<p>You should contact Michigan track and field coach. If he wants to recruit you as athlete, you will get in.</p>

4

<p>^The coach is basically the deciding factor if you get in or not. Without him, probably not. Hope you run fast(new balance indoor nationals? I was there cheering a friend)</p>

5

<p>I’ll contact him, but what do my chances look like without the recruitment?</p>

6

<p>You haven’t taken the ACT yet so it’s almost impossible to say. Your GPA is very low for Michigan though so I’d really try to get on the track team if you want to go here.</p>
