<p>early action/response deadline (i think) is november 15. i dont think it could be that bad to apply by october 15</p>
<p>Early Response deadline is Nov 1 this year. Sending in your application by Oct 15 is fine but you need to make sure everything else (test score, transcript, recommendations) do come in before the deadline.</p>

<p>I like your chances mgc. You have maintained a good GPA despite taking a challenging courseload and your class rank is solid. Your ACT is not great, but Michigan does not weigh standardized scores too heavily. Try improving it by a couple of points, but don't sweat it.</p>

<p>neelyboy: to calculate UM unweighted GPA, only count 10th and 11th grade, all As/A-/A+s are a 4.0, all Bs/B-/B+s are a 3.0, and so on. Take off any extra points you get for honors and a.p., too.</p>
<p>ro2009: pretty sure you're in (GPA is a little low) but great ACT and A.P.s</p>
<p>scott2009: your chances look really good</p>
<p>k so my UM GPA would be 3.97, since i got straight a's with 6 classes each semester sophomore year, then 5 a's 1 b first sem. junior year, 4 a's 2 b's second sem. junior year. 24+24+23+22/96 = 93/96 = 3.97, right? and let me know my chances if you can.</p>
<p>
[quote]
93/96 = 3.97
[/quote]
Really? Do it again.</p>
<p>Here's the umich scale I posted a while back</p>
<p>make sure you only calculate academic courses</p>
<p>EDIT:
neelyboy: Your gpa would be 93/12 which is 3.875. Its not bad, assuming you counted only academic courses (an A in home ec. doesn't count)</p>
<p>neelyboy, so what is your gpa? I'm confused from all these posts.</p>
<p>I think people are making it look harder than what it really is. My school isnt really big and we have about 5-10 people each year going to michigan. We had like people with 24 act that got admitted.</p>
<p>i have a question about um's SAT score. their average mid 50% SAT is like 1220-1300(CR and M) out of 1600. do they just look at CR and M's composite score or do they look at each individual score? for example, if i score 800 on M but only 450 on CR, what would they consider this?</p>

<p>psp: They generally look at the overall composite (out of 2400), unless you are applying for something like engineering, in which case they will look at your math score more deeply.</p>
