First off, I am a sophomore interested in attending college when I’m older. I’m leaning toward UofM Ann Arbor, as well as colleges with similar stats/rankings. I’m graduating a year early since I am taking accelerated courses in the summer.
GPA: 4.17 (Weighted) 3.98 (UW)
I took 2 honors courses in 9th grade, since that was the max I was allowed to take. They were Honors Biology, and Honors English. I took one semester of Honors English II and Honors Geometry this summer, as well as Med Terminology. This year, I’m taking the rest of Honors English II as well as Honors Geometry, and I’m taking Honors World History. Next semester, I’m thinking of taking AP English. I will also be taking Honors Algebra II. I’m planning on taking AP classes next year.

I took the Explore ACT test in 9th, and got a 24 out of 25. I’m planning to major in Biology, and go to medical school. This summer, I am planning to go to into a medical program at a local hospital where we have the chance to experience medical specialties. I am a first generation student, as well as being a minority. Does this help me in college applications? Any advice is much appreciated. Thanks.
