<p>I took the test in october and i got a 25 and then i took it in december and i got a 26. I really wanna go to University of Michigan or Michigan State. Is this like a terrible score becuase some people say its so good while others just say its terrible. I come from a high school where the average is 25 and i also come from a very high class prestige area where parents brag about where there kids go to college. So on that note am i doomed?</p>
<p>DAMN FEB SCORES COME OUT NOW</p>
<p>Chill out, dude.</p>
<p>This website: <a href=“http://apps.collegeboard.com/search/CollegeDetail.jsp?collegeId=2157&profileId=6[/url]”>http://apps.collegeboard.com/search/CollegeDetail.jsp?collegeId=2157&profileId=6</a> tells you the 25%ile to the 75%ile for people at MSU. 26 is above average! You’re virtually guaranteed (if you have decent grades).</p>
<p>As for UMich, <a href=“http://apps.collegeboard.com/search/CollegeDetail.jsp?collegeId=1195&profileId=6[/url]”>http://apps.collegeboard.com/search/CollegeDetail.jsp?collegeId=1195&profileId=6</a> it will be tough as 26 is 25%ile. However, you still have april and june. just get into the higher 20s for U Mich.</p>
<p>You need to relax. Stop worrying about other people’s tendencies and how they brag. Just look at things objectively to see what you need to strive towards.</p>
<p>I have a 3.9 recalculated GPA and i also have lots of community service and work experience so i hope that i get into both of these universities, thanks for the info.</p>
<p>It might be okay for State. I think State has an average of 24. You’ll probably need to aim for at least a 28, maybe higher, to get into Michigan. I heard that Michigan closed down one of its freshman dorms or something, so it’s harder to get in. Hmm. I don’t know if that’s true, though.</p>
<p>Wasabi612, even with your current 26, you should be admitted to State without any worries. What does “recalculated gpa” mean? Does that mean weighted?</p>
<p>Evilmonkey is right that 28+ is probably needed for a very good chance at Mich.</p>
<p>Recalculated is what colleges such as MSU and U of M do to you GPA. They get your transcript and they take grades 10 and 11 and they take all the grades and base them on this scale. 4=A 3=B 2=C 1=D 0=E then they divide what they get by the number of grades. They only take your core academic classes when doing this and this is what MSU and U of M do but there are many other universities that do. The main point is that there are no pluses ore minuses.</p>
<p>Ok then, 3.9 is really good. I was thinking that recalculated means weighted, which would mkae 3.9 not the greatest weighted gpa.</p>
<p>But with a 3.9 and 26, you’re in State. I can say that, barring any unforseen circumstances, you’ve got a 100% shot.</p>
<p>For U Mich, it’ll be tough to get in with a 26 despite your high gpa. You’ll need in the high 20s+ for Mich.</p>
<p>Good Luck.</p>
