I got into U of M Engineering. Instate. 1380 SAT I. 4.0 UW. Female. Tons of Ecs and good recs. Rolling admissions means first come, first serve. They review apps as they come in and the sooner you apply, the more potential spots are open. They accept about half of all applications.

hey KCG, ur GPA and extra curriculars are great for UMICH, but ur test scores may not work for an out of state person- try to raise um a little, maybe like if u can get a 1400 SATS and like a 29 or a 30 on the ACT'S, u should be fine. i could be wrong, but thats just my guess because ur test scores sound about normal for someone instate to get in- and for out of state the requirements are a little higher! good luck though! and apply early!!

of course you need good test scores, but its not all about em. I got with a 1260 out of state, so you definitley can get in.
