<p>im about to finish my junior year at a competitive public high school
my weighted gpa is 3.75 which puts me somewhere near the bottom of the top quarter of my class
i have taken 3 ap classes and will take 3 next year
i expect to get 5s or at least 4s on the ap tests i took this spring
i have also taken numerous honors classes, but not every one offered
sat: cr-750 math-720 writing-750
i retook the sat in june
my psat score will probably get me a letter of commendation
sat ii: bio-690 us-740 i will take literature in the fall and will most likely score in the 700s
i have played 3 different sports at my high school but none at the varsity level and i wont be playing any next year
3 years so far on the staff of the literary magazine, next year as editor-in-chief
2 years working for the schools television station, next year more advanced
essay writing is my thing so those should be pretty good</p>
<p>Your 2220 on the SAT will definitely attract the right kind of attention. What is your unweighed GPA (including only academic classes) for your Sophomore and Junior years (Michigan does not count Freshman year)? Your weighed GPA of 3.75 unfortunately points to your having a relatively low (sub 3.5) unweighed GPA. If that's the case, then Michigan becomes a slight reach. If your unweighed GPA is over 3.6, I would say Michigan becomes a match.</p>
<p>thanks for responding.
i am out of state.
my unweighted gpa without freshman year is likely only a 3.3...
so is the consensus with alexandre - slight reach? or more than that?
any tips on what i could do aside from get better grades next fall?</p>
<p>3.3 unweighed will hurt you, but it really depends on your high school. Some students from some elite high schools get into Michigan with 3.3 GPAs. Do you know of students in your school who got into Michigan with a 3.0-3.4 GPA?</p>
