<p>I was deferred in the ER session and I applied to LSA. According to the other threads, I got the good deferral letter. Right now, i have 3 extra recommendation letters(which, i think, are not too much helpful) and a personal appeal which explains why I didn't get straight As in the 7th semester (cuz i took many AP and honors). This is my 7th semester grades</p>

<p>AP Calculus: A
AP Chem: A
AP Psychology: B+
AP Bio:B-
Modern literature:Ｃ+ (this one hurts)
Ｍajor Ｂritish Ｗriters: Ｂ+
Modern world history: B+
Seminar: A</p>

<p>I know my grades are not impressive at all and i used to get straight As. After this semester my accumulated GPA went from 3.85 to 3.78 (unweighted).
I dont know if I should send in them. Because I heard about his rumor says that the admission office doesnt really give a ***** about how rigorous my courses are, and GPA is what they really care about. That being said, I m here trying hard and working hard whereas some kids can take all blow-off classes and get all As and still get in??? That doesnt make sense to me. so HELP ME GUYS THANKS!!!</p>

<p>if you didn’t get that C+ i’d totally would say send them, but…ehh its a tough call. personally i wouldn’t, but that’s just me.</p>

<p>I think you should send them. You have respectable grades in your AP classes. I don’t think they will care much if you have a “C” in an elective.</p>

<p>they began releasing decisions for the LSA?</p>

5

<p>Biz- They have been releasing decisions on a rolling admission system for a while now.</p>

6

<p>Do you know whether they count A- as something lower than an A or do they just count it as A?</p>

<p>I wouldn’t send em. Your GPA is worse than before, and colleges don’t like downward trends.</p>

<p>I took AP and honors, and got straight A’s. I’m sure a lot of people did. U of M wants students who can both take advanced classes, and maintain good GPA’s Saying “I didn’t get straight A’s because the classes were too hard” will probably hurt more than help you.</p>

<p>How many students do you know that took all blow off classes and got accepted? Chances are, not many. Besides, there are other factors in determining admission, and I doubt you know everything there is to know about the student.</p>

<p>So yosup do u think i should send in them without my personal appeal?</p>

<p>Seconded since I (kinda) did as well. Don’t send in the personal appeal, it will single-handedly get you rejected.</p>
