<p>An increase in the CR reading score will help but I think the bigger question is how they will evaluate the 2 A’s and 3 B’s from sophomore year and how U-M evaluates your high school and the curriculum you took. I don’t know anything about your high school and I am not an expert in Naviance. I based the slight reach on your GPA being slightly below the Naviance average more so than the SAT score. The rest of your application looks good and I am confident you will be a good fit for U-M if you get in. Try to get all A’s in your classes this fall. Good luck and Go Blue.</p>
