Catia v5
I am wanting to study in either law or biomedical engineering.
SAT score: 1360
ACT score equivalent: 29
GPA: 3.98
over 100 hours of volunteer work
job
Rep on student council all 4 years
Leader of bible study club at school
golf team for 2 years
cheer team for 1 year
school musical 4 years
6th place at 4A State Debate
Qualified for NSDA Tournament (National Speech and Debate)
I also have a blog with over 90k followers (if that is relevant at all lol)
What do you guys think? Should I maybe retake my SAT? I feel like 29 is pretty low.
Please be honest but not mean, thanks!
If you’re in state and from an under-represented school district, you have a chance.
If you’re from out of state, your chances are slim…unless you’re from someplace like Nebraska that has few applicants.
Nothing in your EC’s suggests a passion for biomedical engineering. A little bit of support for law school. But both of these programs are insanely competitive at UMich. Competitive enough that those low scores will get you deferred.
Try again on your ACT/SAT
Try to engage in an EC project that stands out and sells your ambition ASAP.
Visit Ann Arbor and stay for a couple days if possible. See if you like the city/people vibe…see if it’s a good fit.
I assume you are OOS, so I would say Michigan is a reach regardless, but a 3.98 unweighed GPA, with the number of AP courses you have taken or will take is just what Michigan is looking for.
Retake the SAT or ACT, especially if you want to be admitted to engineering. Median SAT is 1440, ACT is 33. If you are OOS you will need to be above that for the best chance.
