<p>You sound fine.</p>

<p>Hmm....well...kiddo. You are a member of a racially preferred group here, and barring that, your stats show you to be beyond well qualified. </p>

<p>UM is a safety...</p>

<p>But..if you do come here...join the RC (shameless plug)...we need more smart minorities in East Quad.</p>

<p>I agree with KB. Your stats make you a qualified match for Michigan. But given your URM status, Michigan is practically a safety for you.</p>

<p>You seem solid.</p>

<p>Because Michigan is considering more things than just ethnicity, it would also be in your favor if you were first generation to attend college, from a single-parent household, or from a lower socioeconomic group. You don't mention those things (and you may not wish to reveal them here) but I know they may also aid your chances.</p>

<p>With your GPA, class rank and test scores, you're definitely going to be admitted. Think about Honors.</p>
