Michigan Chances

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>Hi, I am sure that this type of question is asked a lot so forgive me if I am boring anyone, but I am pretty curious. I want to apply to Michigan and I was wondering if someone could approximate the likelihood that my application would be considered "right in the thick of thigns". I know that nobody can tell me for certain whether I would or would not get into a school, but if someone could approximate for me the level of consideration I would receive from Umich Ann Arbor (low consideration, medium, high) with with the following:</p>

<p>Caucasian, White, Upper Middle Class, Suburban Baltimore, attending very prestigious/difficult inner city catholic college preparatory school. </p>

<p>3.75 GPA
700 Verbal
690 Math
700 Writing
AP US History 4
AP English 4
AP Gov 4
AP microeconomics 4
AP Euro History (senior year)
AP English Lit. and Comp (senior year)</p>

<p>This year (senior year) I will be taking introduction to calculus and Physics as well. There is a chance I might be able to take Honors Calculus, but for conservative estimates assume that I am only taking intro to calculus</p>

<p>Outside of School:
I did about 30 hours of service my junior year and a service trip this summer
I played on the tennis team and helped out with the basketball team (did not play)
Wrote for the school newspaper
National Honors Society
I have worked at a law firm for the last four summers</p>

<p>Please provide me with any suggestions and comments about my chances</p>

<p>Hey, hows it going</p>

<p>Your GPA looks fine and your SAT score is great, it shows your an all-around student. The only problem is that Michagan is one of those schools which accepts mostly In-state applicants, so you have that going against you. Dont get me wrong, you still have a chance, but it will be tougher. </p>

<p>As for your stats, they are solid, and you’ve taken a good amount of AP classes. On your appliction, try to make yourself stand out from other applications, maybe talk about your experience at a law firm in your essays…or something of that nature.</p>

<p>So you would give me a 50-50 shot where I can help increase my chances by improving on all the little things?</p>

<p>yea i’d guess it would be about 50/50 for you. Of course, i could be totally wrong…but thats my educated guess.</p>
