<p>Hello I was wondering how possible it would be to get into Umich with a low GPA, poor extracurriculars but perfect SAT's</p>

<p>I finished junior year with an cumulative GPA of around a 3.1
Freshman Year was a 2.5
Sophmore Year was also a 2.5
Junior Year was a 4.0</p>

<p>I took AP Bio (B+), AP Japanese (A+), AP Latin (B), AP US (B), and AP Micro and Macro economics (A+)</p>

<p>I currently take AP Psychology and AP Comparative Government</p>

<p>My SAT's were a 2400
My Math II SAT II was an 800
My Japanese with listening SAT was also an 800
MY US History SAT II was an 800</p>

<p>Extracurriculars
Volunteer for Tsunami efforts in Japan
Volunteering for hurricane damages in NYC
3 Years of Cross Country, Indoor Track, and Outdoor Track
8 Years of Judo
Volunteering for 3 weeks at a Japanese day camp
Japanese School for 12 years</p>

<p>Do you think I have a chance if I do early action? Thank you all!</p>

<p>The SAT’s in themselves will not be enough to get you admitted. How did you GPA go from 2.5 to 4.0? Are there circumstances to explain this? Your situation is a bit unusual and difficult to project but at U-M they generally prefer high GPA over high test scores. If there were no upward trend in the GPA your chances would be bleak with a 3.1.</p>

<p>Is the GPA weighted? Even if it isn’t, I would say your chances are bleak. The upward trend is nice, but I really don’t think its going to offset 2 consecutive years worth of bad grades. Michigan cares much more about your unweighted GPA than it does about your test scores.</p>

<p>Did you take some of those AP courses in your sophomore year?</p>
