<p>Is the LSA school any easier to get into than the others? what kind of SAT or ACT score should you have? particularly for out of staters. =\
it seems like a great school...</p>
<p>29-32 ACT or at least a 1950 on your SAT. GPA should be 3.7 or above but you can get in with less. LSA is easier to get into than kinesiology and about the same for engineering. Engineering you may need to be more qualified but there's a smaller applicant pool so I'd say it's about the same.</p>

<p>Also depends on in-state vs. out-of-state. I know people with 26/27s and ~3.75/4.0 who got in. They tended to apply earlier, though.</p>
<p>I think the difficulty is Business>Engineering>LSA>Kinesiology. Also, if you want a scholarship and your OOS, you have to have some stellar numbers.</p>
<p>k, so say you applied on the early side... would a high sat/act help with to balance out a low-ish gpa? if your junior year grades are way better than sophomore year grades would that help too? thanks.</p>
<p>Yes junior year better than sophomore year will definitely help. A low-ish GPA being a 3.5 or 3.6 with a 2100+ SAT should be enough to get you in if you apply by the beginning of October.</p>
<p>Submachine, I think you have it backwards.</p>
<p>A high ACT score will not do much with a low GPA (3.5), but a low ACT (26) with a high Umich GPA (3.8-4.0) will get you in.</p>
<p>There are lots of people that get in with low ACT scores that most people here could get while intoxicated, and high Umich GPAs because of easy schedules. For example, you take one AP class senior year and a few honors here and there in grades 9-11, and even though you have very little work, your Umich GPA is 4.0. You may not even be that bright, but with some clever tweaking of the system, it is possible to get in with little work.</p>
<p>won't the admissions people see their easy schedule and look down upon it?</p>
<p>Epsilon, I know that they weigh GPA more than SAT/ACT but the OP was asking if a high SAT/ACT with compensate for low-ish GPA and I gave him my opinion.</p>
<p>Those GPA stats are just completely ridiculous. More than a quarter of Michigan students never got a single B in high school?</p>
<p>Well it's only for the recalculated GPA. So really, 28% of those students had all A's in their academic courses (science, math, english, etc.) in 10th and 11th grade. Not that tough to accomplish, especially if you take no honors or AP/IB courses.</p>
<p>^ exactly.</p>
<p>Most people don't take tons of AP classes, if any.</p>
<p>Do any of you think 3-4 ap classes (2 latin, english, and calc) with 5-6 honors courses is below average courseload? Just wondering because I'm in the process of selecting my courses for senior year.</p>
<p>That's about right, I think that's what I'll be at by the time I graduate.</p>
<p>Below average on CC or in real life? lol</p>
<p>It depends on how many AP courses are being offered at your school, and what kind of workloads are carried by your classmates. All of these will be in your school profile.</p>
<p>LOL, UM still doesn't care much about courseload either way. UM acceptees from my in-state school range from kids who took 10+ AP's throughout all four years of high school to kids who are taking 1-2 AP's their senior year for the first time. Mostly the latter lol...</p>

</p>
<p>Most don't? Then how do so many of them earn AP credit?</p>
<p>Yeah, it kind of sucks for me that my school is getting two new ap's for next year, both of which I have no interest in...(art history and another I can't remember). I'm going to talk to guidance counselor and discuss whether it's worth suffering over an ap class I don't like (art history, physics, etc), or if I should compliment the ap's I do take with other more interesting classes like honors american history and honors comp sci.</p>
<p>It's not hard at all. Get a 28+ ACT with a solid GPA and you have a pretty solid chance (almost guaranteed if you apply early in the cycle.)</p>
<p>My high school absolutely sucked (but I had the advantage of living in a moderately wealthy area.) The school offered a good number of AP classes, but the academics were an absolute joke. My graduating class of 700 kids probably has about 40 at U-M, and no more than 2-3 of them would stand a chance for admission at this country's truly elite institutions (or U-M out-of-state)</p>
<p>My point is, if you are in-state, don't worry.</p>
