<p>I have a concern, couple weeks before my high school graduation...</p>

<p>I'm going to Michigan for LSA next yr and I'm worried about my grades...</p>

<p>by end of my junior yr I had unweighted GPA of 3.8-3.9(cumulative)</p>

<p>The first + second semester of my senior yr I think I'm going to end up with 3.0GPA(just senior yr)...</p>

<p>But I'm in all AP or honors classes this yr....</p>

<p>Do you guys think that I will get declined?.....</p>

<p>any possibilities?..Any advices that I can do in 2weeks?</p>

<p>What are your grades in individual classes?</p>

3

<p>B, B, B, B, B, A, C, B, B, B, B, B (only academic courses)</p>

<p>Get one or two more C's and they will ask you what happened. Otherwise, you are fine. I recommend trying to nail your finals, you don't want to be ashamed of your high school GPA when you put it on your resume this/next summer.</p>

5

<p>With those grades , you'll be fine. Dont slip below that though.</p>

6

<p>One C is fine, just make sure you get at least Bs in all other classes.</p>

<p>i was worrying earlier too but i think it's the general trend that matters.
I talked to my college counsellor becoz i was worried.
She told me. Last year, someone from my school got into michigan with straight Cs for freshman sophomore and junior year. He broke the C range first semester senior year and had 2 Bs and 3 Cs. But for his final year grade, he had 3 Cs and 2 Ds. Michigan didnt even do anything about it, not even a letter sent. so dont worry.</p>

<p>Bearcats, I would say that student was fortunate. Even students who attend top 10 High schools (like St Paul's, Deerfield, Phillips or Hotchkiss etc...) are expected to maintain a certain GPA. 2.0 students typically don't get into Michigan unless they have NFL franchise-level-material written all over them.</p>

<p>Yeah, he obviously was recruited for some sport and/or donated a building. I went to Choate and no one from my school could get in with worse than a B average. For people like that, I think the requirement is basically just to graduate. For the rest of us, it is no more than 3 C's.</p>

<p>wow are you serious bearcats?</p>

<p>someone with straigt Cs got into Michigan?;;;</p>

<p>Can you tell us what was so special about that kid?</p>

<p>by the way... although I will have one C and maintain 3.0 GPA</p>

<p>It's not really consistant compare to my previous yrs..</p>

<p>do You guys still think that it's fine as long as I keep 3.0?</p>

<p>jnpn what do you mean by</p>

<p>"you don't want to be ashamed of your high school GPA when you put it on your resume this/next summer."</p>

12

<p>seriously, you'll be fine...chill</p>

<p>They don't base it on GPA shift. If you want pure stats, mich sends letters asking for an explanation to kids who got 3 C's or worse in their final term. Of those who get this letter, 5-10% will ultimately lose acceptance. The kid who got in with straight C's is obviously a rare exception. Now stop worrying and just focus on trying to finish strong.</p>

13

<p>ok I will chill </p>

<p>Thank you</p>

<p>Sorry If I was annoying.......</p>

14

<p>I don't think there is anything to explain about that statement, unless you don't know what a resume is.</p>

15

<p>And no, you weren't annoying, I'm just trying to beat all that worry out of you.</p>
