Hello!
I am a Junior in the upper peninsula of Michigan and Michigan State University is my top choice for college. I would just like to get some ideas from people who have similar scores to me, or people who have been accepted and know the chances better.
I am also going to be a first generation college student, neither of my parents went to college.
Grades:
I have a 3.66 GPA right now (but hopefully once the semester ends it will go up to a 3.7) I have had above a 4.0 for all quarters junior year.
Top 15% of my class and rising
Scored an 1100 on the SAT (out of 1600) and am taking it again this Saturday.
I am also going to take the ACT in July (I’ve never taken it)
Sophomore year- AP US History and Honors English
Now/Junior Year- AP Economics/Government and Honors English Lit
I also took a dual enrollment Interpersonal Communications class through Bay College.
EC’s:
3 years of Varsity swim + got a varsity letter (not including senior year for anything)
National Honor Society Member with over 40+ hours of community service, more to come over the summer
Member of S.A.D.D.
Received an academic “E” of excellence from the Academic Booster Club
I am a student lifeguard of two years, about to be recertified this Saturday along with CPR, AED, and Waterfront lifeguarding skills.
1 year of YETI
and possibly going to be on next years student leadership team
2 years of Glee Club.
Any help you guys can offer will be greatly appreciated!
Typically, MSU accepts students who take rigorous courses. They will not tolerate the “dual enrollment” excuse.
My school does not offer many rigorous courses as we have around 500 people in the entire school, the two AP courses I mentioned is 2 of 5 which my school offers. They accept dual enrollment courses for transfer credits.

I am also going to be a first generation college student and have expressed my interest to them by going to a green and white day, asking them questions through their admissions email, and engaging with them on social media.
