<p>You applied kind of late (I'm assuming you just did it), but I think you'll be in ok. GPA is in range, SATs might be just a little below average, but being a URM will help you out.</p>

3

<p>Yeah, I decided to apply just today. I am so worried that I might not get in other schools I want. And I don't want to wait for 3 months to hear decisions.</p>

4

<p>From what I understand, applying now, it will take three months to get a decision.</p>

5

<p>Yeah, it probably will. I applied October 23 with 4.0gpa and 33 ACT, still haven't heard back. I can't imagine you hearing back in less than 2 months.</p>

6

<p>Applying late really hurts you. You would have been a shoe-in earlier in the process. I really don't know how tought they are for late applicants though. I still think you've got a good chance.</p>

7

<p>It doesn't matter whether you are black or not. Your credentials are excellent. A 3.8 unweighed GPA with a tough course-load along with a 1420 SAT makes you a safe match. Given the fact that you are a URM practically seals the deal. You never know with Michigan, but your chances are definitely good.</p>

<p>u'll get in, 90% acceptance rate for black students.</p>

9

<p>wow really</p>

10

<p>Umm, the SATs are 1240, not 1420...CR score is 540...In my opinion, your chances are not great due to the SAT scores.</p>

11

<p>Its not all about SATs people.....</p>

12

<p>Ooops, my bad...but her chances are still excellent because her GPA, course-sellection, AP performance etc... are all very good, as is her SAT Math.</p>
