Your chances are very good. Your stats are similar to my kid’s and she’s a microbio major at Umich. She had a similar composite on her ACT, but scored a 34 in Science…not sure if that makes a difference. Her gpa was 3.96, also in top 3%. She also had a lot of APs, community service, and leadership roles in her ECs She did get 5s in AP Bio and Calc AB. I think your chances are very good. Write excellent essays.

You are well within LSA range, the ACT is slightly below median but GPA above. Take the essays seriously and you will be fine. If you are deferred, don’t fret, plenty of kids at my son’s school (in-state) with similar stats to yours were and received their acceptance in February. Make sure to apply EA (Nov 1) otherwise it will be much more difficult.

Michigan really wants the best in-state students (you!) and with an 82% yield, clearly the students want to go to Michigan too.
