<p>GPA: Weighted ~4.5
Non Weighted ~3.8</p>
<p>SAT: took it twice, highest score is 1980, I plan to study like heck for my 3rd try
ACT: I plan on taking ACT to see if that test is more for me</p>
<p>SAT IIs: I plan to take Math Level 2, US History, and Physics
Rank: Top 3 percent.</p>
<p>Completed/Currently enrolled AP courses: Euro History, Chemistry, Art History (Independent Study), Physics B, US History, Calculus BC, AP Lang and Comp</p>
<p>Senior Year (already planned) AP courses: US Gov, Comparative Gov, English Lit, French 4, Physics c, Prob and Stat</p>
<p>** I also hope to take courses at my local community college (Linear Algebra and Differential Calculus). I don't know if this will also look better on my application. Hopefully it can make up for my lack of EC activities **</p>
<p>I think my weakest areas are SAT score and community service/extra curricular activities.
I just really want to know if I've positioned myself in a good spot or in a bad spot and what University of Michigan really focuses on. </p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>bump…</p>
<p>out of state, also.</p>
<p>What’s your SAT score breakdown? Right now it’s looking like a reach.</p>
<p>I would say slight reach to match. But yeah, what is your SAT breakdown?</p>
<p>i think u’re a match. Dig around for general advices.</p>
<p>?</p>
<p>What is it about this guy that makes him a reach, and all the countless other OOS students with a 3.8, 2000ish SAT with fewer APs a match? The lack of meaningless ECs and volunteering at businesses or something?</p>
<p>I’m not going to chance you, but I think you do have a good chance. It’s hard to say, since the admissions breakdown is going to change dramatically now that they aren’t recalculating grades, and that they’re going on the common application, but I think you’re pretty decent.</p>
<p>I got into engineering for this coming fall with a 3.6 unweighted and 4.1 weighted with 1980 on SAT, so I’d say u would most likely get in.</p>
<p>he has solid GPA, which is good, but he’s an out of state applicant, so saying that “most likely” he’ll get in is slightly pushing it. He has a good chance to get in, however.</p>
<p>What does University of Michigan mainly focus on, especially for a Out of state applicant?
690 Math
670 Writing
620 CR</p>
<p>GPA and course load are generally considered more so at Michigan than other universities, and test scores less.</p>
<p>hmmm that sounds good since I think GPA and course load are my strongest aspects, especially if I take extra courses at community colleges</p>
