<p>Applying to College of Engineering. Plan on pursuing Computer Science.</p>
<p>Chance me please applying for class of 2016!!!</p>
<p>You look like you are in, but I can’t tell without ACT score or number of AP classes. It is expensive also and I’m not sure how much aid they give.</p>
<p>My friend with 33 ACT, 3.9 UW GPA, and captain of track team, got rejected.</p>
<p>How can you be in cross country and football? Aren’t they both fall sports?</p>
<p>Your ACT score will determine whether you get in or not-- no pressure! Good luck getting accepted and also getting a financial assistance package that will enable you to attend if needed.</p>
<p>Which did you do better? Cross country is usually done best by skinny rather than beefy guys. Football is usually the other way around. Which is another reason besides season overlaps why it’s an unusual combination.</p>
<p>gadad, you make it seem like Michigan is unusually expensive. I can think of more than 100 universities that are at least as expensive as Michigan. Cost of attendance is not a distguishing feature.</p>
<p>Worth noting, however, is that Michigan is not very generous with aid for OOS students. I will admit as much. But cost of attendance is not unusually, especially when you consider the quality of the school.</p>
<p>To the OP, your chances depend on your ACT results. Given your 3.85 unweighed GPA, 33+ on the ACT would make Michigan practically a safety. Between a 30 and a 32 would make you a match for Michigan. Less than 30 would make make you a reach.</p>
<p>Not a Michigan hater (I’m applying there), but I think the out-of-state costs are very exorbitant when you consider the fact that they give little to no aid to out of state kids. </p>
<p>Look at the OP’s income bracket, $60k. No way would his family be able to afford UM with the minimal aid they give out of state kids. </p>
<p>You know more than I do about UM’s scholarships (all I know is that I’m not very competitive for one haha), and it will mostly hinge on his ACT score now, but they only offer very few full tuition scholarships and a few $20k scholarships. </p>
<p>Yes, in comparison to other top schools, UM’s sticker price looks pretty cheap… if you’re rich. Notre Dame, USC, Penn, Northwestern, Cornell, etc… all have greater sticker prices, but they also have phenomenal financial aid. UVa and UNC are publics that help OOS kids as well.</p>
<p>But I also understand, that as a public school, they have to serve the people of Michigan first. I hope residents of MI know how lucky they are to go to a school like UM for <$25k.</p>
<p>I think GADad is mentioning cost because it’s a school that doesn’t give aid to OOS needy students.</p>
<p>Yes, of course there are more expensive schools, but many of them give need-based grants to those with big need like the OP’s. Therefore, UMich’s cost is very much a consideration. Haven’t we all seen very sad cases of low-income people taking out ridiculous loans to attend schools that give lousy aid? </p>
<p>The question isn’t whether he’ll get accepted…he will. The question is really one of affordability…which it won’t be. </p>
<p>If the OP is wanting to attend a highly ranked school, then he’s best to choose one that will give good aid for his big need. :)</p>
<p>Maybe xiggi, but doubtful. I’ve looked into it and it sounds really hard, a ton of hoops to jump through. And I don’t think you can be in school and change residency (or carry over X amount of credits). Otherwise, everyone would do it. </p>
<p>But technically aren’t you a dependent until you are 24? And even if your parents don’t claim you on their taxes, there are a lot of hoops to go through.</p>
<p>I forgot that he hadn’t taken his ACT/SAT yet. Someone mentioned an ACT 33 and I thought that was his score.</p>
<p>However, looking at his stats, it would be reasonable to guess that he will score high enough to get into UMich…however, it won’t be affordable.</p>
