<p>@kevyduan Your GPA is slightly below the admission average for CoE while your SAT score is also below average. CoE would be a reach for you from OOS due to the low admission rate. </p>
<p>@hawkace, @billcsho, how do you calculate UM unweighted GPA? My school doesn’t report unweighted GPA. </p>
<p>@billcsho Thanks! Is my Sat’s close at least? and will my ECs help out?</p>

<p>@kevyduan EC helps. Your CR score a little bit low. Your CR+M score is within mid 50, but the composite is near 25th percentile. UMich does not superscore although they will look at section scores. For OOS applicant, it is not very competitive particularly with a GPA below admission average for CoE. The admission rate for CoE and Ross were at or below 20%. </p>
<p>@applecider15 UMich LSA would be an easy match for you from in state. You may get some merit scholarship. make sure you apply EA.</p>
<p>@Benf207 Your CR+M is near admission average for CoE but your CR score is weak. Your GPA is fine. It would be a low reach for you from OOS. Try to bring up your SAT a little more for better chance as the composite score is slightly below average right now.</p>
