UMich doesn’t use weighted GPA. What is your unweighted GPA? What is your intended school at UMich (Ross, CoE, LSA, Nursing, Kinesiology, SMTD, etc.)?

The average uwGPA for the UMich Class of 2023 was 3.9. The 25/75 for the SAT was 1,380-1,540. So, you’re in the ball park, as they say. Competitive. But the OOS acceptance rate for the Class of 2022 was 19% overall.

All those schools will be reaches, with BU probably being your best shot.

Probably best chances are at Emory and BU. Also what is your potential major?

Try for another SAT 1 to get it to 1500+.
