<p>*Model UN basically consumes about half of all my free time weekly, I've put tons of effort into it and have won Individual Awards at National Conferences. I think I really want to emphasize how MUN has changed me as a person in my essays.</p>
<p>do I have a shot?</p>
<p>Wasn't the UPenn program awesome? Your stats, etc. are about the same as mine and I got in (I had higher test scores, a bit lower GPA)...although I am from a geographically sought-after location (Alabama) and you're from New Jersey...so I'd say match/slight reach.</p>
<p>A word about the essay: make sure you make it personal. They know you're good at MUN, but they want to know what makes you, as a person, great.</p>
<p>thanks! anymore people with input?</p>
<p>thanks! anyone else wanna help me?</p>
<p>you're better than me and people say I'm match, so you're probably good. Just apply early and maybe we'll see each other in Ann Arbor in a year :D</p>
<p>i'd love to be a wolverine for the fall of '08! Any others w/ their 2 cents?</p>
<p>anyone out there? bumppp</p>
<p>You have a great chance at getting in :) I'd say your stats are better than a match.</p>
<p>it's possible that my GPA may drop from a 3.8 to a 3.75 -- is that gonna hurt me a lot? (my weighted will stay the same , 4.4)</p>
<p>no way you have solid stats & that .05 drop won't make any sort of a difference, don't worry :) You have a very solid chance @ Mich</p>
<p>Yeah..dont worry about the .05 drop, won't do anything</p>
<p>the infamous "bump"</p>
<p>lol was that a stephen colbert reference</p>
<p>lol -- it was not intended, although it could work as one. Anyone else w/ input?</p>
<p>TheIndividual, you are a match for Michigan. Your SAT and GPA are right around the mean for out of staters.</p>
<p>Dude , you'll get in:p. Relax.</p>
