<p>I was just wondering how important extra curriculars and leadership is in the admissions process at the University of Michigan</p>
<p>Just do what you truly enjoy doing as with any school. Don't kill yourself by overloading on extracurriculars, as with any school. Michigan doesn't care that much about ECs, because the admission process is primarily number-based, so your GPA and test scores are much more important.</p>
<p>ECs can play a large role for borderline students. Just do what you like, but do something. don't just sit at home all day. and it's always quality over quantity.</p>
<p>alright, thanks bc my gpa and class rank are towards the low end, but my SAT and extra curriculars are my strength</p>
<p>I definitely did not get in due to my GPA (3.66- my UM GPA was alot lower), it was all my ECs and my essays. (I also got a 30 on my ACT, so I thought that was good too)</p>
<p>Which college did you apply to?</p>
