<p>Have you taken your SAT or ACT?</p>

<p>If you apply early, you have a good shot at admission. 
Good luck, UMich is a very good school.</p>
<p>I agree with Vikingprime, hope you get in!</p>
<p>Thank you both. Any other opinions?</p>
<p>Don’t put all your eggs in one basket, but based on your stats i’d say you have a pretty good chance of admission.</p>
<p>Thanks, but what exactly are you referring to? :D</p>
<p>If you could increase your ACT, it would be a sure thing. Otherwise, as others have said, you have a pretty good chance.</p>
<p>Good luck! I’m thinking about University of Michigan too but it’s my second choice hehe, I want to go georgetown! Looking at your info I think you have a great chance, good luck!! Make sure you take things you’re really good at and try to be a well rounded person. And obviously show off your strong points ;)</p>
<p>Thanks. I will be retaking ACT this summer. I’m sure I can raise it to at least 31 this time.</p>
