Oh, yes, Soozie is right…he did very well in auditions, but I did mean that he was ACADEMICALLY accepted to all of them. However, as Soozie says, the UMich process is more complicated than I described. He passed an academic SCREENING to even be allowed to audition (I think I remember that about 1/3 of the kids who apply are turned away just in screening). However, I do remember talking to an admissions officer that said much weight is given to the audition, and that if the department really wants you, they will give a little more leeway with academic results.

I don’t have experience beyond my son, like Soozie does, but your d’s academic record seems very up to par for MT purposes.
