<p>Hi, Im a pre-architecture applicant(LSA) from India. I know international applicants should be extra early, but i am a perfectionist, so for me, the essays were never really complelte.
anyway, my stats are:
M 720
V 730
SAT II (Does mich even consider these)- math2c-730/physics-700/writing-720
Rank-7/78
Taken the toughest honors courses at my school. no AP/IB offered yet.
Chemistry, Physics, English, Elective Art, Maths</p>

<p>Essays- Pretty good(I cant really comment on my own essays though)
Rec- Amazing, she let me read it
I am also sending an awesome portfolio of about twenty pieces of work
EC’s- Editor in chief, yearbook chief editor, tons of social work(as in i spent weeks in villages teaching kids), Varsity soccer team, Debating, MUN winner, Quizzing, and other public speaking.</p>

<p>Well, it comes down to the ever popular question- do i have a chance?</p>

<p>Well, I’m no umich expert but if your umich GPA is 3.9+ I’d say you have a great chance.</p>

3

<p>How do you calculate UMich GPA?</p>

4

<p>Just take your letter grades from 10th and 11th grade (core classes only - foreign lauguage, english, math, social studies, science)…</p>

<p>A-, A, A+ translate to 4.0
B-, B, B+ translate to 3.0
etc…</p>

<p>average them together and round to the nearest tenth to get your umich GPA.</p>

5

<p>but aren’t certain classes weighted more…</p>

6

<p>nope - They unweigh your classes.</p>

7

<p>what i am trying to say is that for instance in my school u take physics 4 times a week and lit three times a week so an A in physics has more weight on ur GPA because it is more credits. So what do u do in the case to calculate your GPA?</p>

8

<p>my teacher put the weighed gpa from the 3 yrs…will umich do it differently after lookin at our transcript?</p>

9

<p>no no matter wut its unweighted no matter how often u take a class or little. ur final average is unweighted.</p>

<p>Relax Jimminy. It is late, but you have excellent credentials. You still have a good chance. But you are no longer a lock. Had you applied 2 months ago, you would have been a virtual guarantee. Now I would say you have a good chance…but you aren’t definitely in.</p>

<p>And all your classes will be counted equally. Obviously, Michigan will take into consideration the difficulty of your curriculum, but it will not weigh your GPA.</p>
