<p>anybody???</p>

3

<p>i had the same stats, demographics, etc except .1 lower on my GPA and people said i am a reach.</p>

4

<p>I think you're a match, but SAT IIs won't matter; they don't even look at them. gl</p>

5

<p>Individual, Michigan is a match for you.</p>

6

<p>thanks -- anyone else?</p>

7

<p>anyone else please!!! on the normal chance thread people were telling me this was a reach -- so im pretty confused now.</p>

8

<p>you should do the early action plan the U of M has. They are probably saying you are a reach because you are OOS. Raising your SAT 1 will help</p>

9

<p>yeah writing kinda killed me (640 -- although an 11 on the essay). I think I can bring it up to ~700 for a score bit above 2100, although all of this is still speculation.</p>

<p>Status Quo -- how do my chances look?</p>

10

<p>I think you have a good chance, but you may want to retake it and then just apply as soon as you get your scores. I think if you have above a 2100, you will definitely get in, as long as you apply by nov. or so. hope that helped!</p>

11

<p>thanks for the advice! I plan on doing E.R for Mich and EA for UChicago -- my 2 top choice schools. So yeah, I hope I get my writing score up, but only time will tell.</p>

12

<p>still looking for more validation :)</p>

13

<p>haha, not to seem blunt, but I think that's about all we can tell you. None of us are AOs, so all we can do is give you our opinion. Just get those SATs up and then apply right after that! You'll do fine, just trust that everything will work out....good luck!</p>
