<p>Are you worried about your ACT score? If you are instate I would tell you apply and see what happens but certainly apply to other colleges. If you are out of state which it looks like from your ECs and you can afford UofM you really have nothing to lose by applying although your ACT is lower than you normally see at UofM but your GPA is what Michigan likes to see. Again, if you can afford UofM, it’s an expensive school for out of state kids and internationals, put it in your reach category and see what happens.</p>

<p>If you’re IS, I would say you have an excellent chance, if you apply as Hispanic but even if you don’t you’re chance still isn’t bad. I know someone who was a URM and got in with a 3.78 GPA and a 27 ACT so there is no reason you can’t get in with a 3.9 and 26. But if you don’t apply as a URM, you should probably try to at least get 2 more points on your ACT or get the SAT equivalent.</p>

<p>I think it is worth applying but I would definitely have a back-up.</p>
