<p>I was just wondering if anybody could chance me for undergraduate admission for UM -I'm out of state</p>

<p>I go to a pretty prestigious and rigorous Catholic High School and the best grade possible is an A (no A+s)</p>

<p>Grades
Freshman</p>

<p>French II- B-
Art- B+
Biology- A-
Geometry Honors- B+
English I- A-
Religion- A-
Global History- A-
Health- A
(Only two honors courses offered freshman year)</p>

<p>Sophomore (Can't take APs 'til Jr year)
English II Honors- A-
French III- A-
Scripture- A
US History Honors- A-
Chem- A
Art- A
Algebra II/Trig Honors- A-
Health A</p>

<p>Junior Year (Grades as of now)</p>

<p>Physics Honors B+/A-
AP English Language and Composition- B+
Music- A
French IV- A-
AP USH- A

<p>ACT: 33 </p>

<p>For my senior year classes I plan to take AP Macro and Micro Econ, AP EnviSci, AP Stats, maybe EuroHis AP, English IV and Religion. What do you think of these?</p>

<p>Extras: 150 hours of community service with underprivileged children
2 Summers of internships with local college summer baseball league (gameday set up and operations)
Elected to Student Council and on Student Council
Founded An Irish Sports Club which promotes Irish Sports (kind of like a club sport)
Varsity Athlete- Track- Have been contacted colleges- I'm pretty good- so this is a hook
-I won a national competition for my age group Freshman year
-Also, we have practice or a race 6 days a week for the entire winter and spring, which is why I don't have a ton of other ECs
Freshman XC Captain (Elected)
Probably going to have an internship with a British Politician in Great Britain for a month in the summer to learn how their government works and all
Founded a Ping Pong Tournament for Charity Soph year and probably will continue it this year</p>

<p>What are my chances? Is there anything I can do to better them?</p>

<p>In my opinion, I would be pretty surprised if you didn’t get accepted. I got in with a 32 on the ACT and basically the same gpa. Your extracurriculars seem stronger too, so I wouldn’t worry too much about getting rejected.</p>

<p>If you keep your grades up, you should be able to get in.</p>

<p>It is hard to tell. If Michigan follows the typical Common Application trend, its applicant pool should swell to 47,000 next year. This should drop Michigan’s acceptance rate to under 35% and its OOS acceptance rate to under 30%. In other words, odds will not be good. </p>

<p>At this stage, playing the “chance me” game is not only silly but plain impossible. Apply EA and hope for the best.</p>
