<p>A couple of questions would be:</p>
<p>1) Is your 3.9 gpa unweighted?
2) What is the difficulty of your courses taken? (i.e.-any ap courses and A’s in the most difficult courses?)
3) How is your high school is ranked academically? Do they send many students to Michigan and are highly regarded?</p>
<p>The SAT score is on the low end BUT if you have done well in difficult courses from a highly ranked high school you will have a good chance.</p>
<p>Yes 3.9 is unwieghted with about 5 aps and school is top in the region and I believe a lot from his school are applying especially like the toppers and he is the top 20% of his grade out of 302</p>

<p>Where are you posting from at 3 in the morning? North America?</p>
<p>If not, the chance odds are longer - eg. only 6% of admits are internationals, so the SAT score might carry more influence in that case. The next most competitive group is Out of State.</p>
<p>UMich usually likes to see applicants in the top 10% of the class. If your student has a 3.9% unweighted average and yet is top 20% of class, then that school is suspect for grade inflation, which will not help your cause.</p>
<p>In general, unless there are challenging circumstances that test the applicant’s metal and to which sometimes the school will make exceptions, UMich would likely like to see a stronger standardized score, as its correlation helps define possible grade inflation or lack of rigor of the school. </p>
<p>But it is most concerned with actual GPA and performance, so in that sense, your student would have a shot. But it really depends on all the other variables. This is kind of a fruitless endeavor, posting and bumping about chances, in truth.</p>
<p>The post was at 3 am beacuse my school was closed the next day due to the hurricanb. I live in New York. The unweighted is 92.1 or something like that with 5 aps. I mean he knows he does not have that great of a chance but still. I wanted to know. Also can someone tell me whether having parents studied in a different country for college affects the admission process. The 3.9 GPA is not calculated by school, I just did it with a friend. Thanks</p>

<p>I think it’s a good chance if his essays are good. What’s a 1200 compare to on the ACT scale?</p>
<p>26 or something like that</p>

<p>I know kids who got in with a score around or less than that and a lower gpa. They were in-state though, not sure how much that affects chances. What I’m saying is if his essays and recommendations are good, he should have a good chance.</p>
<p>Yeah the essays o thought were pretty good and the recommendations one was from an English teacher who taught him for 4years and he is also in clubs with and an other junior ap teacher and a counsellor who knows is well</p>

<p>That is the link to the common data set. No one can ‘tell you’ what your chances are because UofM admits on a holistic basis. So bumping and bumping probably isn’t going to get you much more information. As long as you’re in range with ACT and with unweighted GPA and have taken appropriate high school classwork you have as good a chance as the next guy or gal with a similar application. Out of state and international is more competitive than in-state so take that into consideration when you look at the common data set. Michigan admits alittle less than 3x the number of kids that accept because kids either get accepted to colleges they would rather attend or they don’t enroll because they can’t afford it. Good luck with your applications.</p>
