<p>His SAT is high, but not that high. Either way, everyone needs assurance. I don’t blame him.</p>
<p>norcal1991: low match</p>
<p>Just to clarify, I’m using my friend’s username and I don’t intend on applying to to any Ivies.</p>

[ *] Other Factors/questions: If I am applying for a major in English, will a low math grade affect my admission? I got a D in a very hard honors Analysis class junior year that our school gives an extra quality point for due to its difficulty. I was moved down to an on-level math class second semester and got an A.</p>
<p>^ from what i’ve heard, a 3.5 GPA and a 30 ACT out of state is pretty much an acceptance (and a 3.517 and a 32 is higher than those)… so i’d say that’s good enough to get in</p>
<p>^what about high GPA but low ACT/SAT scores and OOS? do they look more at GPA or ACT/SAT?</p>
<p>I think they weigh both equally or relatively the same, because theyre both important</p>
<p>Peytoncline: Really? I’ve been told that my GPA’s too low and that I may be deferred.</p>
<p>Peytoncline Idk where you are getting your info from but plenty of people with 31 ACTs and 3.75 GPA+ that were oos last year got rejected, alot of them got in too though also</p>
<p>tazmanian> GPA>>>>>SAT/ACT according to last year’s stats…especially for OOS.</p>
<p>GPA is definitely more important. ACT/SAT is next, along with curriculum. </p>
<p>ivyhopeful: slight reach/low match. 3.5 GPA is a little low.</p>

<p>bjcapsfan10, What’s your Michigan GPA? </p>
<p>To compute your Michigan GPA:
- count only sophomore and junior core courses (unweighed)
- drop all +/- (i.e., B+/B/B-=3.0)</p>
<p>about 3.3, its the same because i have to remove a few weight training A’s</p>
<p>Yeah… you’re really hard to chance. Normally, a 3.3 GPA would be rejected, but considering your school background, I don’t know…</p>
