<p>Hi, I'm a junior and I'm thinking of applying to UofM and I am trying to figure out my chances.</p>
<p>My GPA is 3.6 UW, 4.0ish W. Sophomore year was very rough for me, but I did really well Junior year (like a 3.9).
I'm taking 6 AP classes and 2 Dual Enrollment classes. AP Calculus AB, AP Calculus BC, AP Chemistry, AP Physics Mechanics, AP Physics E and M, AP US History, AP Biology, Calculus 3 (at a community college) and Calculus 4 (at a community college). Every other math I took (3) were honors and so were two of my english classes. </p>
<p>My ACT score right now is 32 (didn't study), I'll be retaking in a couple days, hopefully I can get it up to 33 or 34 (did study).</p>
<p>I've been in quiz bowl and I hold two leadership positions on the robotics team. I've volunteered 200 hours and I have job experience. My sister is an alumni of UofM and I am an in-state student (does that matter?)</p>
<p>Basically I see GPA as the only thing holding me down right now, and I've heard Michigan values it above everything else.</p>
<p>GPA is the big question mark. The 32 on the ACT is good enough. It is doubtful that a 33 or 34 will make a big difference. If you are in-state you should be able to figure if students at your high school get into Michigan with a 3.6 GPA.</p>
<p>i had a friend, instate, with the same everything as you except he took more college classes and had a 34 ACT get rejected this year. he had an extremely compelling story as to why his GPA had fallen(basically homelessness after BOTH his father and brother went to jail) and still got rejected</p>
<p>I got accepted with a 30 ACT and 3.9 GPA (weighted) to LSA for poly sci. From your application you appear to be an engineering major, and the school of engineering is the most competitive by far, but you will 99% get in with those stats. Ignore the guy above you, he is majorly exaggerating or just plain lying.</p>
<p>KyleTwentyEleven, I would disagree that he’s going to get in 99%. Admissions have been gotten increasingly selective, and somewhat arbitrary(yeah i said it) for some.</p>
<p>You have a decent shot of getting in though.</p>
<p>absi19, if you are instate then michigan has a list of what classes from all the community colleges actually transfer to michigan, so i would suggest that any class that you take you look first to make sure it would transfer if you get in and decide to attend uofm. and if your calc4 differential equations? just wonderin</p>
<p>I think your stats look good! As an in-state student, you’ll definitely have a better chance of getting in for sure. The thing to be a little concerned about is definitely the GPA, but you are taking pretty challenging classes (so that should help, along with your extra circulars). I personally don’t think you have too much to worry about, but then again, admissions (for alot of people this year) was totally random. Definitely apply early (it’s rolling) and write some great compelling and personal essays. Good luck!</p>
<p>Little confused here. You are currently a junior and will be entering your senior this fall (2011) and will be graduating in 2012?</p>
<p>You state that … “I’m taking 6 AP classes and 2 Dual Enrollment classes. AP Calculus AB, AP Calculus BC, AP Chemistry, AP Physics Mechanics, AP Physics E and M, AP US History, AP Biology, Calculus 3 (at a community college) and Calculus 4 (at a community college)”.</p>
<p>I hope you know what you are doing. That will be a very daunting class schedule. The problem I see is that you will not obtain your AP test scores (provided you take all the AP tests in May-June 2012) until July 2012 – well after or near the end of when the UM admission decisions are made.</p>
<p>You might want to reduce your AP load and concentrate on keeping you GPA nearer to your current 3.9 area.</p>
