My chances (honors program please :D)

<p>I know that I can probably get into Umich (Not sure why I wouldn't), just wondering about the honors program though.</p>

<p>NOTE: Want to most likely dual major in math/physics</p>

<p>My school is one of the top in Michigan, private Catholic school known to be very difficult (As are 93-100, Bs 85-92, etc. hard scale)</p>

<p>GPA UW: 3.85 (tons of Bs freshman year, then two sophomore year in religion, after that none)
GPA W: Idk school doesn't weight gpa. I have taken near all honors classes available at my school though, only time I didn't was freshman year (ironically)
Class Rank: 16/137
ACT: 34 C, 32 E, 36 M, 33 R, 36 S, 8 W. (best R was 35, best E was 33. W is still 8)</p>

<p>I've worked both junior/senior years, every day after school for 3 hours (prevented me from doing too many clubs :/)</p>

<p>LAN Club
NHS Club
Chess Club
Quizbusters
SADD Club
Track (made states for high jump junior year, probably going to place at states this year. This is definitely my main EC)
Work (maintenance at school)
Indoor track
Intramural basketball
Some other random stuff that's small and unimportant</p>

<p>Yeah so I know my ECs kinda suck but I'm hoping the 36 math/science ACT will help me out cause that's my intended major :x</p>

<p>Recommendations were excellent, specifically one teacher said of my growth from freshman to junior year (which is shown in my gpa and classes those years, and that's also the topic of my main essay)</p>

<p>I am a white American male (Yeah, sucks haha) and my sister is currently in the honors program</p>

<p>What be my chances :P</p>

<p>EDIT: Btw senior year I have AP German (but I'm in German 3, I'm taking the exam though cause I have a personal tutor and whatnot), AP Calc, Honors Physics, and AP literature</p>

<p>You have an alright shot for honors. It’s difficult to measure how much of a chance you have because the admission process for Honors puts a large emphasis on the essay. So my advise for you would be to write a good essay on a subject you are passionate about (so I guess math/physics).</p>

<p>honors admissions is about the essay. so write a good one. i got in with a 3.8 uw and a 33 so i guess you have a shot. living in south quad is really nice so its worth it to spend some time on that essay.</p>

<p>Alright thanks :). Yeah my sis said she worked her butt off on it so I’ll do the same</p>

<p>And yeah I think south quad is the main reason people apply anyways (for me too xD)</p>
