<p>-I've had a fairly heavy course load throughout high school. AP/Honors classes every year.</p>
<p>-I also have about 30 hours of Community Service and did a summer program at Michigan last summer.
-My mom lives an hour and a half away from my High School and we drive there every morning and drive home every afternoon. (I kinda worked this into my essay, not real substantial but was a bit of a hindrance at times)
-2 of my Uncles, 2 of my Aunts, my Dad, and my Grandfather went to U of M.
-I am a Michigan resident.
-I've been playing guitar for 3 years. It's just a hobby and haven't really done anything with it, I doubt Michigan will really care about it.</p>
<p>Michigan (LSA)- My "big ticket college", Plan on doing Early response with them, really worried my GPA will be the death of my acceptance there.
Michigan State
Dickinson
Albion
DePaul</p>
<p>Any comments on my chances will be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance. I'll do my best to chance you back!</p>
<p>Also please be as brutally honest as necessary, I don't want any sugar coating.</p>
<p>Michigan is a slight reach because although you’re GPA isn’t too hot, you’re ACT is fairly good, you’ve got decent ECs and you’re legacy/residency will definitely help</p>
<p>I think you’re solid for Michigan State, but I don’t know enough about the other colleges to make an assesment</p>
<p>Yea, your legacy most likely help you. The admissions team might understand if they see how heavy your course load was. Improve you SAT and i think you’re pretty much set for Michigan State.</p>
<p>Legacy will probably help you. Not very familiar with ACT, but if the PSAT is any indicator, it wouldn’t hurt to improve SAT/ACT a bit… </p>
<p>Um… now to be brutally honest (uh oh… close your eyes…actually… it’s not that bad…)
well… in my school… your course load isn’t… a lot… so I guess it’s all relative, are you taking advantage of as many APs that your school offers?? If you are, then it’s not a prob. All colleges get a list of the courses your school offers, but since I don’t know what your school offers, I can only compare it to what my school offers…</p>
<p>I think my school offers somewhere in the neighborhood of the high teen low twenties when it comes to APs.</p>
<p>Freshman Year- Honors Bio
Sophomore Year- Honors English and History
Junior Year- AP US History, AP English Language & Honors Spanish 4
Senior Year- AB Calculus, Some AP English class (haven’t decided on it yet), AP Bio And AP gov.</p>
<p>Also if it matters much my GPA has seen an upward trend.</p>
