<p>^Safe match. Didn’t Mr. Streeter tell you that? =P</p>
<p>^A safety with a 3.7… Not at all.</p>
<p>^ He goes to KAMSC. A 3.73 with a 32 ACT is pretty much a very safe match based on numbers alone. He has legacy too, so he’s fine.</p>

[ *] Essays: Will be VERY good
[ *] Teacher Recs: Best part of whole application
[ *] Counselor Rec: Best part of whole application
[ *] Hook (legacy, recruited athlete, etc.): Will be a recruited athlete. Except the sport that I am interested in playing is “virtual varsity” or “club” however by being recruited in this sport, it CAN help out in admissions, in fact the coach used to be in admissions and knows the people there very well.

<p>Sam, I would say match due to your solid gpa. ckl22, also match.</p>
<p>Thanks j89. This may be a stupid question but does match mean I will most likely get in? Or I am an average applicant?</p>
<p>yes. Match means you will most likely get in. You are probably the average applicant of those that are admitted to UofM so you’re chances are good.</p>

<p>Kiggafosho 2 honors and 4 AP might hurt a bit but not significantly. You’re very average for a michigan applicant. However, I think with your ECs, you may be able to write awesome essays and be looked nicely upon. I would say match.</p>

[ *] major strength/weakness: Weakness is probably low AP scores (I’ve passed 5/8 AP’s) but if I don’t have to self-report all of em it’ll be okay. Average SAT/ACT scores and a lack of hook. Strength is probably my EC’s and essay.
[ *] Other Factors/questions: I don’t know if I should ER or RD. I’m hoping this can help me decide… </p>
<p>Does anyone know if scholarships are still considered if you RD? That’s my main thing (that and an honors program). Being OOS is definitely hurting me I think.</p>
