<p>Umich you’re probably ok…especially if you apply to engineering since you are a female…also if you apply to engineering you are more likely to get scholarships!</p>

<p>^ Not for oos. Also, ACT 32 is far from the threshold for scholarship. ACT 35 or above for a female student will be likely to get the Engineering scholarships at UMich.</p>
