[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our CCO said it’s 3.95uw requirement for UM EA. In some cases test optional test optional is fine depending song on rest if cohort.

All algo based.

Most of the class gets in regular decision (gpa 3.8-3.95uw) with a few in the 3.7-3.8 range.

No one ever before below 3.7 uw. And remember, Michigan re-calculates GPA to take out pluses and minuses - do use the recalculated number. You can Google how to re-calculate your kids GPA according to UM.[/quote]

Makes complete sense. Only question is with regular decision, is it still algo based?
Or holistic?[/quote]

We are in-state and have SCOIR.  There is a pretty sharp line around 3.9 GPA.

Our school is medium-sized and only sends about 10 kids a year.  Few would go elsewhere if admitted.

Anecdata but my kid's friends feel there was a better result for EA at our in-state school so far.

I think people have to make the best case they can for "Why Michigan".  Speaking frankly, there are few schools that are irreplaceable by a near substitute.  I personally think only Harvard, Stanford, MIT, and CalTech.

PP, former Michigander here. If your school sends 10 only, where do others go?[/quote]

Not in an elite school district.  MSU is very, very popular.  After that it's a mix of all the likely MI schools you could think of except people rarely bother with the expensive, small LACs.  The value prop is not there.  There seems to be some increasing attention to Indiana University at Bloomington which seems fair.  We had one kid who is doing great at Maryland (surprise, surprise for you DMVers).  Came back to give a presentation to the school board about her award for top student in her college within the University.  A few go to Ohio. Bowling Green, Wooster.[/quote]
