I think my essays and recs were pretty good, my teachers like me and I’m a pretty good writer.
If there’s any more information you guys feel would help evaluate my chances, please tell me!
Michigan is one of my top choices, but being on the other side of the country has made it difficult for me to visit or demonstrate much interest… Chance me everyone!
Also, my highest SAT score in one sitting is 1490 (780 Math 710 Reading)
I sent both scores I think (the other was 1400, 730 reading 670 math)
Should I not have sent my first score of 1400 in?
UMich does not super score, but they will look for your best composite score. Lower section score from other test date would not hurt you. So it is fine to send both in. Ross is very competitive and it is an automatic reach for anyone. Good EC and interesting background usually help.
I guess my EC’s are not too bad, but I do have an interesting (at least from what I think) background. I left Korea when I was 9 and studied in Canada, Malaysia, and America–and I’ve gone through Korean, Canadian, British, Chinese, International, and American schools. Do you think this helps in any way?
It makes an interesting story if you articulated it in your essays
