I’m a senior. I lived in Michigan for 16 years but in the eleventh grade I moved to Italy for my last two years of high school and will graduate from an international school in Italy. We still have a house in Michigan so I’m technically an in-state applicant at the University of Michigan.
gpa: 3.8

Owning property in Michigan does not make you a resident. Do your parents pay Michigan income taxes? Are either of you parents moving back to Michigan? You should check the residency requirements for in-state, but there are exceptions for military families and some others.
Is your GPA weighed or unweighed? The 27 on the ACT will pinch, but with a 3.8 unweighed GPA, you have a shot. On the other hand, if the GPA is weighed, I would say the chances of getting in are very slim.
@amk123 you definitely have a good chance. Put a lot of time into your essays. I am a freshman here at the univeristy of michigan and graduated from an international school. I took all IB courses as well. I had a 28 ACT but my twin had a lower score than you and I and we were both accepted last year. Just make sure your essays are strong.
