Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>Hi everyone I am about to be a senior this fall and I am reallly hoping to go to MSU. i am applying to their fairly new residential college in the arts & humanities. I went to visit it during the spring and I met with one of the admissions directors for it and she really seemed to like me and I liked her. I got a great feeling when I was there, I knew it is the place I am meant to go. :) </p>

<p>School: Detroit Country Day School [very rigorous college prep school and my college counselor said MSU holds spots for country day kids]</p>

<p>GPA: this is just a guess but its probably a 3.3 unweighted ; I received an 84 average GPA for the end of Junior year. It was probably higher the past 2 yrs. </p>

<p>APs: i took AP psych [waiting for results of the test] and I am taking AP stats, AP photography and AP Shakespeare this upcoming year. i also took honors french </p>

<p>SAT: 500M 570CR 610W </p>

<p>ACT: Composite: 26 ; 28 English; 20 Math ; 29 Reading ; 27 Science ; 8 Writing [on 8-12 scale] And I know my math is low but I sent MSU the ACT I took before this and got a 23 in math . </p>

<p>EC: Freshman year: JV soccer, strength & conditioning, yearbook club, french club, choir
Sophomore year: JV soccer, strength & conditioning, yearbook club, french club, art & design
Junior year: V mountain biking, JV tennis, french club, diversity council, photography
senior year: V cross country, JV tennis, french club [treasurer], diversity council [will have a position], AP photography </p>

<p>Community service: 40+ hours ; babysat for my church , worked at a food bank ; took pictures at vacation bible school for a week ; helped out with a garden tour; worked at a dance recital </p>

<p>Internship: I had an internship at a courthouse with a Judge for the whole summer before 11th grade.</p>

<p>Recommendations: I am getting one from my English teacher. English is my passion and I have received high A's on all of my papers from this English teacher. She has been my teacher for 3 years in a row. She writes very good recommendations and quotes sentences from essays the student has written. ; I will also get a recommendation from the Judge I worked for because she got to know me personally and can give a good recommendation based on my characteristics and qualities. </p>

<p>Essay: I already wrote my essay because we had a whole workshop for a month on it in my junior English class. we learned how to write the best we can for college and what colleges are looking for. i received a 96 on it from my teacher so i will be sending that one in. </p>

<p>Classes: I have taken 5 english classes [2 senior year], 5 history classes [2 senior year], 4 sciences, 4 maths, 4 years of french, and i have taken art/photography or speech/health for every year. So i have taken as many if not more of the classes MSU recommends. </p>

<p>Improvement: This year, I really improved in most all of my classes. my hardest classes were AP psych and honors french. I went from a C- in the first semester of honors french to a B+ [86] by the end of the year. And for psych, I went from a C+ to being one point from an A-. I know MSU looks at improvement. </p>

<p>Sorry it's long, but whoever will chance me i will be very grateful! If you don't feel like chancing me, maybe you can tell me what you think of MSU acceptance and how hard/easy it is to get in :) Thank you!!</p>

<p>I’m glad you’re looking at MSU :). </p>

<p>Anyways, it’s honestly a bit of a stretch. MSU admissions have become MUCH MUCH more difficult in the last few years. I had a friend get rejected with a 3.2 GPA and a 31 ACT. I would say you’re probably in, but I would have a back up.</p>

<p>Your ECs are really good, but I would try to retake the ACT and at least get it up to a 28ish and apply very early!</p>

<p>If you have any questions, PM me. I am an MSU student in the RCAH can answer almost any questions you have.</p>

<p>Go green! Go white! And I’m really happy that you’re looking at RCAH. It really is an amazing program. And yeah, Kate (the admissions counselor) is awesome!</p>

<p>I think you can make it. I applied last fall and got accepted with a great extracurricular background, 3.0 UW gpa, 620M/520CR/490W. Out of State also. I was surprised I actually got into their quite famous Hospitality Management Program.</p>

<p>ahh i think you will be fine as long at you get your GPA up.
GO STATE!:)</p>

<p>I’d say match. Seem pretty well set here. </p>

<p>Just to clarify one thing: There is no such thing as AP Photography. Ditto for AP Shakespeare (perhaps this is AP Lit)? Don’t use the AP level if it doesn’t correspond to an AP course.</p>
