Honor Roll
My essays were very strong, and so were my recommendations. My dad is also a graduate from there and is very connected among the alumni association. Also out of state.
Others might disagree (they usually do!), but I like your chances quite a bit. Michigan’s an odd flagship, with 50% coming from OOS. Sometimes, a public flagship is tougher for OOS students since so many seats and resources go to in-state students. Other times, the flagship seeks OOS students and this can be a plus.
But your profile is already strong on its own merits; the fact your father is an alum and has connections with the alumni association only makes your case stronger. I’d say you’re a shoo-in.
I think you have a shot, chance me back please. Maybe act would lower chances slightly but it’s alright.
What is your uwGPA in 4.0 max scale? Your current ACT score is below the mid 50 at UMich. Even UMich has a lot of OOS students enrolled, it only admit 20% (or less this year) OOS applicants. Your below 25th percentile ACT score would make your chance far below the average 20% admission rate. It is likely a high reach for you.

“Among in-state students, 44.5 percent of the 11,489 students who applied were offered admission and 3,537 in-state freshmen enrolled for a yield of 69.1 percent. That compares to an admit rate of 22.2 percent of 48,397 out-of-state and international students who were offered admission. Among those, 3,310 enrolled for a yield of 30.8 percent.”
Even though almost 50% of students are OOS, there are WAY more OOS applicants, which is what makes it so much harder.
