And how is the department of mathematics at the University of Michigan?I am a high school junior who is looking to be accepted to the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. Any Advice?
You're in.


Here are the stats for freshman accepted in 2007:


Middle 50% GPA: 3.7-3.9.


Test score ranges of the middle 50%: SAT Verbal: 590 - 690. SAT Math: 630 - 730. ACT: 27 - 31


The only problem you may encounter is that you are OVERqualified. If you're overqualified for the school, they might not think you're entirely serious--that you're applying just as a safety--and reject you. I really think you should apply to the Honors Program (which would solve that problem).


Ann Arbor is a great college town. Both my cousins went to U Mich there and LOVED it--one loved it so much she stayed there for grad school. Their academics--including math--are great.I am a high school junior who is looking to be accepted to the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. Any Advice?
You've got a great academic record- why settle for U Mich? Give the Ivies and similar schools a shot...

So far you are on a great track based on your records. Ann Arbor is considered to be a small city which can range between (50,000 and 250,000) people which means that there should be tons of things to do. One crucial factor in college applications is how rigorous your course work is. Colleges like to see that you've challenged yourself and can handle a heavy load of work. Another thing that is very important is your course load senior year. In order to be a successful candidate you should continue to take honors or AP courses next year and continue to participate in extracurricular activities. Don't fall into ';senioritis'; because it may harm your chances of admissions. Hope that helped. Good luck!
I personally do not go to the Univ of Mich but my good friend does. She had a 3.84 GPA (weighted) and I believe her SAT scores were in the 1800s. She had about the same about of extracurricular activities as you.





So, I think you're chances of getting in are really good! She absolutely loves it there and says the football games are unforgettable (if you are a fan). I'm always watching their games on TV!





Good luck with your applications!
