<p>HOOKS:</p>
<p>I am of Hispanic descent.</p>
<p>I will not be applying for financial aid.</p>
<p>You are OOS and applying to engineering school. Plus, your SAT and GPA are not really impressive. But you have some hooks, so I would say slight reach.</p>
<p>I would say big reach</p>
<p>Even with being a URM</p>
<p>I looked on the Michigan website and it lists comp sci as under College of Engineering and College of Science/Arts. Could I apply to the Science college instead of engineering to improve chances?</p>
<p>Applying to LSA won’t necessarily improve your chances. I would say U-M is a reach. High school GPA is the number one factor and 3.6 would put you on the fence.</p>
<p>I know Michigan CS looks specifically at your math scores from you SAT/ACT, because CS is derived from math. Your math score is very low. I would recommend re-taking the SAT and trying to bring your math up at least to a 700, but probably a 750. How did you do in your math classes in school? It would also help if you took AP Calculus, and not regular Calculus. I would say Michigan CS is a stretch even though you are URM. Maybe take the SAT 2 in math, to show that you are good in math. That’s just my thought</p>
