I want to do engineering. Also, there is a possibility that I will be able to apply for residency eventually.


My stats:

I'm expecting 700+ on all, hopefully 750+
I also plan to take Spanish and Math II in the fall

I will be attending the Cornell Curie Acadmey (selective all-girls engineering program--only 25 girls) this summer and a leadership conference in DC.

i'd say you're a match at the very least...possibly even a safety...

great chances for admission,
but horrible chances in declaring residency. i hear it's super hard to do that for michigan. i was planning on doing it too at first :T

Why is it so difficult to declare residency? My family already owns a house there, it's not like I would just be moving there.

Yeah, you have a great chance..if you apply early, it could even be a saftey.

yeah..residency is a bit tricky..you need to prove that you pay michigan taxes for quite a few years..also, getting a michigan driver's liscence helps i think..

alyssieann

Ok...I think we've been paying taxes there for at least 5 years.
