What are my chances at the University of Michigan LSA?

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>I'm a junior right now, at a highly-ranked public high school in Oakland County, Michigan.</p>

<p>GPA: Unweighted- about 3.4 weighted- 3.5 or 3.6
I've taken maybe 6 or 7 honors classes, and 1 AP so far, I will take more next year.
ACT: 29 for now, just took it again...
Race: White, Jewish
Legacy: Both parents, grandparents went to UofM
EC: 3 (soon to be 4) years of forensics
2 years policy debate (won a JV tournement)
Japanese Club
3 (soon to be 4) years Mock Student Congress (kind of like parlamentary debate)
1 year theatre
1 year soccer team</p>

<p>Oh, and I recently discovered I had severe Graves Disease, which caused me to have bad dizzy spells/faint multiple times per day. This also made me impulsive and hyperactive, adversely affecting my studies. Since I began treatment, I have got a 3.8.</p>

<p>Is there any other information you may need? Thanks.</p>

<p>Oh, principles honor roll ninth grade and eleventh grade, and deans list tenth grade</p>

<p>hello...??</p>

<p>I got rejected from Kinesiology last year with a 3.7 and a 29, although my UM GPA was more around 3.3-3.4. I had 4 APs and 9 honors courses. </p>

<p>I'd say it's a slight reach, although it's LSA so you may have a better chance as that's regarded as the easiest school to get into.</p>

<p>you think?</p>

<p>Update</p>

<p>3rd quarter junior year
2 honors classes
gpa: 3.871</p>

<p>Cumulative gpa: weighted-3.58
unweighted-3.36</p>

<p>That's it? OK.</p>

8

<p>It's still a reach. Your GPA needs to be at least above a 3.5 to stand a chance with a mediocre 29 ACT score. </p>

<p>If you get your GPA to 3.7+ and ACT to 30+ then Michigan will be a match</p>

9

<p>Slight reach. I think you can do it though.</p>

10

<p>3.7 is a tad unrealistic, as I only have 2 semesters left. A 3.5-6 is possible, though. Oh, and add Japanese Quiz bowl State Champ to the EC list.</p>

11

<p>my new ACT results came in, I got a 30... not as good as I had hoped, but its still better.</p>

<p>I'd say Michigan is a match for you. Being in-state definitely helps and if you write an essay explaining about being diagnosed with Graves Disease, your GPA will be viewed in a better light.</p>
