I am a hs senior with a 3.4 gpa and a 34 single sitting ACT score. I think I have a strong essay and solid recommendations. I do a lot of volunteer work with kids and clubs in my school. What do you think my chances are at U of Michigan? I know my gpa is very weak but I take all honors/ap classes. Thanks in advance!
And if you could mention other schools to look in to, that would be appreciated as well! Thanks again!
Is your GPA weighted or unweighted? Are you in-state? Your ACT score is competitive for university of Michigan, but your GPA will hurt you a lot especially if that is your weighted given. Top universities expect you to take a lot of honors/AP/IB classes, but they also expect you to do well in them. So, if your GPA given is weighted and you or OOS, I would say that it would be a reach, but if your GPA is unweighted and you are in-state your chances will definitely improve.(wouldn’t 100% take my word for it though as I am just a regular old high school senior just like yourself)
