<p>Applying to U-Mich College of Engineering - most likely EECS - im trying to get the app in by mid-dec...else it'll be in by late jan</p>

<p>School: New magnetesque hs in NJ - 2nd graduating class</p>

<p>SAT: 730m610cr - 1340
(retaking in Dec...expecting >760 in m, >670 cr - 1430)</p>

<p>GPA: 4.0 UW U-Mich GPA - (my school uses QPA and gives out percentages - my final grades for all my classes in 10th & 11th were >90%) - most rigorous courses</p>

<p>Recs: should be awesome...didn't read them, but both teachers absolutely love me. My gc red should be decent.</p>

<p>mich is easy, ull get in with either SAT score.</p>

<p>^ Are you sure? I thought Mich was a reach for me. My SAT verbal score is very low, especially for an OOS student. Aren't OOS Sat scores extremely high? Isn't the COE difficult to get into?</p>

4

<p>Look at your cum score. I think it's high enough. Obviously, applying earlier would have helped....</p>

5

<p>should get in. Mich puts a ton more weight on GPA than they do on SATs.</p>

6

<p>I would say you're a match....your gpa is good and your sat...while not spectacular is also decent...the thing thats really holding you back is applying that late in the decision cycle...oos admissions for engineering are competitive...and with michigan doing rolling admissions....there possibly will be few spots left come january...</p>

<p>Mich is easy?---Don't listen to that advice.</p>

<p>Mich is probably a match for you. Your SAT is a bit low for OOS, but not by much. GPA is great.</p>

<p>Mich is not a reach for you, but get your apps in ASAP</p>

<p>Thanks for the tip. I guess UMich is an even match for me for COE. I'm going to try to get my application done by 12/15. </p>

<p>How many students do they accept each year for engineering? How many spots would be available if they get my application in mid December?</p>

<p>Thanks for your advice.</p>
