<p>so. i'm indian. i've been living in michigan for 9 yrs. we haven't quite received our green card/permanent resident status yet...we're expecting it in the next couple months. and so umich classifies me as a "non-resident".
i'm so disappointed. and mad. its unfair if THAT affects my chances of getting in.
i have amazing stats. valedictorian. 4.3. good act/sat. hardcore schedule. etc etc.<br>
i have the potential to go to an ivy league school. but if umich doesn't accept me just because i'm a "non-resident" .....i will be SO mad and disappointed ! </p>

<p>so who thinks they put a big weight on that? ( ..will they reject me just because of that? )</p>

<p>ur still probably giong to get in unless ur ACT/SAT score is dismal...which I doubt</p>

<p>Didn't you know? Michigan never accepts OOS valedictorians! Sorry about your chances . . .</p>

<p>Seriously, do you actually think being OOS will affect your chances that much? You seem to be very confident in your stats.</p>

<p>You will most likely still get in, but you probably will not get scholarship money.</p>

<p>Umich is selective for OOS, but you won't have a problem.</p>

<p>"Didn't you know? Michigan never accepts OOS valedictorians! Sorry about your chances . . ." -- jk, right? loL</p>

<p>um yeah. anyways.....thanks. that helped. i hope i get in. if i don't i have no idea what i would do. i'd rather not go out of state for undergrad, and if i don't get into umich i'd have to go to MSU..which is like i could have done nothing all of HS and still gotten in there.</p>

<p>I have a residency issue as well. I moved to Michigan less than three years ago and one parent is not a Michigan resident (not divorced or seperated). It gets worse, but I won't go into the details.</p>

<p>Unfortunately, my grades aren't nearly as good as yours, so I'm really worried.</p>

<p>you're a freakin valedictorian.
you'll get in. relax.</p>

<p>worry about money matters more than getting in. sheesh.</p>
