<p>I have a 3.2 GPA. Although I don't know if this matters but I go to The Dalton School. Does coming from a New York private school hurt my chances? I got a 2.78 Freshman year and I have gotten better and better each year.</p>
<p>I got a 30 on the ACT. I took 1 SAT II (Chemistry) and got a 710. I plan on taking Math 2C I expect something like a 750 on that.</p>
<p>I have a good amount of ECs: I worked at a local synagogue, tutored kids in Harlem, worked at a non-profit thrift shop for aids research, Congresswoman Carolyn Maloney's office, School Newspaper (Staff Writer), Editor in Chief of Tiger Wire (Sports Magazine), Varsity Football and Varsity Lacrosse.</p>
<p>How much does it help my chances if I apply ED?</p>
<p>First of all, Michigan does not count your freshman year grades in your GPA. Recalculate your GPA using only Sophomore and Junior year. Most successful applicants seem to have a 3.6+, so your GPA including freshman year is on the low side. Does your school rank? A high rank might make up for a seemingly low GPA if your school is very difficult. I don't really know a lot about ACT scores since I live in the South, but I would say out of state applicants should have the equivalent of a 2000 or 2100 on the SAT to be competitve. I don't think they use SAT IIs for admission, but that could have changed. ECs are good, especially if you are applying for something related to English or Public Policy. The earlier you apply, the better.</p>
<p>If freshman year grades don't count I have a 3.44 GPA</p>
