<p>Lets see if we can get in or not.</p>
<p>SAT 1990 (CR 660 W 640 M 690)
GPA - UW 3.25 ish
Applied to college of engineering
I'd say good reccomendations and essays but abviously the adcoms didn't think so.</p>
<p>Uniguy: Look at the CDS posted on the other thread.....
64% of students had UMGpa's of 3.75 and higher
approx. 24% had 3.5-3.74...and I can bet those were in-state candidates....
Below 3.5....you get the picture......</p>
<p>You were lucky to be waitlisted....</p>
<p>There were OOS students deferred back in December with 3.8UW...( and I can hazard a reasonable guess that they will also be waitlisted now)</p>
<p>and, yes, UMich cares primarily about GPA's despite reports to the contrary.....</p>

<p>3.63UW, 32ACT</p>
<p>LSA</p>
<p>wasn't really considering UM anymore, just curious to see my decision..so I'll probably be declining their offer for WL</p>
<p>waitlisted....
got thru UIUC /Vtech/Purdue....won't suffice to say I'm not happy....if we accept waitlist ....is it binding or summat???...does that mean we have to attend?...and end of june...what the hell?</p>
<p>and shld they not go easier on OOS since the tuition is higher????</p>
<p>I'm just the messenger..but the CDS doesn't lie....It is a long known fact that it is easier to be admitted to UMich from instate....UMich does not publish IS vs. OOS state data like UVa though.....It makes it look like a weird pattern of admissions; people deferred and waitlisted OOS at Michigan and accepted at top 20 schools.....(michigan: 47% admission rate v. top 20 schools: 25%)......</p>
<p>sherlock: You would think so, but not the case......</p>
