Thanks for any feedback. Also, where do you think would be a fit for me if UF is out of reach. I know my GPA isn’t the greatest but I’ve taken many rigorous courses (AP Psychology, AP US History, AP English, AP Literature, AP Stats, AP Government, Honors Geometry, Honors Algebra, Honors Religion for two years, Honors Anatomy and Physiology, and Honors Marine Biology) and have done a lot of extracurriculars. Any feedback is greatly appreciated and thank you for your time

Out of state competition is brutal. Being first gen will help, but I’m not sure it’ll be enough with that GPA.

I plugged your numbers into the admissions calculator at prepscholar.com. It’s saying less than 10% chance.

Your ACT is average for UMich.

Don’t mean to be discouraging. There is no harm in applying and seeing what happens.

Best wishes, and good luck. Let us know.

ACT range is 30-34, so you are at 25th percentile. You are well below the 25th percentile for GPA (but HS may vary) for GPA. You may want to look at SEC schools like Alabama, LSU, Auburn, etc. or other Florida schools if you are a Florida resident.

a reach for OOS…your w gpa and act will get you some good merit money from bama. I would guess 50% tuition or more…what about IU?

Depends what state you’re from. If you’re from Cali, Chicago, Boston, NYC city and suburbs, or just any popular area…there’s a lot of competition. But if you’re from somewhere like Nevada, Oregon, etc., you have a pretty decent chance. Michigan wants representation from all 50 states.

I have to disagree with @guitar321 , virtually no one is admitted with a 3.2 unless they are a recruited athlete, child of a major donor, or have some other exceptional ability. The latest CDS has 1.2% of students admitted in the 3.00-3.24 GPA range. That is only about 150 out of 55,000 applicants.

Here’s what I think: we’re just random people who have legitimately no idea as to who will be admitted into what college. Therefore, apply, try your hardest, write essays that show who you are, and hope for the best. Whatever happens happens—but, in all honesty, it’s no one’s place to affirm or discourage you, because we have no idea.
