Chances to U of M?

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>Hi, I'm new here so...please don't burn me. I'm also quite new to the college application experience. But anyways, I thought it wouldn't hurt to give this a try. </p>

<p>I was wondering what my chances were to University of Michigan. I am especially worried because I've heard they don't weight grades anymore, and being a full IB student, my GPA is only a 3.6. Also, I will graduate from a very reputable high school, in state.
Will they still take into consideration the rigor of the IB program?</p>

<p>My ACT results will be somewhere around 28-30. I'm still debating whether to take the SAT, too, but I'd rather retake the ACT if my scores are terrible. </p>

<p>I'm active in an endangered species club and BuildOn (club for community service),and am VP of our school's environmental club. </p>

<p>I've been taking piano for 10+ years, and volunteer regularly at a local nature center (I have 50+ service hours). </p>

<p>I've taken various 6-week out of school "enrichment" programs (but these are required to graduate from our school anyways). They include pottery, photography, JAVA programming, and web Design. </p>

<p>Also, I'm asian-American, and plan on majoring in environmental sciences, if that has to do with anything. </p>

<p>This has been really stressing me out because I've always wanted to go there. But, I'd rather know my chances (and let my parents know) than being surprised when I get the rejection letter!</p>

<p>Thanks in advance.</p>

<p>Or maybe I’m doing something wrong…?</p>

<p>It LOOKS like you should be a match. It’s a gigantic public school so the weight is more on stats. I suggest taking the SATs anyways, I took the ACTs just for the sake of taking it, and ended up doing a lot better than my SATs (2080 compared to 33). If like you said you are in a reputable in state school, which can only mean that they have had many students from your school and they should know your schools difficulty well.</p>

<p>Thanks, guys!</p>

<p>Yes, I’m in state. My school sends a ton of kids to Michigan each year (I think only one or two get rejected), but, with the whole new weighting process, I was a bit worried.</p>
