The University of Michigan - Ann Arbor

“I actually used University of Michigan as my safetyApr 16 2008Undecided
I actually used University of Michigan as my safety...so I got into the honors college 2.5 weeks after I applied in the fall. I had a 2230 SAT, 4.0 GPA, leadership positions and awards and stuff (no sports, however). I was out of state, so when I told people that it was my safety, THEY GOT MAD!!! After more research, I found my former arrogance to be invalid. This a great university with amazing resources. I suggest you work hard in high school, do well on your sat's, especially since it's getting harder and harder to get into...
SAT: 2230 Female

its michigan, everyone here was top in their class, involved in extracurricular activities and community service. Use your admissions essay as a way to set yourself apart.
ACT: 27 Female

“It's not that hard to get into the UApr 19 2006Electrical Engineering
It's not that hard to get into the U of M especially if you apply early. A lot of Ivy-rejects or people who got a lot of money(scholarship)....a lot of engineering or actuarial math international students or dumb football players come here.
SAT: 1400 Female

“Work hard in high school but have some fun tooApr 01 2006Business - Management and Administration
Work hard in high school but have some fun too. A 4.00 with tons and tons of extracurriculars probably does not look as appealing to the school as an applicant with a 3.8 GPA who was very active in a couple EC programs.
SAT: 1290 Male
