Demographics: Indian-American Male, NY Resident

Intended Major: Mechanical/Aeronautical Engineering

Academics: 1410 SAT (780M 630R/W) 31 ACT (34E 33M 27R 30S), retaking SAT in November for 1500, 760 Math Level 2, 680 US History (should I submit this or not)

3.56 UW GPA largely due to bad freshman year, upward trend from there in math/science courses, tons of science/tech electives which brought down my GPA slightly due to difficulty/unfamiliarity, one counted for a college credit, I went directly from Algebra 2 to AP Calculus due to ability, upward grade trend though

5 APs (Calc AB, Stats, Macro, Gov, US History) 6 Honors (English 9 and 10, Global History 9 and 10, Algebra 2, Physics)

Extracurriculars: Research (Legit, LOR from professor), Robotics (9-12, the team has been very successful), 200+ Volunteering hours at STEM Camps/religious activities/community activities, Congressional Award Silver Certificate, internships at local engineering firms

Glowing LORs from math and science teachers.

Your below admission average GPA and test scores plus your OOS status make UMich CoE a rather high reach for you with admission chance lower than the average OOS admission rate. UMich does not require SAT2 but they will consider if you submit good scores. Upward trend in GPA is good, but you have a pretty big gap that it would very hard to overcome by other factors.

Are my ECs below average?

Your EC is fine. EC is considered but not important at UMich.
