Chance for U of Michigan?

<p>There really isn't any other school I want to go to/ can afford than U of M. I've lived here my whole life and want to take their pre med and hopefully their med school. </p>

<p>I go to a challenging high school that has a lot of smart people, but my rank is still pretty good.
My GPA after junior year will be about 3.64 unweighted /3.84 weighted - 3.7/4.0 after senior
- My GPA went from 3.5/3.5 to 3.65/4.05 to 3.85/4.05 (I didn't care freshman year)
- U of M says their average GPA was 3.8- is that unweighted or weighted?
- I haven't really taken any easy classes ever
Honors math, honors science, AP bio, AP us history, AP us gov,
Senior year I will have AP Calc BC, AP Physics, AP Psychology, Spanish 4, microbiology... only one easy class (guitar)
Honor roll every year</p>

<p>Tests: ACT- 33 with 8 writing and balanced scores (I could retake for a 34 I'm sure)
5's on AP Bio , AP US history, AP US gov (all I've taken so far)</p>

<p>Activities (not sure about this part):
Only one extracurricular ever through the school- Track sophomore year for 5 months
At my church I have done a ton of stuff over the past several years-
I have a leadership position, go to all the events and meetings, and have several hundred hours (400+) of volunteer work including going to other states for mission trips.
(Will they care about these?):
I've been playing piano and guitar (classes in school) for several years
I lift weights and am also interested in medicine and will major in biology
I'm going to an engineering camp at the university this summer
My uncle went there and I can probably talk about his influence
I will have a job this summer and possibly into school</p>

<p>So I'm worried about my unweighted GPA (can I apply after senior year so that my GPA has gone up?) and my lack of extracurriculars which I can't really fix now. Do I have a chance?</p>

<p>I'm also a white male so that doesn't really help me</p>

<p>High match/low reach, but props for your ACT score, it might be worth retaking for that 34; that’ll definitely put you in the top 15% for uofm admits for act score. </p>

<p>Good trend upwards w/ the gpa, I’m in the same boat as far as that goes. Don’t indicate that you want to do pre-med on your app because that’s an overrepresented major (small difference, but a difference nonetheless).</p>

<p>Mention all the fluff, but don’t write about your uncle’s influence. Only direct parents count towards legacy status, and it’s best writing your essays on something that helps the admissions officers get to know YOU, not your uncle.</p>

<p>Good luck, and go blue!</p>
