chances?? please answer

<p>Ok I have all my requirements set, I have taken all the classes I need to take.</p>

<p>My SAT scores: 660 math, 540 CR, 560 writing</p>

<p>I have run cross country for 3 years and am now the captain of the team.</p>

<p>I have a little bit over 100 hours of community service.</p>

<p>However my problem is my GPA. my weighted is 3.48, unweighted is 2.75. ya im pretty ashamed of my unweighted.</p>

<p>I do plan on retaking my SAT in october, and then sending UM my improved SAT score. however as of right now how are my chances looking, and if my chances are low, what type of SAT score should i plan on getting to be accepted into UM</p>

<p>You’ll need to get your SAT to at-least 1800. Also, you’ll have to thoroughly explain in your essay why your GPA is what it is. If you finish strong, and write a solid essay (plus good recommendations) you will have a shot.</p>

<p>I did not mean to hijack OP thread, but on a related note can you help chance my son’s scores please.</p>
