I have been deferred and am just looking for others who think they can honestly evaluate my chances.
First off, 4.006 gpa weighted after 7th semester 3.93 unweighted. 6 AP’s over all (APUSH, AP Stats, AP Bio, AP Calc (current), AP Psych (current) and AP Lit (current). My test scores are generally unimpressive 28 act and a 1290 new sat (660 reading/english, 630 math). I have several extracurriculars which i feel is my strongest suit. DECA International Finalist for a chapter project, (top 16 in the world), (sophomore year), DECA International qualifier (State Champion) in junior year. I did varsity wrestling sophomore year and varsity golf junior and senior year. I also was involved in my schools link crew which helps with freshmen orientation. Lastly as community service I ran the score board for my little brothers hockey team, freshman through junior year. I am a legacy with both my grandparents attending and my older brother is currently enrolled. Called my regional admissions counselor and stated continued interest and received an email from her about it being noted in my application. Overall i feel my essays were good. Multiple revisions by parents and my language arts teachers.
You are pretty much at the bottom cut off of the ACT and SAT range. If your high school is a feeder, or in a rural Michigan county that has few applicants, I’d probably be optimistic, but if your HS is one of the other 95% I’d cross my fingers, and hope it works out. Under worse case your stats make you a near certain admit to MSU (not a bad alternative). It will also depend on which UM college you applied to. For Ross and Engineering, unlikely. For LSA & Nursing, cautiously optimistic. For the remainder of the colleges, (e.g. Kineseology) likely. Best of luck to you.
@TooOld4School, We are quite rural. Oxford Michigan. Id say only about 3-20 kids from our HS are admitted every year. The worst part is that it is located in Oakland County.
@Alex18Schultz
I wouldn’t consider Oxford as rural
I’d probably say Byron is the closest to us as rural (I go to Linden HS)
@Straightoutta7 Generally speaking I would agree, but everything between Oxford and lapsed is farmland. I love just outside Oakland county so I pass it everyday on the way to school. And Dryden is pretty rural. I’m just generalizing north Oxford.
Lol * lapeer, and I live.
I’m a Lake Orion kid and I’d say Oxford isn’t toooo rural. Your stats aren’t awful, but they aren’t stellar. Though I think you still have a pretty decent chance of getting in.
Rural meaning Newaygo, Alcona or Baraga counties. Oakland is definitely not rural. Part of the reason is to keep the legislature happy ; Michigan does not want all of its students coming from Washtenaw, Oakland, Kent, Wayne and Macomb counties.
@TooOld4School Again, just generally. I’m saying it’s more rural than many schools south of us. I am not sure but do you guys know how much weight having a sibling CURRENLY enrolled has? Because I think it should carry some consuderation.
They don’t care if every member of your family going to your grandparents went there.
@KMich @TooOld4School @kourtorder @Straightoutta7 Update, I got accepted LSA!
Yay!! I’ll see you there next fall!
@Alex18Schultz Congrats! That is exciting. My D was denied today, but got acceptance from Purdue and Wooster so the day wasn’t a total loss. I am just happy the wait is over and she can move on.
@Alex18Schultz Congratulations! Time to load up on the Michigan swag! Hope to see you in Ann Arbor in the fall.
@TooOld4School @KMich @kourtorder Thanks all!
