<p>What are my chances of getting into U-M Ann Arbor??
I have a 3.75 GPA
a 3.85 U-M GPA
ACT:27 with highest scores in math and science
I am planning on applying the earliest possible and am an instate student
I have been in a handful of clubs and organizations like NHS, DECA, Spanish Club, I play Lacrosse, etc.</p>
<p>Slight reach. Try to up that ACT score to at least a 29.</p>
<p>dude u forgot to put all the hard classes uve taken... like AP KYLE</p>
<p>Ya i was thinking i should but i have taken it twice and recieved 27's both times. But i did forget to mention that i will have taken 5 AP's by the end of my senior year.</p>
<p>Hmm...I think you'll get in applying early as an instate student, but if one thing keeps you out, it's your test scores. Have you taken the SAT?</p>
<p>No I have not taken the SAT. Do you think that would help?</p>
<p>What district did you go to school in? Most districts are going to mainly prepare you for the ACT. If you went to a school like mine, SAT probably wouldn't help because they don't put much of an emphasis on vocabulary and things like that.</p>
<p>It couldn't hurt to take the SAT. I got a 1480 in the SAT after 3 tries (1430 first time) and then took the ACT once, had never really looked at the test before, and got a 34 (which converts to a 1520 SAT).</p>
<p>I think the ACT is a lot easier than the SAT...especially if your school doesn't place a lot of emphasis on vocabulary - important for the SAT. Of course I just wasn't great on the reading sections of the ACT either. Probably could have had a 35 or 36 if I knew how to do that stuff.</p>
<p>Thanks dsmo and christine. It just seems to me i got a 27 both times and to take it again and probably get the same score is discouraging. I just thought with a 3.75 GPA(U-M 3.85), a 27 on the ACT (which is only one point below the avg.), 5 AP's, being instate, applying early, and also being in a handful of diverse groups and clubs, I thought that would be enough. Also me being a white male doesn't help me either.</p>
