<p>bump</p>

3

<p>Sorry :c</p>

4

<p>are you instate</p>

5

<p>@class0f15‌ No, I’m from Cali</p>

6

<p>You have some awesome stats! I’d say Mich is a low match but only because you’re out of state. Good luck! I wouldn’t sweat it.</p>

7

<p>OOS and Engineering, I would say slight reach. </p>

8

<p>Does Umich not like OOS students? </p>

9

<p>I think your Sat is okk. But not sure high enough to get you in for RD. Your EC’s and GPA looks fine.
I think it will be low match to match for you.
Best of Luck</p>

10

<p>@kkedia‌ what ACT score do you think i’ll need to make my chances a match to high match? Thanks for your input.</p>

11

<p>I’m instate and most of the kids here need around a 33 to get in to the school of engineering. OOS is going to be more competitive, I still believe it’s a high match for you. Your EC’s and SAT II scores make up for the 2-3 points on the ACT.</p>

12

<p>CoE would be a reach for you. Your GPA and test scores are below admission average and you are from OOS. Note that the admission rate was ~20% last year and it will go lower this year. </p>

13

<p>that’s scary. I guess i’ll have to go pretty hardcore on those essays :/</p>

14

<p>I would say that umich is a high match to low reach. This is only because the students who are applying to COE from my OOS school have arund a 34-35 on their ACTs. However, you can get in if you write killer essays!</p>

15

<p>The admission average ACT for CoE last year was 33. It is scary. </p>

16

<p><strong><em>UPDATE</em></strong>
Math 2: 800</p>

<p>French: 700</p>

<p>Physics: 750</p>

<p>ACT: 33</p>

17

<p>bump!</p>

18

<p>I got in with a 28 ACT, though I’m in state, still your stats are amazing so write a passionate essay and you should do fine!</p>

19

<p>@Aaly222‌ Did you apply to engineering, and what class were you? Do you have suggestions on how to write my essays well?</p>

20

<p>I got into CoE with a 2090 and 3.8 UW
I had lots of ECs, very unique ECs …
I think you should be fine s long as you kill your essays !
I thin UMich really looks for academic and extracurricular potential …
Be sure to demonstrate lots of passion in your essays and demonstrate interest towards UMich …
Do research on the type of engineering you want to do and look up the undergraduate research opportunities UMich offers and talk about it ! :slight_smile:
Good luck !! </p>
