Try to bring up your test score by 100+.

3

I already sent my scores and application in. Should I try to retake them and send those scores?

4

Yes, your EA application will be likely deferred to RD which is rolling. Don’t wait till after EA notification to take action. Practice hard and sign up for retake as soon as possible.

5

Do I stand a good chance or any chance of getting in RD? Or no not with my scores

6

If you really want to go to MI I’d say re-take the SAT and get it way up.

7

Your test score is below the 25th percentile with a significant gap. As you are from OOS, you even need to have better stat. Michigan has banned Affirmative Act in admission.

8

what do you mean michigan banned Affirmative Act? What is that exactly I am unfamiliar with it.
