Hello Please can I message privately, I'd like to know the steps you took to apply . Thanks

[@mahnummian5937]

how did it go?

[@KristenMakoyi]

hello, i’m a junior with a 1410 psat score and 3.4 uw and 3.9 gpa, my extracurriculars are hosa two years,african student association two years, key club two years, junior varsity track and field two years, i worked at kroger this past summer and i am going to be training to be a life guard next summer. i also am going to be doing health related internships this upcoming summer. do you think they might accept me and what can i do to increase my chances? please and thanks.

[@jasonnguyen7318]

Probably not on the common data set it says only 2.5 % of students have a uw of 3.5 or less in the context of aps and honors

[@isaaccherchi9589]

Also, I am a rising junior. My weighted GPA is a 3.93. I have 21 A’s, 7 B’s, and 2 C’s (bc that semester I was experiencing family issues). I’ve taken mostly honors and AP courses, and have taken about 5-6 extracurriculars (inside and outside of my high school), some being robotics, soccer, badminton, and more. I have also done 300 hours of volunteering (yup, that many), and have written 2 cookbooks. At this rate, do you think I will be above the average applicant? Is there anything else in a do to boost my chances (my thought is to do extremely well on SAT but my most recent PSAT was 1020 which is kind of terrible, I need to study for that)? What are my chances?

[@jasonpatel13]

What major are you thinking of applying to?

[@whateverIwasthinkingatthetime]

Its just gloating 🤦‍♀️

[@remington8617]

i have an unweighted gpa of 4.0, was top of my grade in 12th, engaged in community service, art, and politics related extracurricular activities, but my SAT score is 1370 and there were no opportunities for AP or high-level courses in my school. do you think I have a chance? I'm thinking of a biology related major

[@MrCool-du2el]

Definitely! Your application will be looked at through the lens of what ur school has available, so applying is definitely worth it

[@tobimichigan]

Nice video, though you favoured the undergrads but left out the grads.

[@jasonpatel13]

You're absolutely correct! We've currently decided not to cover graduate programs on our KZbin channel because each one - even at the same school - is semi-independent. However, we do work one-on-one with graduate students if you're interested in help with an application.

@@jasonpatel13 l have applied for 2023 fall session for PhD...ld appreciate if u can dm me on cheap accomodations in Umich.

[@boopeshmohanraj9607]

Hey what should be the average GPA for getting enrolled into masters courses?

[@jasonpatel13]

What master's program are you trying to get into?

[@boopeshmohanraj9607]

@@jasonpatel13 I'm trying for masters in Industrial engineering, Global automotive engineering and manufacturing

[@jasonpatel13]

Many of the engineering Master's Degrees at UMich seem to have a minimum expectation of a 3.5.

[@ahmedishath6693]

Can i apply after my o levels ?

[@jasonpatel13]

According to UMich, you'll need at least five ordinary level passes from one sitting at “credit” standard on the General Certificate of Secondary Education, or a comparable certificate (GCSE, CXC, SPM, HKCEE, IGCSE, WASC, EASC, etc.). If A-Levels are being taken, predicted A-Level results should be submitted by the school at time of application. You can find more information here: admissions.umich.edu/sites/default/files/file/2020_international_brochure.pdf

[@starinsky190]

Can someone tell me how can I apply?

[@jasonpatel13]

Like many universities in the US, you can apply to UMich using the Common Application. :)

[@isaaccherchi9589]

Is the GPA unweighted or weighted

[@jasonpatel13]

Unweighted.

[@user-ho4nw5sf3w]

The place has doors

[@ceebee7192]

What do you mean?

[@user-ho4nw5sf3w]

I've been to the U of M many many times and I get in through the doors. Just like any other building.

[@mikefort7449]

The 22% felt like a high number, but that's probably relative. I'm a white male so I got in solely on stellar academic scores. U of M is massively international these days.

[@jasonpatel13]

Do you like the international feel of the school?

[@mikefort7449]

@@jasonpatel13 It really didn't affect me one way or the other. It was more of just a casual notice. The only way that you can tell is when your classes are graded on curves, and students (typically Asian) who come from cultures that have immensely high academic standards and rigorous study habits can really propel you to bring your "A game" (pun intended). If you're someone who likes the challenge, it's interesting. If you're someone who prides oneself on always being the top dog, it's daunting as all get-out. I made many friends who came from overseas. Had a Bangladeshi study group member who would tell interesting stories. Having said that, everyone was a rock star in the classroom. We don't let just anyone in. And GO BLUE!
