<p>There really isn't another 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):
I have 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>
