<p>Assuming that you wrote a decent essay, I think you will be in. Your GPA and ACT is above average, and you are taking AP courses which Michigan loves to see.</p>

<p>But again, be aware that Michigan joined Common App now, which will make the upcoming admission much more competitive.</p>

<p>What is common app? And why does that hurt my chances (as you make it sound it will)?</p>

<p>assuming your instate, you’re in especially if you apply early. Common app will make it harder for everyone because when common app is available, a ton of people that wouldn’t have applied to U of M actually will so there is more competition between students. The acceptance rate will eventually go down from an unusual 40% to more like 30%.</p>
