Is it worth applying to a top university or should I just work hard and transfer?

<p>from what i can tell, UMich is unrealistic. </p>

<p>You say you have a passion for learning as great as a 4.0 student, but what do you have to prove it? If it’s the beginning of your senior year, it’s quite frankly too late.
If you were asking at the beginning of your junior year, or even in the middle, i’d say buy a few AP books and start studying. You don’t need AP classes for AP exams, although they sure as hell help.</p>

<p>If you want to apply somewhere unrealistically, apply to Harvard, Princeton, and Yale. They’ll appreciate the drop in acceptance rate.</p>
