<p>Hello, I've been a long time lurker here and would appreciate it if you guys could chance me. I already know my chances are awful but still would like another opinion or two.
9th: 2.8 2.9
10th: 3.0 2.8
11th: 3.0 3.9
12th: 4.0 so far
SAT: 2310
No real EC's at the moment. I have been running an online business though. About $2k/month profit
URM from poor family (middle class now w/ my income (50k))
800 on USH
800 on Biology
Self studied 4 AP classes. Got 4's on each test. </p>
<p>UM wont calculate your GPA using your freshman year, so that helps. They also ignore most classes that aren’t Math/Science/English/History, so it depends on whether your grade is getting boosted by a bunch of Art and Culinary classes.</p>
<p>UM won’t care how much money your business makes, but they will care if your essay shows them that you have a mature attitude and strong motivation.</p>
<p>I think that you will have to depend on your essays more than most, but if they are strong enough you have a good chance of getting in. I believe that you have to apply to Ross after your Freshman year though.</p>
