<p>I know U Mich is a very big reache and any input on my chances, possible imrovements, or other recommended schools (major in business) would be appreciated.</p>
<p>You are a white male from OOS, which means you won't get any breaks. Your GPA and SATs are both lower than the Michigan mean (3.8 and well over 1300 respectively), so you need to improve your SAT (by at least 100 points on the CR and Math sections combined) and try to maintain a high GPA your senior year.</p>
<p>As for other schools I recommend, definitely look into Indiana University-Bloomington. I still recommend you improve your SAT, but it is an awesome university with a good B-school.</p>
<p>If it gives you some hope paul1212, I got in with a 3.9 uw and an 1770 SAT. I think UMich may value the person a bit more than once thought. Or maybe they just want that OOS tuition?</p>
<p>i think you got a solid shot. my friend with similar stats got in to UM.</p>
<p>You're a bit on the lower side, but you never know, apply early!</p>
<p>I would reccommend:
University of Illinois-Urbana has a great bschool (i think its #1 in accountaing, especially).
University of Southern California (also great bschool, beautiful campus)
University of Wisconsin-Madison</p>
<p>*never KNOW...is what I meant to say. I always leave out words, sorry</p>
