Could anybody do a quick review of my profile and judge me on the ability to get an admit into the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor for an MS in Automotive Engineering?

Below are the pre-requisites for the course that is given on their page:

2. Undergraduate coursework in at least three of the core areas of automotive engineering (power and propulsion, dynamics and controls, aerodynamics and structural mechanics, and electronics).

3. The equivalent of 18 months of full-time industrial engineering experience at the start of the program and understanding how organizations work from a business perspective.

4. A one-page statement of purpose, two letters of recommendation, and official undergraduate and graduate (if applicable) transcripts are required.

5. The Graduate Record Examination (GRE) is recommended but not required.

Here’s my Profile:

2. Coursework done in pretty much every area of Automotive engineering.

3. Currently working as a race engineer & shop manager involved in building cars for the Indian Rally championship. have done projects for General Motors India and have impressed Ryan (Founder of West Coast Customs) with a unique 4x4 customization project.

5. I am not submitting my GRE scores as it is not required. (I did ask the program manager about the minimum GRE scores required for admission and they said that the scores would not be mentioned as the GRE is not required)

Please advise me on this.
