<p>I am a sopomore in HS right now and my GPA is 3.77(not sure if it is weighted or not and it might drop a little before junior year), it will go up next year because I will work my a** off, and i am in the top 25% of my class. I have taken all honors academics but two classes(science frosh and spanish sopomore year) and will be taking all honors and 2 AP courses next year ansd as a senior. My PSAT scores were Math-67 Critical Reading-60 and writing-63, total-190(those were out of 80, apporximate SAT scores made by adding zeros) but those will go up as I learn more. I did track freshman year and JV football this past year, I think I will get varsity letters as a junior and senior and I am considering doing track again or baseball in the future. No clubs yet but I am going to join/start some and will do a lot of community service. So, what are my chances of getting in and how can I improve?</p>
<p>Very low (unless you are in-state, then you are a match)</p>
<p>You will probably need to improve your SAT scores to 2100+ and be in the top 5% to be considered an OOS match.</p>
<p>ya my SAT scores will get much better as I take more classes since I took them at the beginning of sophomore year , most of the problems I got wrong on PSAT were things that we had never learned before, my percentiles were pretty good though so hopefully I can get better</p>
<p>You have a fair chance. Just make sure you volunteer and get a solid SAT score (2000 and above). It really is not that hard to get in, as others on this forum make it seem. My stats were worse than this and I got in. Good luck!</p>
<p>^^^
Keep in mind that the in-state student stat bar is set much lower than the OOS bar.</p>
<p>I was accepted to UMich OOS with a 3.85 UW, 3.92 W, 33 ACT, 4-5 Extra Curriculars, 100-125 Hours of Community Service, 2 Internships in High School, Great Essay, and Amazing Recs. </p>
<p>I would never have gotten in if they calculated my freshman year GPA. Freshman year factored in, I would’ve had a 3.65, 3.75 GPA, which would definitely have screwed me over.</p>
<p>Just do well on your ACT/SAT and you’ll get in.</p>
<p>The admissions criteria are going to be very different for OOS in the future than they have been in past. If you are OOS, and are a sophomore, there’s no valuable chancing or number based advice anyone’s going to give you.</p>
<p>UMich puts good emphasis on GPA and course load and less on test scores, than most schools.</p>
<p>If you apply in September you have a great chance of getting in. Kids with MUCH lower stats get in as long as they apply early. (OOS too)</p>
<p>How come they didn’t factor in your freshmen year? Does UM not do that? I’m a sophomore right now, and my freshmen year really sucked GPA wise.</p>
