<p>umich match
cornell, if you had a higher sat, it would make up for the gpa…
so overall, low reach ish.</p>

<p>What is your ACT composite…NOT superscored?</p>

4

<p>I think Michigan is a Reach situation.</p>

<p>GPA: Average
SAT: 25th%-tile (Probably lower among OOS applicants)
ACT: 50th%-tile</p>

<p>Can you afford Michigan as an OOS student? Total COA for an out-of-state student is over $50,000/yr and Michigan is notoriously cheap with financial aid for OOSers.</p>

5

<p>vinceh, pretty sure that a 32 ACT is the 75th percentile mark for UMich for the ACT. At any rate, not being ranked in the top 10% hurts the OP.</p>

6

<p>Pretty sure Michigan doesn’t super score SAT or ACT. What’s your best single sitting ACT?</p>

<p>[College</a> Navigator - University of Michigan-Ann Arbor](<a href=“College Navigator - University of Michigan-Ann Arbor”>College Navigator - University of Michigan-Ann Arbor)</p>

<p>According to the stats submitted by Michigan to the government, 29 is the 25th%-tile ACT and 33 is the 75th%-tile. So a 32 is probably closer to 60th%-tile. Michigan doesn’t superscore ACTs so I’m concerned that the single sitting ACT is lower.</p>
