<p>I am going to be a senior at a private school. I want to attend either </p>
<p>U-mich
UW-madison
Texas-A&M
Purdue
--Planning to major in Engineering--</p>
<p>here are my stats...
( no class ranks...) I kind of slacked off some during high school (something I regret and hope to make a point to colleges that it will never happen again), so my cum gpa is a 3.5, 3.85 weighted(with michigan's system it turns out to be a 3.35), but does it help that it is on the up trend??? (I got a 3.9 the last quarter and have decided to kick it in gear next year and do even better) I recieved a 32 on my act(M-34, S-34, R-30, E/W-29) I got a 2080 on my SAT's, 790-M, 650-CR, 640-W (not that great, but it is more english/reading based, what im not as good at)</p>
<p>AP's ive taken or will take....Calc AB (junior), Calc BC (senior), AP Gov (senior), AP Physics (senior), AP English (Senior), AP Chemistry (senior)</p>
<p>Ec's are pretty good i think...
1 I am somewhat of an amateur sound recording engineer, ive recorded a couple different people and bands and have my own little studio
2 Ive been on my Class government every year, and last year and next year will be on my Student body's government in addition to
3 I'm pretty involved with music ( I sing, play guitar(5 years), piano(11 years), saxaphone, bass, accordion and a lil drums) I've been in an audition singing group all four years of high school, which is a big achievement because it only has about 10 pple every year (I am the first male to be in it for four years in our school history)
4 I will be the director of our school chapels this year (i go to a christian school)
5 I participated in the 3 last school plays, 2 roles were major supporting, 1 was the lead
6 Have participated in a Bible memorization team and recieved awards
7 I lead worship for the kids church at my church and help the childrens pastor with alot of other stuff-i also lead worship at my youth group
8 I played football and basket ball, i wasnt that great, but i still played </p>
<p>so...where can I go...tell me my chances at each of these schools
and will it help to apply late to madison or mich and show them good senior first semester grades (let's say a 3.9 uw)
and does early decision/action really help??????</p>
