<p>Is it the hardest school to get into? Anyone have acceptance rates etc..?</p>

2

<p>77% I have heard.....</p>

<p>That's only half of the picture. You should also know that:</p>

<p>Median HS GPA for Admitted Engineering Freshmen - 3.9
Median SAT for Admitted Engineering Freshmen - 1330</p>

<p>The 77% acceptance rate is misleading. It's harder to get into U-M Engineering. The application pool is self-selecting. The "weaker" applicants apply to LSA.</p>

<p>GoBlue is right. If you are a 4.0 (unweighed) student with a 1400+ on the SAT, your chances are excellent. But if you are a 3.5 student with a 1200 oin the SAT, your chances are next to nil.</p>

<p>Wow you know my GPA! I am a 3.5 student with a 2330 SAT (740CR/790W/800M).... Does the score make up for the low GPA?</p>

6

<p>And I have absolutely NO ECs that are technology/engineering related......Nothing fancy like research or whatever.... But I do have other ECs</p>

<p>If your 3.5 is unweighed and you take a tough course load, then yes, you have a very good chance of getting in. Your SAT is excellent.</p>

<p>my courseload isn't exactly HARDCORE EVERYTHING AP but few APs herre and there :O</p>

<p>also do they consider SAT IIs for admission?</p>

<p>Still, you have a good chance. Apply as soon as possible GoChris. And not, Michigan does not consider SAT IIs. You lose nothing by sending them, but from what I understand, SATIIs are not requested and therefore, not considered. Hoedown would not more about that.</p>
