<p>Hi, I'm new here so...please don't burn me. I'm also quite new to the college application experience. But anyways, I thought it wouldn't hurt to give this a try. </p>
<p>I was wondering what my chances were to University of Michigan. I am especially worried because I've heard they don't weight grades anymore, and being a full IB student, my GPA is only a 3.6. Also, I will graduate from a very reputable high school, in state.
Will they still take into consideration the rigor of the IB program?</p>
<p>My ACT results will be somewhere around 28-30. I'm still debating whether to take the SAT, too, but I'd rather retake the ACT if my scores are terrible. </p>
<p>I'm active in an endangered species club and BuildOn (club for community service),and am VP of our school's environmental club. </p>
<p>I've been taking piano for 10+ years, and volunteer regularly at a local nature center (I have 50+ service hours). </p>
<p>I've taken various 6-week out of school "enrichment" programs (but these are required to graduate from our school anyways). They include pottery, photography, JAVA programming, and web Design. </p>
<p>Also, I'm asian-American, and plan on majoring in environmental sciences, if that has to do with anything. </p>
<p>This has been really stressing me out because I've always wanted to go there. But, I'd rather know my chances (and let my parents know) than being surprised when I get the rejection letter!</p>
<p>Thanks in advance.</p>
