So it looks good especially instate but now I am going to be critical. First off Michigan takes only unweighted. Why no AP physics c? Any programming classes at school or related?

3

Michigan only takes absolute values of grades right(No +/-) right
School does not offer AP Physics; School only offers Honors Physics, which is more directly aligned to AP Physics 1 anyways.
No specific programming classes. There is only AP CSP which I took last year and AP CSA

4

Yes. Then you are competitive
