Is umich a good safety school? I’m not sure how confident I should be in my ability to get in
@jazzer98 Umich is not a safety school for anyone particularly from OOS. Indeed, it is a high match to match for you. The OOS admission rate is 20% this year. There are students with stat like yours got rejected in the last couple years in this forum.

@billcsho Hey there, I noticed you have been responding to most of these posts. Do you think you could chance my stats from page 131? It’s the last post.
@golfstudent13 SAT 2160 and ACT 32 are admission average for LSA but below average for CoE. They are nearly identical while the admission average ACT for CoE was 33 last year. Note that the admission average includes in state students, so these scores are even farther away from the average of admitted OOS students. All are relative. The scores themselves are great, but they are certainly mediocre amoung OOS applicants for CoE or Ross.
@j4yxson Your GPA is below admission average while your SAT is also not very impressive (particularly your CR score) for CoE. That would make CoE a reach for you from OOS. I know an in state student with similar GPA but better test score got rejected from CoE this year.
