<p>Before the common app, UMich would only in rare circumstances (or from certain schools) accept anyone with a GPA below 3.5 unweighted.</p>
<p>They have more applicants this year, and many of them are probably highly qualified.</p>
<p>Thus, it’s highly unlikely that you’ll be accepted based on your GPA and class rank. Further, they want to see that you succeeded at a rigorous curriculum, not just that you’ve attempted one.</p>
<p>Your ACT and your ECs will help, but I would advise against getting your hopes up.</p>
