<p>Hey guys, I got deferred :frowning: , however good news is that my 1st semester gpa is likely to be 3.95 and I have a 32 act now. What do you think?</p>

<p>The rising GPA is definitely a plus, since UofM likes GPAs of 3.8 or higher.
Also, its good that you retook the ACT b/c UofM does affirmative action against Asians, so u wud want an ACT above a 30.
And finally, I believe your biggest plus is ur ec’s. Idk abt ur essays since i haven’t read them, but i will take ur word that they r rly good. But, I wud still say ur ec’s r pretty strong. Try to earn something major in ur ec’s in these few months (like maybe win an award at MUN).
I actually believe ur injury wud be a positive thing towards ur app b/c it cud show how u overcome adversity, which u definitely did based on ur rising grades and scores.
Anyways good luck!</p>
