Hi everyone - I have now posted a few times on this forum about my situation. Based on your feedback, I was wondering if anyone knew my current chance of getting into the University of Michigan’s College of Engineering. I plan on majoring in chemical engineering. Here are my credentials:

-GPA Weighted: 4.056 (will raise due to APs)

-GPA Unweighted 4.00

-1400 SAT (740 Math and 660 Reading/Writing)

-class rank 2/775

-10 AP Classes (World History (4), US History (5), Chemistry (4), Language and Composition (3), Microeconomics (5), Macroeconomics (5), Literature and Composition, Physics C, Calculus AB, Biology)

-ECs include: NHS President (1 year going on 2), Link Crew (1 year), Model UN (3 years going on 4), Teen Court (2 years going on 3), First Hour Representative (1 year - basically student government for freshmen), NEXT YEAR I plan on doing National Art Honor Society and Debate as well.

-Work experience: I have worked on my school’s Technical Crew for 2 years now. I have been promoted to stage manager for senior year.

-Sports: JV Track and Field (1 year), Varisty Tennis (3 years)

-I also have 50+ hours of outside volunteering. Such events include co-teaching children with autism how to program using Lego Robotics

As a side note, I do plan on taking the SAT again. This was my second time taking it (first time I scored a 1310 - 710 Math and 600 Reading). Unfortunately, I will not be able to take the ACT of I want to apply for early acceptance which I am okay with. Also, for the AP classes, the classes without a score indicates I will be taking it senior year.
Thank you!!

Are you in or out of state? My daughter had similar stats, applied for chem e, and was wait listed (OOS). The school valedictorian with perfect scores and GPA was also wait listed. It’s competitive for sure but no harm in trying. If you are instate, the acceptance chances are much higher.

I am in fact instate

I think you’ll be competitive!

You’ll be pretty competitive just make sure you demonstrate interest and convey that you belong here

It’s getting tougher out there even for instate. Apply early but your sat should be higher if your able to. 1490 and higher just gives you a much better chance. Doing better in the math section will offset you taking Calc ab VS bc. I personally would take the act. Other schools like it and even though you won’t have the scores in time they will unofficially look at the scores. This can help to offset scores that are needed. You score a 34 or higher in a sub section… It will be noticed, even unofficially.

Also make your essay very personal and unique. I see your into theater and the arts plus engineering techniques with Autistic kids. Very cool.
