<p>I’d say match for all three. Numbers 2 & 3 are a shoe in, Umich stats are lower but still within range and you are a well rounded applicant. I would say its very probable that you will be accepted.</p>

<p>Good luck.</p>

3

<p>I would absolutely agree. </p>

<p>Wayne and MSU, baring some crazy event, should be safeties for you. Your UMich stats are on the lower end, but I’ve seen people with much worse stats get in. I was accepted with a higher GPA and ACT than you, but you have WAYYYY more extracurrics than I do, so I’m sure that will account for something. They are looking for intelligent people with diverse experiences, and in my opinion, you fit the bill.</p>

<p>Hope the encouragement helped, and good luck! =]</p>

<p>GPA: 3.8UW, in-state… seriously?</p>

5

<p>Seriously what? Is that good or bad? lol, sorry.</p>

6

<p>well, i was trying to imply that you are obviously better off than other applicants (like me). Sorry i didn’t make myself clear, you are very likely to get in.</p>

7

<p>You are very borderline… I’d say slight reach</p>

8

<p>what makes you say that Sam? Michigan considers GPA a lot more than the ACT, plus his ACT score isn’t terrible… his ECs and location helps balance it out.</p>

9

<p>Yeah I know but his GPA is average and ACT is below average. It could definitely happen, and the legacy will help but I also wouldn’t be surprised if he gets deferred. It could go either way, Michigan can be unpredictable sometimes.</p>

10

<p>thats true, but he applied EA, so personally i think his chances are good</p>

11

<p>Yes I know, actually I meant to say high match, meaning less of a chance than match but higher than reach. It would also be helpful to know what classes he took/is taking.</p>

12

<p>Ash, what is your senior courseload and total number of APs taken?</p>

13

<p>AP calc, AP physics, forensic science, anatomy and physiology, marketing, and creative writing. </p>

<p>I also got a 4.11 last marking period, and that will probably be my semester grade too.</p>

14

<p>Also, this is the hardest workload I could have besides ap lit. My school sucks. LOL</p>

15

<p>You are in at MSU and Wayne State but you are probably not going to get into Michigan.</p>

16

<p>:( hopefully you are wrong. LOL. How is msus biochem program compared to umichs?</p>

17

<p>I hope I am wrong too! Did you retake the ACT. A 29 or 30 would really help your chances.</p>

18

<p>Nope and now I regret it. I was planning on going to a Christian college for a while so the 27 was fine.</p>

19

<p>Well, I got in!!! :)</p>

<p>I figured you would. A 3.8 UW average makes up for a lower ACT score. Congrats!</p>
