| Uniguy: Look at the CDS posted on the other thread.....
64% of students had UMGpa's of 3.75 and higher
approx. 24% had 3.5-3.74...and I can bet those were in-state candidates....
Below 3.5....you get the picture......
You were lucky to be waitlisted....
There were OOS students deferred back in December with 3.8UW...( and I can hazard a reasonable guess that they will also be waitlisted now)
and, yes, UMich cares primarily about GPA's despite reports to the contrary..... | |

| I'm just the messenger..but the CDS doesn't lie....It is a long known fact that it is easier to be admitted to UMich from instate....UMich does not publish IS vs. OOS state data like UVa though.....It makes it look like a weird pattern of admissions; people deferred and waitlisted OOS at Michigan and accepted at top 20 schools.....(michigan: 47% admission rate v. top 20 schools: 25%)......
sherlock: You would think so, but not the case...... | |
