<p>Hi, I'm a junior in High School and I've been getting worried on whether or not I'll get into a good college. I would love to get into University of Michigan, but my freshman year was awful and I'm scared that will hurt my chances. I went to one of those k12 schools my freshmen year, and they're widely known as not having qualified teachers, having low graduation rates, and just being bad in general. Will that help explain my grades that year or will it make it worse?</p>

<p>My Sophomore year I transferred to an alternative Tech School. Do colleges like tech schools or do they prefer regular schools? Because I went to a Tech School no AP courses were offered. My First semester GPA was a 3.6, and my second semester GPA was a 3.8

<p>I am two credits ahead in English due to my college class last semester, and my overall GPA is a 3.55. I'm planning on taking the ACTs next month. Do you think that I'll be able to get into University of Michigan? I also live in the state, I'm not sure if that helps or not. </p>

<p>If you can raise your GPA to at least a 3.6 and get a 2100+/32+ on your tests id say you have a chance. However, your ECs aren’t very impressive so definitely work on getting more leadership positions and doing activities that relate to your major.</p>
