Since UMich is instate, living in Michigan does greatly increase your chances of getting in. I would suggest that you only submit your ACT score, as I believe it translates to a 1530 on the SAT (much better than your actual SAT). You’re also a pretty well rounded student, so AdCom can easily see that. 50 hours of volunteer service may feel like a lot, when in reality, there are students applying with over 400 hours. Prepscholar says your chances are about 50%, I’d say you can add about 10-20% for being instate.
You’ve got this in the bag.
Huron is one of the top feeder schools. Can you recalculate your uwGPA without subgrades? Your GPA may get you deferred from EA, although your ACT score is good. How is your Math section score? It looks like a high match to you.
