<p>Please chance me for U of Michigan's B school. </p>
<p>I am well aware my stats are not that strong, therefore Michigan is my reach school. I am just wondering if I stand a chance.</p>
<p>Senior in private Hs in FL
No class rank at my school
I am a male Asian.
GPA- 3.42 uw 3.91 w</p>
<p>Sats: (working on higher scores) 650 m 600 cr 590 w
1250/1600 1840/2400</p>
<p>I realize these are pretty low scores and I have consistently been doing practice tests so I expect a 1920/2400 1320/1600 on the next test but obviously this is not assured.</p>
<p>Courses: all honors, 7 aps, 2 duel enrollments</p>
<p>Sr Schedule: (5 Aps senior year) (4 years of spanish)
AP Calc AB,
AP Lit,
AP Bio,
AP Art History,
AP Gov
Spanish IV</p>
<p>ECS
-2 years football
-2 years varsity lacrosse( lettered)
-1 year track and field
-60 volunteer hours (will have 100 by the end of sr year due to requirements)
-Key club, Student gov, Ecology club, Life club, Helping Hands club, Think Pink
-4 years apart of local catholic youth group
-helped with local Filipino cultural group at local filipino festival to raise money for Philippines</p>
<p>I’m sorry, but even if you have stellar recommendations and essays, U-M is reach.</p>
<p>Ross, specifically, is even more of a reach. </p>
<p>It’s a different story if you are an under-represented URM (i.e Native American) or your parents have donated tons of money to U-M.</p>
<p>Yeah it’s fine I realize that. But do you know a certain Sat score that would significantly help my chances?</p>
<p>I think for Umich, GPA > Test scores. A high score won’t necessarily boost your chances, but a low score will hurt you.</p>
<p>tampakm- This is what I tell everyone with your statistics who seeks reassurance from strangers on CC: get above a 2300 and plead. Tell them you’re a changed man who finally has his priorities straight, and that your high school performance was truly unfortunate. Explain to them that you were ambitious with your course load, but were overwhelmed, and in the end just gave up. Assert that your grades are the result of lack of effort, rather than lack of intelligence, and that you will work your butt off if given the opportunity to attend U-M. And obviously make sure you get straight A’s in rigorous classes your senior year and have a counselor vouch for your enlightenment. </p>
<p>Your first three years’ damage is irreversible, but it definitely won’t hurt your chances to portray yourself as someone who has realized the errors of his past ways. I know that I provided you with more than you asked, but like Infinit said, a 3.42 and a 2400 won’t get you in next year. This is not say that your pleading will get you in, but it will depict maturity.</p>
<p>Good luck, I hope you get in!</p>
