<p>The mid 50th percentile of admitted students had a 27-31 ACT Composite, so I would say your chances are not great. </p>
<p>If you are a URM, recruited athlete, or legacy, then your chances increase.</p>
<p>My grandfather went to the university of michigan on a basketball scholarship. </p>
<p>My grandmother, two uncles, and aunt all graduate from the university of michigan, too. </p>
<p>That same aunt is a professor at the university. </p>
<p>I also have one cousin who is currently attending.</p>

<p>Legacy status is normally defined as parents who attended. But if there is a place on the application to list the other relatives, it may have some sway.</p>
<p>But a better ACT would be a much more effective boost to your application.</p>
<p>What kind of scores did your cousin have for admission?</p>
<p>There was an area on the application that asked if any grandparents had attended, so I was able to list them. </p>
<p>My cousin is a senior or junior this year. I know he scored a composite score of 26. I’m sure he had a GPA between 3.7-3.9 also.</p>
