<p>How will UMICH calculste their GPAs now for undergrad admission? What do you think the average GPA will be now? And how much will the application numbers rise in the next two years because of the use of the common app?</p>
<p>And also I’m out of state- how will this hurt my chances of getting into U of M?</p>
<p>Sorry for all the questions and happy mothers day.</p>
<p>i think they’re going to develop one of two systems.
A. Just leave applicants GPAs as they are, and look at the class and the grade received
B. Use their own system which will probably be like A+=4.333, A= 4, A-=3.6667 etc
Also, the new new average GPA will probably be a 3.8 or a 3.9 ish. Though, some schools are ridiculously weighted e.g. a Catholic school in my area gives 5 for an honors class and 5.3333 for an A+ in that honors class aka Honors English 9 which ridiculously boosts all of their students GPAs.
Though I’m not concerned because I’m in-state and UMich is my safety :)</p>
<p>Out of state always hurts like a ***** for public universities</p>
<p>Ya but how bad is it for UM- is there a quota or do they just tend to pick in staters more?</p>
<p>^^^
The admissions bar is substantially higher for OOS. Plus the costs are 3x times higher or so. Add in the almost complete lack of either merit or need FA and the differences are huge…IMHO.</p>
<p>patriotsfan UM has to admit at least 2/3 (or somewhere around there) of the class instate because it receives public funding.</p>
<p>^^^
um2014: Do you have a source or link for the 2/3 statement?</p>
<p>['U'</a>; officials: This year’s application numbers up | The Michigan Daily](<a href=“http://www.michigandaily.com/content/u-officials-say-number-applicants-has-increased]‘U’”>'U' officials: This year's application numbers up)</p>
<p>Both Coleman and Sullivan said they expect the traditional ratio of resident to non-resident students to remain constant for next years incoming class as well. Typically, two-thirds of admitted students are from Michigan, while one-third is from out-of-state.</p>
<p>I dont think theres going to be any change to the usual admissions formula, which is roughly two-thirds (in-state), one-third (out-of-state), adjusted for the yield because our yield is generally lower on non-resident students, Sullivan said.</p>
<p>Thanks for posting that</p>
<p>But will UM have their own way of weighting GPA or just go by what the HS says?</p>
