Chances at UM?..

<p>I live in Florida and I'm a junior white male planning to major in either Economics or Applied Math with computer science.</p>

<p>Here are my stats:
4.0 unweighted, 4.65 weighted
7/537 class rank
8 AP classes by the time I graduate</p>

<p>33 Composite ACT
33 math
33 english
33 reading
31 science</p>

<p>1990 SAT (retook today but probably won't submit)
630 math
660 reading
700 writing</p>

<p>EC's are okay but not amazing:
2 baseball varsity letters
Mu alpha theta
NHS
120-140 volunteer hours
Working 16-20 hours a week as manager of a concession stand
Co-founder of fantasy sports club (yes I love football so count me in)
Department awards in physics and government</p>

<p>First of all, what are my chances of acceptance?</p>

<p>Second, I won't qualify for FAFSA financial aid or anything most likely, but would I have a chance to get some kind of aid?</p>

<p>Thanks everyone!</p>

<p>If you are not qualify or FAFSA, that means you can only get merit aid. However, with ACT 33, you are not likely to get any merit aid as oos at UMich. Umich LSA should be a high match for you.</p>

<p>alright thank you @billcsho</p>

<p>I was accepted to UMich LSA ending senior year with around a 3.8 and a 32 ACT! Just write really good essays!</p>

<p>@productrule in state or out of state? And did they pay for anything or was it all you?</p>

<p>It looks like you have a very good shot.</p>

<p>You are OOS though, so I wouldn’t count on any merit aid. They may throw you a grand here or there, but nothing substantial. </p>

<p>I think you’ll be a strong candidate for admission. Definitely submit the ACT scores instead of the SAT scores, and make sure that you write good essays (indifferent ones can spoil a strong application for OOS students in particular). I would guess that you have an outside chance of modest merit aid, but you probably won’t be in the running for any large scholarships. </p>
