Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>I'm applying to ross preadmit, just wanna know if you guys think i have a shot at all</p>

<p>Michigan resident, white male, 11th grade</p>

<p>mom graduated from michigan law school, dad got his mba at michigan (hopefully this helps a lot?)</p>

<p>ACT: composite 35 (E:35 M:35 R:36 S:32 W:9)
PSAT: 223, commended for national merit, should be a semi finalist but they haven't announced it yet
SAT: taking next week</p>

<p>GPA: 3.7 UW, 3.98 W (ranked like 70th which is really bad, didn't try sophomore year, but my school just stopped reporting rank so this should help me too?)</p>

<p>taken 5 AP's since freshman year, taking 5 senior year (lit, micro, stats, chem, gov)</p>

<p>I got 1 C+, in precalc, and i have more A's than B's, but my grades aren't as good as all of yours :(</p>

<p>EC's: Just got a job as an ACT tutor for Princeton Review
Work at a resteraunt in a retirement home 14 hours a week
Volunteer every week teaching a sunday school class of 5th graders since 8th grade.
Leadership position at summer in the city, a volunteer group that goes to detroit 4 times a week in the summer and paints murals (volunteered last summer, just got picked to lead a site for this summer) </p>

<p>In NHS, since freshman year i'v done pole vaulting for 1 year (varsity), Basketball for 2 (freshman and jv), Football for 1 (freshman), Lacrosse for 3 (jv and varsity), and tennis for 2 (varsity, varsity captain). I also won the state championship in engineering this year, i know thats not business related but hopefully it's impressive.</p>

<p>Essays will be excellent (i love english and am very creative), and my recs are both coming from teachers who went to michigan and love me, as does my councelor who i am very close with.</p>

<p>So here's the final question: do my grades kill me when it comes to preadmit?
or do test scores, legacies, and EC's save me?</p>

<p>Thank you for chancing me!!</p>

<p>Your GPA doesn’t kill you. Ross’ GPA range is like 3.7-4.0. However, you stats do make up for it and so does your legacy (though I don’t know how they do it). If you continue your sports and can get recruited, you have a great chance.</p>

<p>thanks! i’ll be trying out for ultimate frisbee but i won’t be recruited for any sports. Anybody else?</p>

<p>lol 242 people read this and nobody has an opinion?! can somebody who got in or works there or has some knowledge help me out?</p>

<p>I’m in a similar boat as you. My gpa is 3.7 UW, even though it was because I took a lot of AP’s and slacked off freshman year. Your EC’s definitely make up for it though, and I think you have a good shot at Ross. Apply EA and if you get deferred, show them that you can keep all A’s with that senior courseload and you should be in no problem</p>
