Chance Me, University of Michigan

<p>Hello everyone! I live in-state for University of Michigan and am currently a junior at a very competitive high school (many people get into MIT, Harvard, Yale, etc.). I plan to apply to University of Michigan College of Engineering, Stanford University, UC Berkely, and MIT. Here are my stats: </p>

<p>GPA (Raw) = 3.965 -My school does not weight GPAs. </p>

<p>9th Grade
-Algebra II Honors
-ELA 9 Honors
-World History Honors
-Spanish 3 Honors
-Engineering 1 Honors
-Biology 1 Honors</p>

<p>EC:
Robotics</p>

<h2>I earned A's in all my classes both 1st and 2nd semesters.</h2>

<p><em>It may be important to note that I moved into Michigan between 9th and 10th grade</em>
10th Grade:
-Pre-Calculus Honors
-AP US History
-AP Chemistry
-Spanish 3 (i was forced to retake it because Spanish 4 at my school is an IB class and sophomores can't take IB classes)
-Civics & Economics
-ELA 10</p>

<p>--I received all A's 1st semester, with the exception of Pre-Calc ( I got a B+). I got all A's in 2nd semester. I also got a 4 on AP Chem exam and a 4 on the AP US History exam</p>

<p>ECs:
-Track and Field
-Model UN
-Math Club</p>

<h2>-Science Club</h2>

<p>11th Grade:
- AP English Language & Composition
- AP Calculus AB
- AP Physics C: Mechanics
- IB World History HL 1
- IB Spanish SL
- IB Computer Science HL 1</p>

<p>ECs:
- Track & Field
- Kiwani's Club
- Model UN
- Science Club
- about 35 community service hours (this will greatly increase as the year progresses)
- Physics Olympiad ( i will be taking the F=ma test in January)</p>

<p>So far I have all A's except for a B+ in Comp Sci (i will pull this up to an A with the next test)</p>

<h2>My ACT scores are to come out soon, and I am expecting a score in the 34-36 range. </h2>

<p>Projected 12th Grade classes:
-- AP Lit
-- AP Calculus BC
-- AP Physics: Electricity & Magnetism
-- IB World History HL 2
-- Fluid Dynamics class at local community college
-- IB Computer Science HL 2</p>

<p>ECs:
- Track & Field
- Model UN
- Science Club
- Kiwani's Club</p>

<p>Thank you for your time!</p>

<p>You are a strong applicant and should have no problem gaining admission. </p>

<p>U of M is a low match with a 34+ ACT score.</p>

<p>Thanks! Oh, and what do you mean by “low match”? Does that mean that it would be better if I looked at more competitive schools than U of M?</p>

<p>Certainly apply to more than one school. Your ECs are weak, which is your only setback, but the state schools place more importance on grades and test scores.</p>

<p>UMI: Low match at 33+/2200+
MIT: Reach
Berkeley: Match at 33+/2200+ (can you pay full-freight?)
Stanford: Reach</p>

<p>What can I do to bolster my extra-curriculars?</p>
