<p>Hey guys, this is my first time hear on CC and i wanted to get some feedback on my current situation.</p>

<p>I was wondering about my current chance of getting accepted into UM.</p>

<p>My Stats</p>

<p>-Junior HS
-3.677 GPA (Weighted)
-26 ACT
-Taken 1 AP class (sophomore year)
-EC - Don't have much sports/athletics under my belt except for a little community service.
-I'm currently taking 2 AP classes, Gov and Chem, and taking 4 more senior year.
-Ive been in accelerated/advanced math since the 6th grade</p>

<p>Others
-Lebanese citizen, i was born here but i vacation there frequently.
-Speak Arabic
-Lots of computer skills and basic self taught programing (Operated/Owned an online game with many players)</p>

<p>I know my background isn't too out of the ordinary, but i was wondering what i can do to improve my chances at this state. There is only one more Act test i can take this year if i want to apply before EA deadlines. I am majoring in the medical field (don't know where exactly yet). Btw this is in-state.</p>

<p>Thanks for reading this and be honest in every post!</p>

<p>unless you raise your ACT score above a 28, I don’t see much of a chance. I had many friends that got rejected with 27s, and 28s who had better GPAs than you, more APs, and quite extensive ECs.</p>

<p>Thanks for the response mj.</p>

<p>31 ACT, 3.6 unweighted Honors and AP classes - wait listed - if that gives you some idea of how things went this year</p>

<p>The GPA makes U-M a big reach. The ACT does nothing to help. I would focus on bringing the GPA up and think about taking ACT again in June and/or September.</p>

<p>very little chance</p>

<p>you would need to greatly raise your ACT to cancel out the GPA</p>

<p>the only thing that gives you a small shot is being IS.</p>

<p>you need more… some touching story, unique experience, be a minority… IDK what but something to have any shot</p>

<p>Thanks for the feedback guys. :)</p>

<p>Yea I think Michigan is a big reach because on top of the low GPA and test score, you have no EC’s. I would still apply and see what happens. Nowadays admission is so erratic that you don’t know what might happen. Admissions is getting competitive every year now and I think being Lebanese puts you at URM status though.</p>

<p>Work on improving either your ACT or GPA (both to be certain), get more ECs next year, and start working on the essays now if you already haven’t.</p>
