What are My Chances to Get into the University of Michigan?

Chance Me / Match Me!

Hey guys!
Currently, I’m a graduated Junior and I’m in the process of seeking admission into the University of Michigan. Even though I live in Michigan, I’m still considered an international student due to my Visa status so regardless I’d have to pay the fees required to be given by international students so it doesn’t matter if you guys recommend other colleges suitable for me.
I completed my Freshman and Sophomore year in India while I plan to complete my last two years of high school here in Michigan so I didn’t have the time to take any AP classes and had to stick with a few sophomore level classes because those classes were required for high school graduation. To compensate that, I’ve planned to take 3 AP classes, and two Science related courses of Physics and Chemistry in my senior year. I have an ACT composite of a 30 and a cumulative GPA of a 4.0.
The extra-curricular activity that defines me the most is my ability to solve Rubik’s cubes. I’ve broken several national records and 1 Asian record in solving one of the puzzle’s variations. Most of my application essays for the U of M and various other colleges revolve around this activity.

Which college do I have the most chance at?

  1. University of Michigan
  2. Georgia Tech
  3. Virginia Tech
  4. University of Texas- Austin

Too bad that you came after sophomore year. If you do go to high school in state from sophomore on and graduate from it, you will be considered in state student for tuition purpose disregarding your immigration status.
As an international student (particularly from India), your ACT score is not competitive enough for these schools. What is your intended major? Is your GPA 4.0 weighted or unweighted?

Yeah I thought my ACT was weak too :confused:
My prospective major is mostly Aerospace Engineering
4.0 UW mostly

Then you GPA is fine. You do need to bring up your ACT to 33+ for a better chance. ACT 33 was just the admission average for CoE including in state students.
