<p>Will chance back</p>

<p>Match, definitely a competitive applicant.</p>

<p>Thanks for chancing, jibler. I should also add that my mother attained her Masters Degree from UMich College of Engineering. Not sure how much it helps but I figure it’s worth knowing.</p>

<p>Your ACT is at 75% while your GPA is below 25%. For oos, CoE would be a rather high match for you. For music instrument major, it depends heavily on the audition, so it is hard to chance for that part.</p>

<p>Yeah I figured I would at least let people know that I was applying to both. But like you said chancing the music part is pretty difficult without the audition.</p>

<p>Thanks for chancing though!</p>

<p>Being from Akron, it’s going to be a little more difficult for you. It always is for kids in the Midwest. That being said, you are one of the more competitive applicants. I’d say low-mid match for you. GPA could hurt a bit. Good luck!</p>

<p>Your chances are certainly better than the Indians’.</p>

<p>Thanks for chancing!</p>

<p>Why is that being from the Midwest hurts?</p>

<p>UMich is a high match for you. You have some great SAT/ACT scores and your ECs really show that you’re talented and love to play a wind instrument.
However, your GPA stands a little bit low. You have some math ECs and a small award, but I hope you are taken either Calc AB or BC this year. GPA is the only limiting factor but you still have a really good chance!</p>

<p>I took AP Calc BC last year as a junior. I’m not sure how other schools do it, but AP Calc is almost always limited to seniors at my school in Akron.</p>

<p>Everyone: high match seems to be the consensus here- to put that into percentage terms, what exactly does that mean?</p>

<p>Safety - 100%
Low Match - 85%
Match - 75%
High Match - 50%
Low Reach - 40%
Reach - 20%
High Reach - 10% </p>

<p>The interpretation I use at least</p>
