<p>Like I said I applied early since my ACT is below their average, but I think that is my only downfall. I just want to get a feel for what to expect in that envelope.</p>

<p>Thanksssss</p>

<p>You applied early and they made a fairly quick decision. Average GPA, low ACT, but excellent ECs. You should be fine :). They tend to focus on GPA rather than test scores. Best of luck!</p>

<p>^
Thats odd, last time I’ve heard the exact opposite from another poster stating that the school focus more on ACT/SAT than a students GPA.</p>

<p>OP, your ACT is below their average but you also have applied early, if your in-state I think your chances are well but not significant.</p>

<p>^ Hmm, I’ve always heard that MSU focuses on GPA + course rigor and UMich on ACT. I guess no one will ever know for sure. But since his/her ACT is below, GPA is fine, and ECs are really nice + applied early, I’d be surprised if he/she was rejected.</p>

<p>OP, if by some chance you get deffered, I would recommend taking the SAT. Some people do much better on one than the other.</p>
