Hi guys I am an out of student applying for admission this fall into the University of Michigan school of Kinesiology. I was deferred EA and was wondering if I had a chance to get in

GPA: My gpa was a little bit low originally for circumstances that I explained in my application (around 87-88% my first two years) and then I was able to bring it up a bunch and had a 93% average last year which averaged out to around a 90% overall. This year I had my best semester ever and got around a 94-95% average (grades have not come out officially yet)
ACT: took twice both 32s (highest E: 33 M: 30 R: 36 S: 34 W:31)
Wrote letter of interest to counselor indicating Michigan was my first choice
Activities: 4 Year varsity football player and bass fishing player
President of a Broadcasting Club
Member of school service club, NHS, and Campus Ministry
Senior Class Representative
Work two jobs.
Countless volunteer hours with local organizations for Autistic Kids and adults
One year of Saxophone
German Club
Essays: common app one was not my best but was about struggling with aspergers and depression throughout high school and how I overcame it. Interest one was about my interest in Sports Management
Recs: Got one from my history teacher and college counselor who like me a lot but who knows if either was any good since we can not see them

Any guidance would be appreciated
Thanks a bunch

Also because of my low grades originally I have not been able to get into too many honors and AP until this year. I took APUSH and got a 5. This year I am taking Macro, Micro, German, and possibly self studying for Gov or english

Yes, you have a chance, as your qualifications are definitely in the range of U of M admits. Nevertheless, you do have to realize that the competition at the school is fierce, so I cannot guarantee that you will be admitted. As long as you can stand out in the crowd, though, I’m sure that you’ll have a decent shot. Good luck!
