC terms we used back then are still being used)</p>

<p>Your ACT score is right on target for Michigan, and your leadership will look great on an application. I’d definitely say you have a good shot, and in-state is a bonus as well.</p>
