<p>I was wondering if UMich still does their "Michigan GPA calculation," and also how much do they look at weighted GPA. My stats are as follows, if you could tell me what you think given my info It'd be very appreciated.</p>
<p>GPA (UW): 3.4
GPA (W): 4.2
ACT: 32
Course Load: Pretty heavy, APs (7) and 4 honors classes.
Recs: Probably will be good, teachers I plan to get them from like me a lot.
ECs: Lots, did track and field for 4 years, made captain.
Additional info: I live in Michigan, had a summer job as a bus boy, did many hours of CC (50+), 4 relatives went to U of M.</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>“After careful consideration, the University of Michigan will no longer recalculate grade point averages for freshman and transfer applicants to the University. For the evaluation of our entire Fall, Winter, Spring and Summer 2010 applicant pools, we will utilize the cumulative grade point average posted on the student’s high school transcript, for freshman applicants or college transcript, for transfer applicants. This policy applies to all freshman and transfer applications processed by the Office of Undergraduate Admissions.”</p>
<p>I think this answers your first question.</p>
<p>Ah, thank you. Any one familiar with how much they care about weighted GPA? I feel like my UW is killing my stats and if they don’t even consider weighted I’m probably not gonna get in.</p>
<p>I can’t really tell anymore, but I don’t think they’ll consider your weighted directly, but look at you’re unweighted and at your schedule. If you took 12 APs or something, they’ll definitely take that into consideration.</p>
<p>Hey UMich22, don’t count yourself out just because of your 3.4 GPA. I got in with a 3.5. It sounds like you had a challenging courseload, so I’m sure that will work in your favor. Good luck.</p>
<p>I know someone who got in last year with a 3.4, with a really hard courseload. It could definitely happen, but it’s difficult. I’m not sure how much a higher weighted GPA helps since every school calculates them differently. But don’t give up, you definitely have a chance.</p>
