Moderate Chance, maybe a 50-50 or slightly less. Test Score is better than average, but your GPA is fairly weak. If you have been taking very difficult classes your chances will improve.

Unless there is something unusual about your high school a 3.5 weighted GPA is a reach for Michigan. The test scores will not cause the admissions to overlook the GPA.

Are you sure your GPA is weighted? I mean, that's not very good. You did well on your ACT though so is your high school just very tough?

"Playing Recreational Soccer for 10 years (Captain all 10 years)"

LOL, come on dude... that's a load of BS. There aren't "captains" in rec soccer, let alone when you were 8 haha
