<p>***Also I am researching with a professor at Rutgers. We are trying to find a correlation between cortical asymmetry (depression) and hypertension/heart disease using a electroencephalogram and a pulse/blood pressure monitor. I think this is pretty unique</p>

<p>Model UN (10,11,12)

--My school's MUN team is the best MUN team in the state
-- Placed first several times at my High School's 'mock' model united nations conferences.</p>

<p>-I was lucky enough to receive a New Jersey Legislature Citation of Praise and Commendation for my Community Service</p>

National Spanish Honors Society (11,12)

<p>question: is that your umich calculated GPA? bc they do it differently than a vast majority of high schools. </p>

<p>if your GPA is in fact a 3.75+, i'd say you stand an excellent chance, jst put time into the essays. good luck!</p>

<p>3.7 UM GPA -- I think</p>

<p>Sophomore Year
Adv Alg II Honors- B
Spanish 3 Acc- A
Chem Honors - A
American Studies Honors - A
Language Arts 2 Honors - A</p>

<p>Junior Year
Precalc (H) - A
AP Chem - B
AP US - B
LA III (H) - A
Spanish 4 (H) - A</p>

<p>so out of 10 possible grades, I got 7 As and 3 Bs (37/40) --> 3.7 UM GPA?</p>

<p>does that change my chances?</p>

4

<p>i think you have a very good chance, i'd put you at a solid match. best of luck, and apply ASAP!</p>

5

<p>yep yep solid chance</p>

6

<p>good to know :) -- especially since I got deferred from UChicago, I have been pretty bummed</p>

7

<p>Yes, match sounds about right.</p>

8

<p>so what exactly does "match" mean? I've heard some people say match is a 50/50 shot, some say that it's a 80%+ chance.</p>

<p>how would you define match? (numbers are always nice :) )</p>

9

<p>Admissions is not a statistical equation. You have a good shot of getting in, but it depends on so many variables that an exact probability isn't possible to determine.</p>

10

<p>ditto, as in that you fit in with the type of applicants they normally accept, but you aren't above and beyond; basically the normal admitted applicant. good luck!</p>

11

<p>thanks for the clarification!</p>

12

<p>it's still a match even though I am applying Jan 1st (as noted in my title thread)</p>
