<p>batpad, I think ur good. You are IS and your numbers aren’t horrible. Just get some really sappy essays about your time in india and you’re good</p>
<p>shouldn’t michigan be the one school that no one should be concerned about getting chances for? Ok- let me re-phrase that. It’s just that michigan has this document online [url=<a href=“http://www.admissions.umich.edu/prospective/prospectivefreshmen/appreview.php]Office”>http://www.admissions.umich.edu/prospective/prospectivefreshmen/appreview.php]Office</a> of Undergraduate Admissions: Application Review<a href=“click%20on%20evaluation%20procedure/%20rating%20sheet”>/url</a> where the admissions criteria of the school is stated explicitly. </p>
<p>All you have to do is cross-check your own application with that of the freshman profile in order to determine if you’re an excellent- outstanding- good- etc. etc. candidate. It’s fairly straightforward, and I can only imagine once in a blue moon where this rating system would fail. Just be true to yourself and measure yourself objectively. </p>
