<p>Im a white girl from New Jersey who attends a public school in Manalapan, NJ. My SAT scores are a 1460(660 verbal and 800 math) and my GPA is a 4.3833 on a 4.6 scale. I am ranked 16/496. I applied to all of my schools with a mathematics major.
My extracurriculars are:
National Honors Society
ADAPT (alcohol and drug abuse prevention team)
B'nai B'rith Youth Organization (Vice President- it is a jewish youth group that i am actively involved in)
Volunteer Club
Cancer Awareness Society- exec. board
Classics Honors Society- Vice president
Latin Honors Society- vice president
Varsity Basketball Manager</p>

<p>my essay is really creative and well written and my shorter essays are all pretty well written and I know at least one of my teacher recommendations should be really good because hes a genius, but I haven't seen it.</p>

<p>please let me know my chances, thanks</p>

<p>Top 3% and 1460 on your SAT? Not bad. What's your unweighed GPA like? If it is over 3.8, you have a very good chance.</p>

3

<p>thanks, i think its prob a 3.8 or higher
bump bump</p>

4

<p>If that is the case, I think your chance are very good. There are never any guarantees in life, but I would be surprised if you were not admitted.</p>

<p>i applied november 18th too- is that gonna affect me that it was so late?</p>

<p>You did apply relatively late, but candidates with your stats usually get into Michigan.The difference between Michigan and the Ivy League is not that the students aren't as good, but the rate at which they accept the good students is much higher. The average student admitted into Michigan is about the same as the average student admitted into Columbia or Penn. Unfortunately, because of Michigan's slightly weaker yield, the average student who actually enrolls into Michigan is slightly weaker.</p>

<p>I was accepted to Tufts ED and Michigan as well, and the acceptance rate for each school is around 25%, (25% for out of state applicants). The averages for SATs and whatnot are a little higher at Tufts (around 1400, but I got in with a 1340), average rank is 7%, but they are pretty similar as far as stats go.</p>

8

<p>So...which is is going to be...Tufts or Michigan?</p>

9

<p>Tufts, since it's Early decision</p>

10

<p>That's too bad Andy, but Tufts is a great school in a great area anyway. Can't go wrong witrh Tufts. Great luck to you.</p>

11

<p>is it true that michigans acceptance rate is 56%? (i THOUGHT i read that somewhere)</p>

12

<p>According to Princeton Review it's 53%.. wow that's really high. <a href="http://www.princetonreview.com/college/research/profiles/admissions.asp?listing=1023092&LTID=1%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.princetonreview.com/college/research/profiles/admissions.asp?listing=1023092&LTID=1&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>Michigan typically accepts between 40% and 60% of its applicants...although it has hovered in the 50% range for the last couple of years. That may seem high, but it isn't when you consider that most applicants have SAT scores over 1300, ACT scores over 28 and GPA and GPAs over 3.7. The acceptance rates for students with stats under the ones mentioned above are actually very low. Other schools that are similar to Michigan in that regard are Johns Hopkins and Chicago. They have relatively small application pools, low yields and as such, high acceptance rates, but the quality of the applicants is good.</p>
