<p>If you’re in-state, I think you have a pretty strong chance at admission. The only weakness is your course difficulty. If you’re Out-of-state, i think you’re a slight reach.</p>

<p>I actually talked to an admissions person today and asked him about honors classes.</p>

<p>He said they would be viewed essentially in the same light as APs (maybe a tiny bit lower), even if your couselor did not feel the same way.</p>

<p>So, your course rigor, for Michigan at least, should be fine (assuming 7 is a good number for your school).</p>

<p>How many total AP, IB, and honor classes are available at your school?</p>

<p>I would have to guess around 60 total honors ap classes are offered cant give you an exact number</p>

<p>match
(10 char)</p>

<p>What do you mean by match</p>

<p>Match means your stats fit in U of M’s average and you have a good chance of getting in. </p>

<p>Anyways, I think it’s a slight reach. Your GPA and SAT are fine for UMich, but you didn’t really seem to challenge your self. The admissions officer I talked to told us that your course selections in high school is extremely important.</p>

<p>wait whoops… i read the weighted gpa as the michigan gpa. </p>

<p>slight reach</p>

<p>I did help myself by meeting with a professor so I hope that boosts my chances a little. What is the weakest part about my resume that makes Michigan a reach?</p>

<p>^
actually it won’t help at all.</p>

<p>It’s the GPA that is kinda low</p>

<p>Wow Im rally surprised to hear that meeting with a professor and making a lot of contacts doesnt help</p>

<p>Yeah, I doubt they’d even know you met with that professor, and if they did, they probably won’t care. I’d say the weakest part is your kinda-low GPA and your courses. 7 honors and 2 APs our of 60 total available sounds like you didn’t really challenge yourself, and the admissions officer I spoke to pretty much said your high school courses are extremely important.</p>

<p>Yeah well i mean I dont know if there are 60 but if you still do not believe I didnt challenge myself after looking at my schedule then I will understand
Freshmen Year- English, Honors Geometry, LatinI, World History, Honors Biology
Sophomore- EnglishII, Honors US History, LatinII, Honors Chemistry, Algebra II
Junior- EnglishIII, Honors LatinIII, Honors Contempt, You and the Law, Precalc, Honors Physics
Senior year (will have these classes)- Honors LatinIV, English IV, Honors Calc, AP Art History, AP Environmental</p>

<p>It doesn’t matter what I think anyways, it matters what your counselor thinks, and what s/he marks on your recommendation form. I’ve taken 4 AP classes and only 3 are offered at my school (long story) so I should be OK. Hopefully you’re in a similar position and your counselor will also mark that you have a very rigorous schedule.</p>

<p>I don’t see how your GPA is “low” Average GPA for LSA is a 3.8, but I still think you are a match. Your SAT falls within the middle 50% range. I also think your courses are good, not the hardest, but not the easiest. Are you out of state? or in state? If you are in state then you have a good chance, but if you are out of state then it would be a slight reach…</p>

<p>O ok I didnt realize how big that recomendation letter is. Thanks. I am out of state by the way so I figure it is a slight reach</p>

<p>Entertainer… umich gpa is a 3.7 for OP (not a 3.8)</p>
