you should get in. mich puts heavy emphasis on gpa and ACT which you are solid in both.</p>

ipam45: between a slight reach and a slight match. You’re in that gray area a lot of people are in.

<p>Also even my senior year i have a very rigorous schedule: world religions, AP gov, AP world lit/lang, german 4, pre-calculus, anatomy + physiology, latin 1</p>

<p>forgot to add that i have a part time job at a hospital</p>

<p>bump.</p>

<p>anybody?</p>

<p>what was your junior year course load?</p>

<p>Ethics(0.5)/Values in the Media (0.5), AP US history, AP British literature, German 3, Algebra-Trigonometry, Physics, Symphonic Band</p>

<p>blue,</p>

<p>I think you’ll get in, esp if you are ER. UM Ann Arbor may have a different gpa calculation than dearborn but it shouldn’t be too far off especially since its that high already (be aware though that A’s in nonacademic courses don’t count when michigan calculates your gpa; not sure if dearborn does this). ECs and ACT are good too.</p>

<p>I’m no expert of course but your stats seem good compared to people I know at school who got in.</p>

<p>-
Also if anyone reading this would chance me again I’d appreciate it. I posted before but only 1 person replied and i’m just looking for some more input. On page 43, near middle, look for bullet points instead of asterisks. thanks</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>In my opinion, you have a good shot too. You’re not quite top quarter of your class and idk about your gpa, but you’re in-state so that’s good and your ACT is great.</p>

<p>i think you should be okay, blue, if you applied relatively early
i got in with a 29, so no worries about that</p>
