<p>Keep your grades up. Get your application in by the EA deadline. Have teacher recommendations from teachers who know you well and think highly of you. I would consider Michigan a match for you.</p>

just maintain good grades.
even better w/ higher standardized testing scores!</p>

<p>You’re GPA is very good, any improvement whatsoever in the ACT would help out a lot. If you get it to 32+ you’re probably in good shape.</p>
