Will I make it?
What EC’s can I improve on?</p>

<p>^^Unless you attend Millburn (or similar), I would guess a deferral EA, then a waitlist late in April…just from what history has proven…</p>

3

<p>Realistically your GPA is pretty low, especially for OOS. You have an outside chance based on good EC’s and if you write great essays.</p>

4

<p>UW GPA makes it a reach</p>

5

<p>olympics??</p>

6

<p>Will having a legacy help at all</p>

7

<p>A little, but not as much as an Ivy</p>

8

<p>Your SAT Score is very good. I got deferred -> Accept from UM and I had a 30 ACT, 3.7 UW 4.0 W GPA, so I would actually disagree with the above and say you have a pretty good chance of admission. Make sure your essays are very good, I worked for a long time on mine and I think that’s what got me in.</p>

9

<p>^his SAT is good, but not very good relative to other applicants.</p>

<p>probably not, because your gpa isn’t on par, and UM places heavy emphasis on it.</p>

10

<p>haha ok… what do you mean by olympics?</p>

<p>if you are saying you represented the united states in the winter or summer olympics, then you’re in.</p>

11

<p>I meant special olympics</p>

12

<p>Good for you Mets6986. Make sure you put that on your application and use it in your essay!</p>

13

<p>Probably not :/</p>

14

<p>^coming from the person making multiple threads asking about themself…</p>

15

<p>^ yep got a problem wit dat</p>

16

<p>I’m just saying that student who post these chance me threads need to understand who is answering them. None of us really know whether they will get in or not… but if they really need someone to respond one way or another they should at least weigh the results based on who is answering</p>

<p>I would take Alexandre’s and other long term students or alumni as the top
Then students that have been here for a year or more
Then kids that got in last year
Then kids that are still looking to get in</p>

<p>but that’s just me</p>

<p>Well, living in MI, I am pretty familiar with the types of people they admit. I go to school with seniors who went through this process this year, and I saw who was deferred and who was accepted (those who were deferred had higher GPAs than the OP and were, in addition, in-state). I’m obviously not the U of M admissions committee, but I am surrounded in my day-to-day life with Michigan prospects, students, alums. So maybe you should think next time before you go discounting a person’s ethos on a subject.</p>

18

<p>By the way, your first comment doesn’t make sense. “The person”…“themself”? Go back to elementary school grammar class.</p>

19

<p>I’ll try harder next time I post form my phone</p>

<p>I wouldn’t worry about my grammar, I’m where you want to be, so my grammar was good enough. Keep up the hard work, and maybe you’ll get here as well. Well, as much work as it takes for a female to get in.</p>

<p>And if you are surrounded by all of these people, why do we need multiple threads with you asking if you’ll get in?</p>

20

<p>You do realize I have other schools in mind aside from U of M right? And I don’t appreciate your abstract, sexist remarks.</p>
