<p>Hey everyone, I just found out recently that my parents are planning on moving away from PA, which totally screwed up my plans of going to CMU/Penn State. I've decided to apply to mich since it will be closer to our new residence, however I'm sending the application in January since I've already missed my school's 1/1 deadline. :( Since the admission will be fairly competitive I was wondering what my chances would be if I submitted my application in January.</p>
<p>Asian Male
Projected Major: Engineering
Best total SAT (not composite): 1330 (620V 710M)
Composite SAT: 1400 (620V 780M) <~ don't think mich looks at composites :(
GPA: 95.3 (Weighted; not sure about UW)
5 AP's (most allowed in our schedule): European history, English, Bio, Physics, BC Calc
pretty slick essays and recs too (hopefully)</p>
<p>EC's:
Orchestra/Symphony Orchestra (9-12)
Fall Play - 11th
10th grade play - 10th
Spring Musicals - 11th, 12th (I'm very theatre oriented....our school productions take a lot of commitment)
Various science clubs...a few leadership roles in those (Enviornmental, Physics, Bio)
Young Democrats
Student Council
National Honor Society and stuff...awards...nothing too major ;P</p>
<p>Work experience:
2 years of work in food service over the summer
12th grade - working at the cancer institute at the med center on website programming/maintenence for a heavily funded research website</p>
<p>I'm really worried (mostly SAT and GPA wise), so any input will be great. Thanks.</p>
<p>gotta say dude, it's a little late, but as long as your uw average (that's pretty much what they look at) is A to A- range unweighted, i'd say you have nothing to worry about. your SAT is just fine for Michigan. </p>
<p>Michigan's GPA recalculation goes like this. For a sememster, if it's an A, B, or C, strip off the minuses and plusses. an A gets u a 4, B gets a 3, etc. average all the semsters in your 10th and 11th grade. there's your GPA for Michigan. i'm not sure what perecentage constitutes an A- to an A, but unless that's some pretty heavy weighting there, and if you took challenging courses, u'r prolly in!</p>
<p>good luck, michigan is first choice for me! hopefully i see u there, lol!</p>
<p>wait, i just realized ur out of state. i gotta tell you, that's gonna make it a little harder. i'm not sure how much harder, but I'd still say that you at least have a great chance.</p>
<p>Hey, thanks. Yeah, I'm out of state and my mich GPA is ~3.68. :\ Good luck, qqa. If anyone else has anything to add please do so.... I'm so desperate. :(</p>
<p>me 2, im applying mich w/ mich gpa of 3.77, sat of 1340, everything else average, but I'm also out of state...do I have a chance? O and I'm applying today, I know its crazy!</p>
