<p>maizeandblue2116 - I would say reach, because of the GPA and OOS status. Although, being part-black, and having a double legacy there would be positive, I still think it’s a reach for you. Are you being recruited? Just wondering because 7 varsity letters is INSANE if it’s for 7 different sports. Is that even possible? lol</p>
<p>Hey everyone, I kind of lost fate in getting into Michigan, because I just got rejected from Vandy, but then accepted to Case Western with max scholarship. Please chance

<p>Could someone chance me please? I want to major in aerospace engineering</p>
<p>I am black/asian from out of state. I have a 33 on the ACT and a 3.4 UW GPA, but 4.14 W, I’m also in the top 15% for class rank. I’m in the IB program, and have taken the highest course rigor available at my school. My essays and recommendation letters are very strong, and I know that they will undoubtedly help me. For extracurriculars, I have 4 years of playing tennis, 3 years varsity, as well as attending the state competition. I am also a DECA State Officer, in a state which have over 8,000 members. I also started my own Non-Profit Organization, that spreads Indian dance and culture. I have raised over $15,000 for female empowerment. I am a 4 year and varsity member of Speech and Debate and Model UN at my school, and I have won multiple awards at conferences for both. I am also a member of NHS and a club called Students Advocating Change, which educates the school about global issues and then raises funds for these issues. I have also been the president for 4 years of the youth committee of a cultural association in my state, which has helped host multiple events. I have also volunteered in India and Africa and have accumulated 160 hours between the two. Finally, I started a chess club at the local middle school.</p>
<p>If somebody could please chance me I’d be very appreciative, if anybody wants my opinion, feel free to ask I’d be more than happy to help, thank you!</p>

<p>Okay so I just realized that back in October I got the email twice saying that I am qualified for the EA decision. What does that mean?</p>
<p>I think they just sent it twice by accident maybe :-?? </p>
<p>@prodigee low match for LSA</p>
<p>@Epicorangeninja Pretty sure, I think the average is 33 for CoE?</p>
<p>@fdizzle Low match?? for OOS? how?</p>
<p>@vincentwsong reach because of GPA</p>
<p>It was four hours a part…I’m guessing it was a mistake, but still quite odd. Also if all of my cousins have attended UM does that help? They were all instate, but I’m from the south. </p>
<p>@prodigee I meant match, not low match lol sorry.</p>
<p>@fdizzle lol still, match seems hard to attain for Umich, especially for OOS</p>
<p>@Prodigee, I think your EC’s are pretty solid for Michigan</p>
<p>wait, first place in country? or did you mean county?</p>
