There aren’t many black students at U of M and in Engineering (if that’s what you’re going for) there is a strong gender imbalance. You’re a pretty strong candidate regardless. I think the university will fight to get you and that you have a good shot at getting some substantial aid.

However, with everything in Freshman admissions, the amount of aid you get is highly random and you should expect that you might get nothing. But definitely apply and hope for a good offer.

And while your test scores are good enough to get you in, getting another point of two could really help you out in terms of your attractiveness to the school and thus, your chance at a good aid package.
