<p>Probably. GPA is good. Rigor is Good. EC is OK. ACT probably good enough for GPA. In state helps. Legacy helps. Not a slam dunk. Good luck. Go Blue!</p>

<p>@resipsa what do you mean by “ACT probably good enough for GPA”? I have a UW 4.0 and a 29 ACT…Do they look for a stark consistency in both?</p>

<p>What I meant is that I would be surprised if U-M denied the OP admission because of an ACT score of 28 considering the overall strength of the application. With a lower GPA and less rigorous curriculum, poor EC’s, OOS and non-legacy, the ACT score could push U-M into the reach category.</p>

<p>coco, I think I already commented on your post.</p>

<p>I wouldn’t say it is guaranteed, but you are in a great range when it comes to GPA, and your ECs are really impressive. I’d say you have a good shot. :)</p>
