Chance Me - UMich

Colleges and Universities A-Z University of Michigan
1

Hey guys! UMich decisions come out pretty soon and I’m pretty anxious about them, so if you guy’s could chance me that’d be pretty great.

I applied to the School of Nursing and I’m an in-state, Asian male.
SAT: 1320 (640 R+W, 680 Math)
GPA: 3.78 UW (School doesn’t do weighted GPA)
Class Rank: 69/565
APs: I’ll have taken 6 by the time I graduate. European History (3), US History (4), Biology (3). I sent my US and bio scores to the school.

Senior Year Courses:

  • AP Calc AB
  • AP Gov
  • AP Lit
  • Human Bio
  • Spanish 4
  • Econ/Legal Studies (One semester each)

ECs:

  • Varsity Track (9, 10, 11, 12)
  • Track Leadership Group (11, 12)
  • NHS (11, 12)
  • Math League (11, 12)
  • Michigan Math Prize (12)
  • Senior Class Council (12)

Awards:

  • All-Academic Team
  • Honor Roll
  • AP Scholar

Teacher Recs:

  • I waived my right to read them but I got them from my APUSH, AP Calc, and human bio teachers. My calc and bio teachers had me my junior year for acc. algebra 2 and AP Bio so they know me really well. My APUSH teacher had me for two years too because he taught Euro and now he’s my advisor for Senior Class Council. I’ve got a good relationship with all of them so I’m not worried about what they wrote.

Other Recs:

  • I got one from my track coach and we’ve got a really strong relationship. I’m the only senior boy on our team who has been on varsity since our freshman year so he’s gotten to really see me grow as an athlete and person.

I think your stats look great…as for UMich, very competitive did you apply EA or RD?

@Seacoast I applied EA

You look very good, the only weak area is the SAT. If you are deferred re-take the test in January and let Michigan know.

I think your app fits the school profile pretty. GPA and test scores are a bit weak, and ECs aren’t phenomenal. BUT, I think I’m just desensitized because of how over-the-top CC posters are lol so you should get in if you showed interest in attending! Helps that you’re IS too!!!
