<p>I think you'll be a match as your high SAT score makes up for the slightly low GPA. Apply early of course.
Michigan doesn't consider SAT 2 scores or 9th grade marks. </p>

<p>Ross preferred admit is a reach for everyone regardless of what stats and EC's you have. Theres a 6% percent acceptance rate for PA so its difficult to comment on chances. Try anyway.</p>

<p>Match sounds about right. You have good SAT and AP results, your GPA is slightly below the Michigan mean, but you took a tough course load. I like your chances.</p>

<p>Pre-admit will depend on three things:</p>

<p>ECs
Essays
Luck</p>
