Chance Me / Match Me!

I am very interested in going to University of Michigan and it is probably my top choice. I’ve already been accepted to Indiana University for Business/ Finance. GPA 3.5 ACT 26 SAT 1750 Tons of EC’s in volunteering. EC’s are very different from Robotics Team to Business Clubs to Environmental.I have a great amount of Volunteer Hours. I have also interned at multiple law firms for about three years now.

My Recommendation letters, I’m sure are very strong. I’ve showed my essay to a good bunch of people and have heard great things about it.

I am retaking the ACT in the beginning of February and my school counselor has told me that it will be considered. Please let me know how I’m looking so far

Reach. You’re probably not going to get in. You are not competitive (even if you were an instate student) and a vast number of EC’s isn’t going to do you any good (quality over quantity!). Colleges can tell if you’re resume fluffing, in this case you probably are.

At this point I would say it is definitely too late for retaking the ACT to count. You would have wanted to have at least a 30 to have a decent shot.

Your GPA is also on the low end. The competitive applicant would want at least a 3.8 unweighted.
