<p>Well, I maybe too late in thinking about applying to Umich(LSA) but there is nothing wrong in giving this thread a shot. Here is my mini resume:</p>
<p>Asian female (from a small town in pakistan)

SAT 2- M1-800, M2-800, Physics-770
TOEFL-111</p>
<p>Major: Economics for sure.</p>
<p>My school rarely sends any students abroad each year. I am the only one applying this year.
Rank: 1
O-Levels: 8As (7 on 95% +, among top achievers in school n region)
AS-Level- 4As

<p>I wont be needing any sort of scholarship.</p>
<p>I am unable to meet the high school curriculum requirements of Umich. I have studied social sciences and mathematics throughout my O- and A-Levels. Lab sciences are a problem but I studied physics from scratch exclusively for SATs. I talked to the int'l admission officer at Umich and he seemed fine with it but still I am concerned. My school gives the students a choice to either go for social sciences or lab sciences not a combination of two. Foreign languages are not offered by the school too.</p>
<p>Please peruse this thread and share your opinions with me that should I apply to Umich. Will it be worth spending $40-55 on its application?</p>
<p>Yes I think it’s def. worth it. It’s unfortunate you didn’t apply ER because you would have had a VERY good shot at getting in. But you have some good stats and you are unique, so I’d apply if I were you.</p>
<p>I think it is worth it… because as ckl said, you are unique. but then again, I think I’d attach some note saying why you couldnt take lab sciences and languages. Just to make sure you know… because its not ur fault not taking the courses… just write a quick note and send along with the rest of ur app. Otherwise ur scores look good. esp. physics… good luck!</p>
<p>your stats look excellent. once again, though, if you had applied ER, then you’d had a really really high chance of getting in. but since you’re doing regular, i think you still have a good enough shot. good luck!</p>
<p>Thanks every1. My parents are willing to finance my education though it would be quite a burden. My school has a vast network within the country as well as the continent. By the way, how long would it take regular score reports to reach umich considering it does not process rushed ones quicker?</p>
<p>i think u have a GREAT chance. even if you’re a little late. it’s def worth it. ur situation is really unique too, they’ll like that. u should also look at some colleges that would give u money even if you’re not a citizen or PR. ur stats r def enough to get into some prestigious universities and colleges.</p>
<p>Thanks jestergrl. Well, i have already applied to 9 private universities. I wanted to apply to a public uni as its expenses are relatively low. My list includes Upenn, Cornell, Harvard, Wellesley, Smith, Bryn Mawr, Uchicago, Duke and Stanford.</p>
