Chance Me (Updated!)

<p>I'm REALLY sorry to post this again; I know it's not exactly kosher to make multiple threads concerning the same topic, but for some reason CC doesn't let you edit your original posts for some reason. But I just got my new ACT score back, so here goes: </p>

<p>Sex: Male
Ethnicity: White/Asian (Japanese)
GPA: 3.83 UW (School doesn't weight)
ACT: 30 (35 English, 25 Math, 30 Reading, 28 Science)
Class Rank: 21/321 (top 7%)</p>

<p>APs/Honors:
Psychology: 4
US Government: 4
Composition: 5
US History: 4
Macroeconomics: 2
Honors Earth Science, Biology, and English Freshman year (Only year Honors was offered)</p>

<p>I'm currently taking AP Stats, and even though I didn't take the class, am probably going to take the AP Literature test as well. I also took Japanese and Chinese classes after school at the local community college.</p>

<p>As for ECs, I've had the lead role in our high school musical for the last 3 years and the play for one year. I played Varsity Tennis my Sophomore year, and did Show Choir for two years, receiving State honors each time for multiple events. I also helped to co-found a chapter of Students Against Destructive Decisions at my school, and am the current Vice-President. I also did Drama Club for a couple years and helped to get that program started as well. I spent the summer between Sophomore and Junior year in Washington, DC as a student delegate to the Congressional Youth Leadership Conference, which was a great experience. I did NHS my Junior year, but I ended up quitting and declining admission back to the program. I really hated it. I was given an award for community service excellence last Fall as well for my work with election efforts. I know there's a few I'm missing, but whatever.</p>

<p>Also, I feel like my essays were incredibly solid, and my counselor/teacher recs were really great, too. Also, I'm in-state. Thanks for your time!</p>

<p>Have you applied yet?</p>

<p>You have a really good shot, especially since you’re in-state.</p>

<p>Match, you’ll be fine if you’ve already applied; just don’t send in that 2 score lol.</p>

<p>Thanks! God, I wish I could do that… AP makes you send them as a package :confused: Well, at least that’s what my dad told me when he sent it. I dunno.</p>

<p>But how do I go about making sure U of M holds up for this ACT score? I told them on my application that I took it again in October and that I didn’t have the score yet, and I had this test sent directly to them, but should I call the admissions office and make sure everything’s in order?</p>

<p>Yes, call the admissions and they will let you know if they recieved the ACT score. Since you’ve already made the November 1st deadline, I wouldn’t worry about your chances. A 3.8 30 ACT instate is nearly guarnteed admission. Good luck.</p>

<p>Match
(10 char)</p>

<p>Okay, well the admissions office has my new score, so that’s good. Seeing as my app was completely received on 10/27, I wonder how much this will delay my application review. Anyone have a clue?</p>

<p>Also, any more chances? Thanks for all those who have so far!</p>

<p>Im in the same boat as you. I took the ACT in October and am hoping that they get it soon. You said they already had yours, did you take the writing part?</p>

<p>Nah, I took it without writing this time. I forget what writing was out of, but on my last one I got one below the max, so I didn’t feel the need to re-take it, and I knew it would slow down the scoring. Hopefully they get yours soon, too! </p>

<p>Also, I called ACT right before I took the test and told them to send the new score the second it was available to a list of colleges. I think that’s why they got mine so fast. You might wanna do the same thing if you’re concerned about the rate at which they get it.</p>

<p>Just to let you know, UMich only accepts ACT with writing (but im sure you already knew that :))</p>

<p>Yeah, but after talking to my district’s admissions officer, they said they take the highest composite and look at writing separately, so it’s all good. :P</p>

<p>Bump it up!</p>

<p>I asked this question before, but there appears to be conflicting information on this thread. So you were supposed to send them you offical AP scores? Or do you just self report and send them at the end?</p>

<p>By the way, since you’re in state, you’re a solid match.</p>

<p>I sent them officially and self-reported… I dunno what the suggested method is, though. I just figured sending them couldn’t hurt.</p>

<p>^^Official scores are required to the best of my knowledge, so be sure to send same.</p>

<p>I got conflicting information a few weeks ago…</p>
