What is your uwGPA?
How are your section scores in SAT and ACT?
@billcsho my uwGPA is 3.6 out of 4.0, supposedly. I’m saying supposedly because my school doesn’t show unweighted on the transcript, but that is what I calculated myself
well superscored SAT is 770, 770, 720 but in one sitting it is (M, CR, W) 750, 730, 720
ACT is pretty bad with 32, 34, 27, 33 (math, english, science, english comp)
GPA is a bit low compare to admission average of 3.9. How is your course rigor.
Your SAT is fine and within mid 50. UMich CoE is getting very competitive and the admission average ACT is near 33 last year.
I think it’s decent. I’m taking 6 IB courses and a varsity sport this year and I have been taking the hardest offered classes since freshman year
@snowchocolate, I think you have a very good chance. Your SAT scores, extra-curriculars, and your GPA seem to be on par with Michigan’s standards. If I were the admissions office, I would definitely accept you. Best of Luck!
Your course rigor is fine which may help the low GPA a bit. Nevertheless, I know an in state student with ACT 33 and slightly better GPA got deferred from EA and still waiting.
Thank you so much! I got deferred from Georgia Tech, so I’m still nursing that wound. That hurt because I know people who got in with lower SAT and less extra-curriculars, but slightly higher GPA.
My GPA was almost the same as yours (but rank was a little higher), my SAT was a bit higher, and you can judge my extracurriculars for yourself. I was deferred, and then admitted to LSA. I applied for Computer Science, and I am still waiting on Ross Preferred Admission.
Congrats @yikesyikesyikes but that makes me slightly nervous
@snowchocolate Thanks, and you seem to be a competitive applicant. Your sports, for one, are amazing- way better than what I ever had :P. Good luck! BTW, I am OOS too :).
