Hello everyone! This is my resort to get the final information to confirm my questions. I would like professional help from as many experienced people (including students who have experience with this). My ethnicity is Indian. I studied in the Caribbean my entire middle scgool to high school, grade 10. I am fifteen currently and recently moved to Michigan (2017 summer). My current high school requirements for graduation is 24 and from my transfer credits, I have 21 total at the moment. I’m a Junior, taking only regular classes Even though I wanted APs and honours. I couldn’t take AP because I wasn’t here over the summer to do requirements for them and can’t do honours because the classes were full. My GPA currently is a 3.72. I guess this was my first ever semester in Ann American high school and few areas in Algebra 2 were a little confusing ( got a B) and a B+ in American Literature. The rest I got straight As. I hope to get straight As only next semester of my Junior year. I am feeling very nervous as I am doing my best to go to MSU. I hope for the best to go MSU mainly. I am afraid because I onky have CR(credits) written on my transcript and not actual letter grades because they don’t consider international grades here but to only give credit that I’ve taken it. I am a Triathlete and participated in triathlon for four years, swimming competition and training for over 9 years, cyclist, and few more outdoor sports (Soccer, basketball, volleyball etc for more than 2+ years). I’m very big when it comes to sports and extra curriculars, so that’s not a problem. My only issue is that I see some juniors taking few APs in junior grade since they collges see junior years mainly and what AP capable subjects they’ve taken. I feel extremely nervous for:
- Being international (so I have a slim chance)
- Not taking any APs which sucks a lot but it wasn’t my fault
- My SAT is currently 1150(my first official SAT I’ve ever taken, which was in December of 2017)
I hope to increase my SAT score to at least 1300 or a 1380 before April. (I’m taking one in March again)
So please I would appreciate any, any! Help you guys have or recommendations of what I should do. Do I write my situation in the college application or something for MSU?
Btw I’m planning to take between 5-6 APs in senior year so that’s confirmed. My only issue is what I’ve stated above and if I can get into MSU. I really want to get into MSU…I’m planning to do Pre med. Again, thanks for taking your precious time to read my problem, and I hope to get any advice, answers on my situation right now and/or anything that can improve my chances.
