Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>I am a current high school junior in a northern michigan school with good academic standing in the state and country. I would really like to go to the University of Michigan (mom went there) and I really don't have any clue as to what my chance are for admission. </p>

<p>In-state
Male
Caucasian (as if saying that I'm from northern michigan isn't an indication)</p>

<p>ACT: 30. Not sure if this is competitive
SAT: Scores haven't come back in yet.
Class rank: Top 2% in a 450 student class. So one of the top 9 students in my grade.
GPA: 3.93 UW
APs: AP World - 4 (sophomore year, only ap given)
AP Lang and AP Gov this year. Thought I did pretty well, better than World.
Next year: AP Lit, AB Calc, and AP Bio.
Teacher Recs: Should be good
Essays: Should be very good</p>

<p>EC's
Student Senate 3 years, now on the executive board.
NHS
Varsity Alpine Skiing 3 years
JV Golf 2 years
Hockey freshman year
Tutoring 3rd graders at a low income area elementary school once a week
Signed up for Big Brothers Big Sisters for this summer
Work at a local restaurant
Work as a Learn to Ski coach for toddlers during winter months
Job shadowing at the local hospital
YAC Program (Youth organization that gives funds to local non-profits that benefit kids each year. I helped choose what organizations to give funds to.)</p>

<p>Other than UofM, I'm not sure where else to apply. Cornell..? Looking to the east, not the west. Any opinions/help is greatly appreciated! :)</p>

<p>You have a very solid chance. I think you’ll get in assuming you apply early action.</p>

<p>Try early action as suggested above. You are slightly below the average in ACT while your GPA is above average. Considering in-state with legacy, you should be a match. The mid 50% ACT for admission was 29-33 with an average of 31 last year. If you are applying to CoE or Ross, then it may be a high match to low reach. Cornell would be even slightly more competitive than U of M.</p>
