<p>I would like to go to U of M for science possibly engineering. I am a rising junior and last year I got a 31 ACT and I have a 4.0 uw. Took an unusually hard class load for my school. We don't rank but if we did I'd be top 5 percent for sure. Lots of volunteer work with autistic children, swimming for 3 years, NHS cum laude award in progress, been in girl scouts since first grade and I am working on my gold award. I am a self taught guitarist in a band. I do school league floor hockey for four years. Various awards from my school. I go to school in Michigan, one that sends a good quater of graduating class to U of M. I did a summer camp at MSU cyclotron too. Would U of M be considered a safety or a match for me?</p>
<p>match imo (10char)</p>
<p>You’ll get in easy. Id admit u just based on floor hockey</p>
<p>safety, michigan has like a 50% acceptance rate</p>
<p>apply to another safety too just in case though</p>
<p>Match,
your ACT is too low to be a safety
and even though it has a “50%” acceptance rate, it is a public university and only like half of those kids actually end up attending</p>
<p>Other than the “you should never consider a top XX school a safety” issue, you can probably consider it one. If you’re really worried you can apply somewhere else too, but you’re likely to get in.</p>
<p>Umm, what does its yield have to do with whether it’s a safety or match, wolverinewhiz? The point is they accept 50% of applicants, and he has a 4.0 GPA with a 31 ACT, well above the average accepted applicant. People that are saying it’s a match view Michigan’s selectivity too highly.</p>
<p>^A 31 ACT is merely average for Engineering.</p>
<p>And keep in mind that that 31 is from 10th grade, the first ad only time I’ve taken it.</p>
<p>I was assuming LSA, but he did say possibly engineering. I would say LSA = safety, engineering = match for you.</p>
<p>Well I know plenty of kids who have been rejected with 3.9/4.0s and with 33 ACTs and many ECs so I would never actually say a school is a safety for anyone. You never know what the admissions office is going to do.</p>
<p>Plenty of kids rejected with 3.9-4.0’s with 33’s and many EC’s? -_-</p>
<p>you’re in, don’t sweat it. just right decent essays and you’re in.</p>
<p>Well you always do better the second time you take the ACT. What was you math score, that can be important too.</p>
<p>33 on the math</p>
<p>Safety 10chr</p>
<p>"Plenty of kids rejected with 3.9-4.0’s with 33’s and many EC’s? -_- "
I can count more than 10 just from my school which is a top 5 public high school in Michigan</p>
<p>That’s weird because my school isn’t top five, but we did get a silver medal, whatever that counts for, still a little less than a quater of the ha class of 2010 went to U of M. I am within the top five percent of my class, I would estimate because we don’t rank. Then again, I am under he impression that my school has a close relationship with U of M as far as how well they know the strength if our cirriculum, from what the GCs say at least.</p>
<p>^^Just curious, how many kids in your graduating class IsaacM?</p>
<p>Not more than 300. maybe 250</p>
