<p>I am looking at applying here in the fall because of this school's excellent reputation in just about every major. I am looking into engineering, chemistry, biology, pre med, or psychology.</p>

<p>I am currently ranked in the top 8%, and will most likely graduate in the top 5%.
I go to a public school with roughly 600 in my class.
I currently have a 3.9 unweighted GPA, and a 4.25 weighted GPA.
I have taken 2 AP Courses (Government and Statistics) and am taking 5 next year: Chemistry, Physics-Mechanics, BC Calculus, Micro/Macro Economics, and English.
I currently have a 29 ACT. I have only taken it once, but I hope to raise it to a 30+ and I know I am capable of doing so. My Math score is a 31, Science 30, English 28, and Reading 27, and a 10 on my Essay. I am not so strong in Reading or English, but I do well writing. My SAT was not-so-high with an 1890 due to a low critical reading score (560). I had a 690 on math and 640 writing, thanks to the Essay helping my score.
I am varsity gymnastics, will be captain next year. I ran track two years, am Student Council Class VP, and was a Key Club Officer- Bulletin Editor Junior Year.
I have traveled the world. I have been to 25 countries/ 4/7 continents, which I think could help my case.</p>

<p>I apologize for such a lengthy description. Anyway, if anyone could let me know of my chances, it would be a great help, thanks!</p>

<p>If youre instate I would say match/low reach. If you are out of state I would say reach, get that ACT score up for better chance.</p>

<p>Id say low reach the only thing holding you back is your act get it up a point or 2 and your a match</p>

<p>You’re fine. Just make sure that your UW and W GPA stay up there/get higher. Be sure to get some really good recommendations and write some awesome essays. Fill your senior year schedule with rigorous courses as well. I got in with a 27 ACT so your 29 is fine and apply EA. Good luck!</p>

<p>Your GPA and course rigor are where they should be. If you can raise your ACT to 31, Michigan becomes a solid match. Apply EA.</p>

<p>Thanks for the feedback. I am out of state, but I do hope to raise my ACT substantially when I retake it in June!</p>
