<p>Hey College Gal, I see that you’re new as well! Im also applying to UMich RD and have done a lot research in regard to the admissions at UMich and will chance you to the best of my ability in the following post- Stay Tuned!</p>

<p>It seems that you have a fairly good chance. Your GPA slightly below average, whereas you excelled in your ACT. You score your essay 9-10 which puts you ahead of the game! As well as being a female in a mostly male field, I would say you have a damn good shot. Good Luck! </p>

<p>Thank you for your response, I really appreciate it! I’m hoping for the best, but I really don’t know much about the Michigan admittance process. Good luck to you as well! I’m looking to submit my app this winter break.</p>

<p>Out of state student with ACT 31 and GPA 3.83 applying to LSA would be a low reach for you. Both your GPA and ACT are slightly below admission average. Note that the mid 50 ACT last year was 30-33.</p>

<p>Thanks for your input! I took the ACT again this December and hopefully improved my score. Do you know if UMich superscores?</p>

7

<p>UMich doesn’t superscore ACT, only some other schools do like CMU. I think you’ll have some trouble judging from what I can see. You definitely want to work on those essays to boost your chances. If you can raise your ACT that would definitely be a boost.</p>

<p>Chance back?</p>
