<p>I would like to know if me applying to UMich is reasonable(School of Engineering).
I have an SAT score of 1860(M-650 R-580 W-630) and an ACT score of 27(M-31 R-30). My extracurriculars are track(indoor/outdoor)(varsity) and cross country(varsity) all four years, club basketball, National Honors Society, chairman of toys for tots program at my school, and many volunteer activities(not gonna post them but they reach on to a second page on my resume, so quite extensive).
My GPA is 3.8 at this time, which puts me in the top 30% of my class(a national blue ribbon school)
Good teacher recs(AP Comp Sci and Honors Digital Electronics teachers)
Good essays(checked over by many people)
I will graduate with 8 AP classes(AP diploma) and 15 Honors classes
Tell me if I missed and important info, but I was thinking that my EC's could and strength of schedule could pull up the low SAT(didn't study which was stupid of me) and relatively low GPA.
I am out of state btw(Maryland), but I was just basically asking if there was even the slightest chance for admission, where paying for it would be a different story.</p>
<p>Probably not for out of state.</p>
<p>If it were me, I would apply. That being said, it is definitely a long shot because you have a below average SAT, GPA, and you’re out of state. The course rigor and extracurriculars should help make up for that, but I doubt it will be enough. Good luck.</p>
<p>I think they’d consider your sat score and not act as % wise I believe it’s higher but u can check. Why didn’t u study for sat makes me question u overall? You spend 4 years in class on your PGA and these test scores are just as important if not more so. A little unfair perhaps but that’s the way it is. Hopefully your essays rock roll. Where else u applying?</p>
<p>Yes, I realize not studying was bad, I was just always under the impression that the SAT’s were not very hard, but more of a race against the clock with quick thinking. But I have also applied to University of Maryland, University of Wisconsin-Madison, Penn State, Virginia Tech, and University of South Carolina.</p>
<p>Gobluu I got in with very similar statistics. I’m pretty sure UM doesn’t consider class rank, because I wasn’t top 10% either. I had a worse GPA and a slightly better ACT and got in after being deferred, so there is hope! </p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
<p>Kyle, I’m curious if you were out of state or not. But I appreciate your post, saying that everyone here seems to have just looked at my GPA and SAT/ACT scores. While I realize those are important, I think that you must have had similar EC’s to mine that definitely boosted your chances, and will hopefully boost mine. Also, I would like to know if you actually go to U of M and what your major is. Thanks</p>
<p>I go to U of M, I’m a polysci major applying to Ross and on track to get in right now, in which case I’ll double major in international business/poly sci. I’m out of state from the DC area just like you actually (I’m assuming you’re in a Maryland suburb). ECs in high school were pretty good but not as good as yours. My ACT was a 30 but my GPA was a 3.6 in HS, and I went to a relatively uncompetitive public school. </p>
<p>I applied to similar level colleges as you did actually. Michigan was the last school I applied to because I assumed I wouldn’t get into anything at that tier. Ohio State was my first choice back in the day, with BU and Virginia Tech on my list as well. Your list actually fits you very well, and any of those school would be great (I’d recommend Wisconsin of your list right now if you don’t get into UM, their science program is excellent). If you have any other questions let me know.</p>
<p>It’s good to see that you got in, as it might mean that I stand a slight chance of getting in. But Michigan is that one reach school that I am applying to, as I’m confident in my ability to get into my other schools listed. I know Wisconsin does not make decisions based on what your listed major is, but I’m not too sure about Michigan. I’m also a little curious of how you dealt with paying for college, as it will be relevant to anywhere I go, as I really want to go out of state right now.</p>
<p>I hate to be that guy, the bearer of bad news, but I thought you should know that UMich has rolling admission, so they consider your application when you submit it. They don’t wait for whatever the deadline says on commonapp to review them all. When i toured UM I talked to an admissions counselor and they said the sooner you apply the better, because as they admit people there will be less admitted spots to fill with new applicants. This makes them a bit harsher as they approach the limit. just an fyi</p>
<p>Rowan I’m not sure that would change his chances. I was admitted on April 17th (the last day they announced last year), with below average numbers for out of state. I would like if Alexandre would comment on that because he probably understands it better than I do.</p>
<p>Kyle. You were admitted in April. I’m talking about when you apply. They stressed applying as early as possible to give yourself the best chance to be admitted</p>
