<p>What kind of SAT scores should I be aiming for in May to make Umich as close to safety as possible? I am saying around 95% of acceptance?
Also, does Umich ignore freshman grades? because my grades dropped sophomore year... but went back up in junior year...</p>

<p>Am I on the right track? What SAT scores do I need? Also, my EC's are minimal. Nothing spectacular, just a few community service hours, summer job, and internship. Does Umich stress a lot about things other than scores?... since it's a large public institution.</p>

<p>Everyone says that GPA is the biggest factor. Your Michigan GPA comes out to 3.65 according to my calculation. I think you'll need some very good SAT scores to make Michigan a "safety."</p>

<p>Michigan does not look at freshmen grades, as far as SATs just do the best you can, search princeton review on google to see sat ranges and how Michigan adcoms weight different areas of academic areas. I'd say to have a 95% chance the sats scores would have to be outstanding like 1450+, but you can get in with much lower scores than that, but if you have above a 1450 id say you have a 95% chance of being admitted.</p>

<p>Thanks for your thoughts. I'll work towards that 1450.</p>
