<p>i love michigan and really want to go there (either to the Honors Program at the LSA or Ross Business School). however, i am also practically, financially minded. i got a 2380 on the SAT and have a 3.7 GPA (at a top private high school) and believe i can get a merit scholarship at other schools (although i really would prefer to go to michigan). would i be able to get a large merit scholarship from michigan as an out of stater?</p>
<p>merit scholarships at umich are very unpredictable.
i had a 33 and 3.96 with ECs and got nothing although i will be in the honors program</p>
<p>Just apply to Michigan and find out. I don't understand why you're in a dilemma because you don't lose anything by applying, unless $40 and a couple essays are enough to give you second thoughts.</p>
