<p>OOS, no hook, good recommendations, and not sure about essays (one was kinda out there… I tried to be creative. and another was about a teacher from Ross that I had during a finance course on Coursera)</p>
<p>Senna4ever, a hook is not having a parent as an alumni or a sibling currently attending. If so, then there are 500,000 hooks walking around the planet and 40,000 hooks walking around campus. Having alumni status will get you a few points, but it is not a hook. Also a sibling currently attending is negligible. </p>
<p>A hook is something that astronomically improves your chances of being accepted.</p>
<p>You want to know what an actual hook is? Having your parents work at the University in an important position. That is why all the Ann Arbor highschools send more than 130+ kids a year.</p>

<p>@MJPJR12 : high match</p>
<p>@michael543212345 Sorry, you are mistaken. A hook is having exactly what I said it is, alumni family relationship.</p>
<p>Trust me I am a hook…and if it comes down to two equal individuals the hook gets in hands down!</p>
<p>@lifeonthecape average for CoE in general is a 32 act, so the average for oos is probably around a 33 act. GPA should be around a 3.9 or 4.0.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Is that really true?</p>
<p>Does anybody know how Michigan actually does the Gpa? Everybody has such a high Gpa but is that reweighed using some system and if some what kind</p>
<p>@Umnr21
Absolutely not!!!</p>
<p>yea this isnt a chance me thread</p>
<p>Senna, I can’t help if you if you are that blind, sorry. You are correct that the alumni kid would get in. That is not a hook however. That is a small advantage. A HOOK is something that SIGNIFICANTLY increases your chance of being accepted. Try googling it before making up definitions.

<p>I hope you do well against the other 500,000 hooks there are in the world according to your logic. </p>
<p>And no, I am a hook. Both my parents are professors at the University. There are plenty of alumni kids in my school with good stats that get rejected in the spring.</p>
<p>A - 4
B - 3
C - 2
D - 1
E - 0</p>
<p>UMich does not distinguish +/-'s I believe</p>
<p>I’ve been lurking this thread for a couple of weeks and thought I’d join in the fun haha</p>
<p>Anyone wanna chance me?</p>
<p>I go to a private school that usually sends 10-15 students to Michigan each year.</p>
<p>GPA: 4.0 Unweighted
ACT: 34 Composite and 10 Writing (35 English, 33 Math, 33 Reading, 35 Science)
Captain of XC Team and I was All-County Academic
NHS member. Over 70 hours of peer tutoring. About 100 hours of non-tutoring service. I received the Michigan Competitive Scholarship for my ACT score (not nearly as impressive as it sounds. Anyone with a ~30+ gets it)
FED Challenge Competitor. I take an exclusive banking course that I had to interview for. Through this course, I worked as a teller in an actual branch over the summer.
Global Trade Mission competitor (my team was one of the winners and I received a team unity award). </p>
<p>My Common App essay was great (have had multiple letters of admissions to other schools in which the officer commented on my essay)
Both supplemental essays were solid/good.
My 2 teacher recs and counselor recs are solid.</p>
<p>APs:
Sophomore year I took AP Euro (5)
Junior year I took AP Physics B (4) and AP US History (5)
Senior year I’m taking AP US Gov, AP English Comp., AP Physics C Mechanics, AP Calc AB, and AP Physics C Electricity&Magnetism</p>
<p>I applied to LSA with Ross preferred admission.</p>
