<p>How is Michigan's Sports Management major? Would it be easier for an OOS student to get into, especially one with lower GPA but fantastic SAT scores and good ECs. Also intrested in Communications or Business/Marketing Major, but I understand my stats are quite low for this.</p>

<p>Also,My GPA is mainly low because of a poor freshman year, with A GPA of about 2.8. Since then I have gone straight up. </p>

<p>I'm about a year and a half away from college apps, but my stats then should be something like this:</p>

<p>3.2 UW GPA,
classes:
AP Psych(junior year)
AP Gov(Senior year)
AP English (senior year)
Honors American Lit (sophomore year)
Honors Modern Fiction (Junior Year)
Honors US History II (Junior Year)
Honors Management-business ed. (Junior year)</p>

<p>Sats should be about 2100 total.</p>

<p>EC's:
Summer Camp Counselor for 3 Years
Volunteer at Local Library
Assistant Job at Local Real Estate agency
DECA Junior and Senior Years
HS Rec basketball freshman-senior year</p>

<p>Reccomendations should be good from Guidance Counselor, along with Favorite English and Favorite Math teacher.</p>

<p>Do I have a shot?</p>

<p>3.2 will be too low. You need to get that up. Michigan doesn’t take freshman grades into account for admissions though.</p>

<p>I had heard the Sports Management is easier to get into though. Is this true or just a myth?</p>

<p>Michigan does not ask for Freshman grades, so your GPA is probably closer to 3.4. That is still low, but not too low for admission. </p>

<p>As for Kinesiology being easier to get into, there is some truth to it (if you apply in September or October).</p>
