<p>My son is in 11th grade. Emphasis is on science courses; physics, chemistry, bio, Calculus AB/BC. Completed AP Bio (5) and AP Chem (4). Taking cal AB now. Planning AP Physics, AP Psychology and Cal BC in senior yr. Maintaining a 3.94 UW GPa. (Hoping to maintain >3.85 UW after 12th garde). ACT 29. Planning on Premed track. With this background from a popular Michigan HS, his chances of getting into UofM is good. Can any past Michigan HS students doing premed track can comment on the success of a kid with this back ground with UW HS GPA ~3.9? What can be their projected GPA in LSA? I know that college is no HS.</p>
<p>That really depends on the current rigor of his hs and how well he has been prepared to work/study and how resourceful in getting help. The graduating average is a little over 3.2 in LSA overall. There are a lot of tough weeder classes in premed courses.
ACT of 29 is in a mid-to-low ish range for umich and he will have many peers with 32-plus. But work/study habits can match or overtake aptitude. He would likely fall into the category of equipped for success, but in the end, that will have more to do with his drive than ability, because he will be among peers of equal or greater capability.</p>
<p>(Not premed parent, btw, but recently saw grad averages and have a g/t kid graduating this year.)</p>
<p>Thank you for the comments</p>
