<p>How competitive is it for OOS to be admitted. My daughter recently applied and we just have no idea if she even has a chance at Michigan.</p>
<p>Her stats</p>
<p>top 8% of her class
3.98 unweighted GPA
31 ACT
1940 SAT
4 years dance/drill team
NHS and a couple of other clubs</p>
<p>Is Michigan too much of a reach for her?</p>
<p>She’ll be fine.</p>
<p>What school is she applying to at Michigan?</p>
<p>How difficult was her course load?</p>
<p>She certainly has a chance.</p>
<p>It’s not so hard to get in OOS.</p>
<p>I have seen stats from a top New York City high school</p>
<p>About 1/2 got in.</p>
<p>Floridadad: with all due respect, you have been around these parts since only last year…while the OP has a very good chance, the only reason the “top NYC HS” 50% of the class were admitted it because UMIch wants full pay OOS kids since the financial meltdown…</p>
<p>You cannot generalize that it’s not so hard to get in OOS…unless you are a UMich admissions officer…</p>
<p>Look at the results from 2008-2010…on CC…many very high stats OOS kids were not accepted…</p>
<p>Sorry to go off topic, but someone posted an article on here last week saying that Michigan will still maintain need-blind admissions. But on the supplement it asks for income so that contradicts it to an extent? Are my OOS chances improved b/c I don’t need any FA and dad makes over 200k?</p>
<p>Well it certainly doesn’t hurt ur chances. </p>
<p>Umich is also supposed to not have AA, but I still needed to state my gender, race, ethnicity, etc.</p>
<p>Fact is its harder to get into umich OOS as opposed to IS</p>
<p>rushedmom, No I do not think UMich is too much of a reach for your D, although it is a slight reach. She has a decent chance for acceptance and there’s also a chance that she may not be accepted. Her ACT is the better score of the two and hopefully that’s the one she sent. It’s not only harder for OOS students to get accepted, it’s harder for OOS families to pay for it!:(</p>
<p>If your daughter has the course rigor to match the 3.98, she will get in absent any red flags in the essays and recommendations. ACT 31 is fine. I would not retake.</p>
<p>Thanks for all the feedback…
She has taken almost all pre/ap classes and is at a pretty competetive HS.
She sent both test scores and had good essays.
She is applying to Ann Arbor…
How long does it take to find out an answer?</p>
<p>Oh and she is applying for Accounting</p>
<p>If you apply by November 1 you get a response by December 23. You probably won’t hear much sooner than that.</p>
<p>Accounting is in the Ross School. You can’t apply to that out of high school but there is a pre-admit program for a limited number of applicants.</p>
