<p>Coming from a prestigious high school in MA
just finished junior year
I want to major in some sort of computer science / engineering

SAT
Math: 730

(my sophomore year i got two B+'s thats why my gpa is low)

WHAT ARE MY CHANCES???</p>
<p>You are OOS, which means Michigan will be a reach, but by no means unrealistic. Apply early action. </p>
<p>I went on my schools naviance and it seems like they don’t deny a ton of kids to my school,
If I’m potentially looking to be an engineer should i apply to the engineering school, or their general science college and transfer into engineering?</p>
<p>With both GPA and SAT below admission average for an oos student, UMich would be a reach for you. Your chance for CoE is even lower.</p>
<p>what are the average GPAs because it says mine is above average for excepted on naviance</p>
<p>Yours is only slightly below the Class of 2014’s admitted students average GPA, which was 3.85. Naviance, of course, just reflects the GPAs of students from your high school.</p>
<p>You are right in the range where your GPA and test scores qualify you but guarantee you nothing. Definitely apply EA and do your very best on the essay</p>
<p>mattmass, Naviance can be misleading because it shows data from the last 5+ years. Michigan is one of the few universities that has become a lot more selective in the last 5 years. That being said, you did mention that you come from a prestigious high school in MA, and Michigan may take that into consideration. If you attend a school like St Paul, Deerfield or Phillips Academy etc…, your academic credentials will be well regarded.</p>
<p>I got in with slightly worse stats and OOS with very generic essays. However, I do agree, with those stats really work on those essays. I got lucky and good essays can put you over the edge.</p>
