Michigan colleges chances?

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>Hi, I'm making this chance thread just to get a general idea my admission chances. I plan on applying to the University of Michigan and Michigan State University. I am in-state.
I am a Palestinian born in the West Bank and have lived in the USA for 15 years and I am a US citizen. I visit the West Bank every two years or so and I can speak another language besides English. Technically I'm not an URM because middle-eastern is considered white. I am a rising senior in highschool and have a 3.9 GPA unweighted. I go to a small school and am ranked 3 out of 103 kids in my class. Our school doesn't weigh GPA's and only offers two or three "advanced classes" which I took. I am taking the hardest classes next year which include Calculus, Physics, and English 121 and I'm also dual enrolled at the local community college. I got a 27 on my ACT and I plan on retaking it in September.</p>

<p>I've been on the Varsity Track team for three years. This is my second year in the National Honor Society where I have about 45+ volunteer hours (low, I know), I'm a Science Olympiad competitor where I took place in the Helicopter, and Design events, and I took sixth in state for a project I built in wood shop class. I attended Boys State where I served as Prosecuting Attorney and won all of my cases. What are my chances?</p>

<p>I would say MSU would definitely be a safety, as in, you’ll make it in easily. For UMich, it depends on where you apply, as in, LSA, COE, or Ross. I would get that ACT up to a 30-32 to be considered a good bet for UMich.</p>

<p>State is a safety for sure. If you get that ACT up to a 30, you’re most likely in Michigan but even with a 27, there is still a decent chance you can get in. I know someone who got in with a 3.72 and 28 but he did have a very big upward trend. You should be fine.</p>

<p>Shoe in for Michigan State University, and like the others said, just raise your ACT score for UMich.</p>
