<p>try to get your GPA up above 3.8 or it will be very hard for you to get into UM...being OOS doesn't help you either</p>

3

<p>reach.....</p>

4

<p>Huge reach. As far as improving your grades go, it's all up to how much work you put into school. Be sure you take AP/IBs as a junior. Honors don't mean very much; AP/IB will be the classes admissions officers will look to when examining your course load.</p>

5

<p>huge reach as of right now, you need to take some harder courses and get more As. 3.4 gpa on a OOS isnt gonna do it.</p>

6

<p>get all a's in junior year and take a whole bunch of ap's in senior year, they see workload and u might get accepted, even if u get all b's i think u are still in. so overdo ur senior year take like 5 or 6 aps</p>
