<p>Huge upward trend in grades because I had pneumonia my last semester of freshman year. That and I'm bad with Spanish which is the only thing I've gotten a B in except for my 2nd semester of math because I was really sick during the final.</p>

Part-time job.
I'm not sure if this counts but in middle school I participated in Future City competition and our city won a bunch of awards including a personal award for me for Best City For the Disabled. (Something I am proud of =])</p>

<p>I don't know my ACT or SAT scores yet but any ideas or advice?
My PSATs were great although I can't remember exact numbers.
My PLAN (a pre act test) estimated my ACT to be in the 33-36 range and from what I've been told it's pretty accurate</p>

<p>Thank you =]</p>

<p>You should have no problem getting into Michigan if your SAT/ACT scores are what you say they should be.</p>

<p>However, remember this, apply early. I can not stress this enough. One of my friends had very similar stats like yours, and was denied because she applied a bit too late. </p>

<p>Other than that, you seem to have pretty good chances.</p>

<p>Ok thank you</p>

<p>With your in-state status, 3.9 Michigan GPA, top 5% class rank and tough course selection, if you can break the 30 on the ACT, I'd say you are in. Of course, if you can break the 34+ on the ACT and assuming you apply by early September, I'd say you have a decent shot at some scholarship money.</p>

<p>I agree with everything by Alexandre :P.</p>

<p>Just don't forget to apply early</p>
