<p>Do you guys think I have a good shot for the University of Michigan-Ann Arbor?
I applied regular decision just now to the College of Literature, Sciences, and the Arts.</p>

<p>ECs: Key Club, International Culture Club, Spanish Club, Orchestra, Mathletes/Senior High Mathletes, Red Cross Club, National Junior/Senior Honor Society, Foreign Language Honor Society, Vice President of my church's youth group.</p>

<p>Work: Worked an Accounting Firm over the summer</p>

-Academic Excellence Award</p>

<p>I honestly can’t relate to that gpa and I use the ACT but I know a guy who had a 26 and 3.8 gpa who got in. Also a 24 and 4.0 who got in. I don’t think its particularly selective. Whereas engineering is, I got deferred from the engineering :</p>
<p>I’m probably going to stick to LAS for economics if I don’t get into Ross by Sophomore year. Do you guys think an economics degree from UMich LAS is respected?</p>
<p>I think you have a decent shot, not a particularly good one though. GPA is decent, and SAT is a little weak. UM is getting more and more selective since they’ve switched to the CA. Are you a Michigan resident? (I am assuming you are not since you aren’t reporting an ACT score) OOS would make it particularly difficult for you to get in. You’ve got a good chance if you wrote good essays and have good LOR, so keep your hopes up but make sure you have other options available just in case. That’s my opinion.</p>
<p>It depends. I f you’re in-state, it’d be a match school and a likely admit, if you’re out of state, it’s more like a low reach but very possible, since you have such good community service, work, ECs, etc. . </p>
