So I’m planning on applying to the University of Michigan early action, but my SAT score is below their standards (1280/ 27 ACT) while my GPA is above being a 3.93. I also have strong ECs and AP classes/scores. Will my being a black female pursuing a political science major be enough of a “hook” to overcome my test scores? I am also in-state.
