<p>I am looking to apply to the University of Michigan in the fall. I do live in Michigan.</p>

<p>GPA Unweighted: 3.81
ACT: 30</p>

<p>Course Load: AP US History, AP Government, AP Economics, AP Calc, AP Biology, Honors Geometry,
Honors Algebra 2, and Honors Pre Calc</p>

<p>EC's: Varsity Soccer for 3 years (possibly captain senior year). High school baseball for 2 years. I have played both travel soccer and baseball competitively for 10 years. Will be in NHS for two years, Spanish Club for 2 years. I have done a community service project in Detroit (probably around 50 hours)</p>

<p>What are my chances?</p>

<p>jmw- I just looked at a Scattergram for UM for my D’s school. It looks like just looking at scores and gpa at about a gpa of 3.9 and ACT of 31 admission is about 50%. It is a HS in Michigan also. It might depend somewhat on who you are competing with from your own school as they don’t want to take too many students from any one HS.
I personally don’t like the overemphasis on test scores, but are you planning to take the ACT again? A higher score might help. I would take this information with a very big grain of salt, it is so hard to predict. Good luck!</p>

<p>Thanks for responding! I do plan on taking the ACT again and will try to get a 31 or better. Hopefully in state helps me</p>

<p>What’s your HS’ success rate in the past been for UM admits? Your GC can best tell you. Is your HS one of the UM “feeder” high schools?</p>

<p>I don’t know if we’re considered a feeder high school but were one of the top high schools in the state, I think top ten</p>

<p>Here you go.</p>

<p>Yeah, my school is on this list. So does that help me?</p>

<p>It helps you in that your GC staff will have an excellent idea of your chances. Best of luck to you. Go Blue!</p>

<p>You have a very good shot. Your act and GPA are in the range and you are in state which helps. </p>

<p>You’re by no means a shoo-in, but I think your have a great chance of being accepted, especially in-state. Your course load looks rigorous, but I think you should definitely take the ACT again. I think you’re in.</p>

<p>Chance back?
