Chances @ UMich

<p>Well I don’t think it is that much of a reach because your unweighted GPA is 3.6. Most Michigan students fall into the category of having somewhere between a 3.6 and 4 UW. Make sure your essays are good and that your class rank is high. Those are the more important factors of admission than your SAT scores. As a senior now and going to Michigan I realize that SAT scores are not really that important as people like to stress. Get good letters of recommendation from teachers that you know well. For example teachers you see regularly and teachers that know about you, your goals and have some knowledge of your life. Those are probable factors that set you apart, rather than your SAT/ACT scores. If you want to go to Michigan, make your Essays stellar. Also apply early. The later you apply the harder it is to get in.</p>
