University of Michigan

<p>Hi I would like to know what my chances are of getting into UMich are so far. I live in Michigan so I'm IS. </p>

<p>I am a rising Senior in high school and have a 3.9 GPA unweighted. School doesn't weigh GPAs. I go to a small school of ~600 students and am ranked 3 out of 106 kids in my class. Our school doesn't weigh GPA's and only offers one honors class and advanced track which I'm on. I'm taking the hardest classes I can. I'm also dual enrolled at the local community college. </p>

<p>ACT score was a 27. I'm retaking the ACT in September and hopefully will get a 30.</p>

<p>I'm on the Varsity track team, National Honor Society (50 volunteer hours) Science Olympiad, attended Michigan boys state, and I took sixth in state for a project I built in class. My essays are pretty unique and personal. I have also been traveled to many countries including Jordan, Egypt, Israel, and <em>Palestine</em>. </p>

<p>What are my chances for LSA?</p>

<p>Your chances are good. Apply.</p>

<p>it’s getting harder every year, especially with common app now, but if you can increase the ACT to 30, then i’d say you have a good shot. Right now, it’s just 60/40 or 50/50 imo</p>

<p>

… and apply early.</p>

<p>I’m not as optimistic as the other posters, I would say you’re a definite reach right now and with how hard next year will be, still a slight reach if you get a 30. Match if you can get over 30.</p>

<p>I don’t see any problems for you and think you have way better than a 50/50 shot.</p>

<p>See here for out of state admissions from a reputed high school near me. </p>

<p>Keep in mind UMich is more selective out of state. You can even see where the kids that got into Michigan didn’t get into and vice versa.</p>

<p>Thanks for the link Blah2009. I see people getting in with lower ACT and equivilant SAT scores and they were out of state. I am in state though. I’m not sure if you thought I was out of state or not.</p>

<p>As usual blah puts something into a Michigan thread that makes it look like it’s a piece of cake to get into. Trust me, it’s not. However, being in state I’d say you are definitely a match.</p>
