<p>Hey there!
Thanks for bothering to read this tediously long discussion post. I'm just starting my junior year, and as expected, I'm stressing out. My GPA isn't very high, unfortunately, I didn't care enough my freshman year. However, by the looks of it, UMich is slowly becoming one of my #1 schools assuming I get financial aid. If you guys could tell me what to improve on, what to add, change etc. I'd really appreciate it. </p>
<p>I want to major in Biological Sciences, probably Biophysics</p>
<p>My Grades:</p>
<p>9th:
Java/ntwking (Reg): B
World Hist (H): A-
Alg II (H): B+
Geometry (H): B
Biology (H): A-
English (H): A-
Drawing&Painting (Reg): A-
Latin 2 (Reg): B</p>
<p>According to my school, my unweighted gpa that year was 3.54 and weighted was 3.84</p>
<p>10th:
CAD&Web Design (Reg): A
European History (AP):B
Pre Calculus (H):B
Chemistry (H):B-
Biology (AP):A-

<p>My gpa dropped this year a bit because of chemistry mainly. It ended up being 3.41 unweighted and 3.83 weighted.</p>

AP US Hist: B+ or A-
Honors Calculus: A- or A
