<p>I would really appreciate your feedback!</p>
<p>You’re probably a match.</p>
<p>Don’t screw up Junior Year and you’re in.</p>
<p>It depends on your standardized tests. If you can score over a 2100/32 on the SAT/ACT, then I would say a match. If your scores are significantly lower, a slight reach.</p>
<p>keep up your grades, take act, and let’s talk next year.</p>
<p>^lol</p>
<p>And Alexandre is right.</p>
<p>Let me say this. It’s funny how CC’rs in general think Michigan is this incredibly hard university to get into. It’s not. They have a 50% acceptance rate, and it’s public. The numbers don’t lie (even those this school is hit or miss for everyone). This school isn’t geared as much toward your average CC’r.</p>
<p>Too many CC’rs only get grades, and are only MEMBERS of what they do. A member can be signing up, being on the roster, and doing very little/nothing. A member means absolutely nothing. Zip. Nada. Nero. Null.I would say invalid, but that’s just awkward. Who cares if you’re a member? That means you’re a follower, not a leader. “John is a member of the Key Club”. How could that possibly help ANY college make a decision whether to admit you or not? Michigan doesn’t care about the length of your resume, they want quality. </p>
<p>CC is awesome for things like Ivy admissions, but I don’t know if it’s so great for Michigan admissions. Michigan doesn’t only want high school grades. High school is a joke compared to college (most high schools). Getting the A’s is TOO easy. Of course they want a good GPA. They want a great ACT, especially for in-staters! They want leadership in 2+ varsity sports. They want musical involvement. Michigan wants to make a good product, which is the making of leaders. Ask yourself how different your app is from everyone elses. </p>
<p>So remember man!
- Being a member is signing up. Being a leader is being a bad ass!
- Keep up your GPA, but really kill the ACT because your OOS
- Work hard in music. Michigan loves that! I’m a trumpet player and piano player, I love music! GO MUSIC!
- Be chill.</p>
<p>You sound like a really cool person. Just keep in mind that CC is AWESOME for Ivy and other high rated public ivys, but I really don’t think it’s geared for the Michigan way. Keep destroying man, and good luck!</p>
