Are you in-state?

3

Yes!

4

Your chances look good.

5

It is a reach for you just as most OOS applicants. Your SAT score is around admission average while the OOS admission rate is at 20% or lower.

6

Poster is in-state.

7

EC leadership roles will definitely help you. The thing is, most people have pretty strong EC’s in EA and it’s really mainly about test scores and GPA. Your test score is a tad low but GPA of 3.95 is good, weighted or unweighted. As a first generation, I’d give you a bit of a boost and maybe if you’re lgbt that also helps since michigan is literally all about showing off that they are “inclusive” to the point of being made fun of even by the liberals in the city. Good luck!

Sorry. I missed the in state part. That makes a big difference. LSA would be a match.
