<p>I'm thinking about UMich-Ann Arbor.</p>

<p>Asian senior, competitive international school and foreign passport</p>

<p>3.71 UW Cumulative GPA</p>

<p>SAT I's
CW - 640
M - 670
W - 690</p>

<p>** Does UMich superscore your SAT? </p>

<p>SATII's
USHistory - 690
Bio E - 660</p>

<p>APUSH - 5
AP Bio - 5
AP Lang - 5
AP Psych - 5</p>

<p>This year I'm taking: AP Lit, AP Econ, AP Calc, AP Euro</p>

<p>Love community service; done four years of community service in local Chinese schools, Habitat for Humanity club officer, gone on a Habitat building trip in Philippines, Cerecare (taking care of kids with cerebral palsy) and visiting orphanage homes every week. Also in NHS and Prom Committee.</p>

<p>What I'm really worried about is my GPA, which went from a 3.8 for the first three semesters --> 3.7 --> 3.6 --> 3.5 for my most recent semester, when I had some issues due to a parent death. Is this trend bad? Well I mean, yes it's bad, but will it hurt my application a lot?</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>i think youre in</p>

<p>is that the sat I superscored? (i dont know how umich does superscoring)</p>

<p>a parent death will make up for a drop in gpa
and i think your ecs (if volunteering really does play that big a role in your life and you have the hours to prove it) compensate for test scores that could use a bit of work</p>

<p>Wow, your SATs are identical to mine! Scary. If your from Michigan, I think your in. Otherwise, I'd say 50/50 leaning towards the likely side.</p>

<p>I'd say you are in whether you are from Michigan or not, although if you are in-state, it's more of a sure thing.</p>

<p>And yes, Michigan does superscore--but it's my understanding they only use the SAT CR+M scores (unfortunately for you, the two lowest ones of your three scores)</p>

<p>P.S. All those 5s on the AP tests are huge--be sure to list them on the application if there isn't already a spot specifically for listing them.</p>
