<p>What are my chances? I was told I wouldn’t get a response until February. But apparantly some people have already started getting them?</p>
<p>On the fence, but I'd say that you'll probably get in because of class rank. Coming from another Great Lakes state doesn't really help you in terms of "geographic diversity" to the degree that applying from Nevada or Washington would. ACT is bottom half, so I think anyone there can realistically be called on the fence.</p>
<p>27, or definitely 28, and I'd say that you were in for certain.</p>
<p>Thanks for the responses! I know my ACT isn't super strong, but I was hoping my GPA, and stuff would help it out.
I've taken some AP's too. (5 total)</p>
<p>and my senior schedule is:
Organic Chemistry,Writing for Media, AP English Lit, AP Calculus ab, Physics 1, Anatomy & Physiology</p>
<p>I think your GPA outweighs your ACT, especially since you apparently are keeping it up even with tough classes. You definitely have a good shot: I'd think you'll get in.</p>
<p>Thanks. I don't know if this helps, but I've already gotten in to a bunch of Michigan schools (U of M [sorry guys lol], MSU, Grand Valley, etc.) So I hope I got a good shot here.</p>
