[ *] major strength/weakness:
Strengths: I think I could write a pretty killer essay about my experiences with my volunteer program. I've been helping this blind woman for two years now and I have incredible things to say about that. She's also somewhat of a celebrity; not that it would make a difference or help me.
Weakness: My GPA. At best it's going to be an 88, but I was hoping I could really improve my Senior year and show them that I can and am willing to improve and get my grades up, even though senior year doesn't go towards your GPA. Also I don't have any noteworthy titles or clubs.
[ *] Other Factors/questions:
Will it help that my sister is an alumni? She graduated in '06 from the Ross school and also graduated from uMich's graduate school for an accelerated teacher's program. </p>
<p>I'm also going to apply early response so will that help me in any way? I know my GPA is going to sink me and I probably won't have a very big chance of getting in.</p>
<p>Thanks everyone, and any tips to help increase my changes in getting in would be great.</p>
