@b4sicallyid0work, your grades and test scores are not at all unusual for OOS applicants to the Michigan engineering program. Your grades are average for OOS admitted students, and your ACT scores are at/slightly above the median for accepted OOS engineering students. You aimed very high with your list of schools. OOS students can no longer consider Michigan a safety, especially for engineering. Your status as an Asian male didn’t help you, but it didn’t hurt you either. Michigan aerospace engineering is ranked #3 in the country. It is a highly competitive program. I’m not sure what your expectations were, or what makes you think there is racial bias involved.
