<p>I'm also interested in business/economics, so are there any schools with good business schools that I would have a realistic chance of getting into?</p>
<p>I would say your chance is amazing. I know a girl who got in with an ACT of 28, so yours is good. She was also valedictorian, and your ECs are pretty solid. Well done, and good luck 
CLASS OF 2015 SENIORS!!!</p>
<p>Thanks! I also think you have a great chance of getting into state</p>
<p>@jmw1131 Your ACT and GPA are very nice for Michigan the only thing that could possibly hurt you is that your EC’s are pretty general and lack depth. However, michigan doesn’t for EC’s as much as some other school’s, so I say that you will get in. I am going to post my chances on your thread soo chance me back :DDDDD ? </p>

Pep Club 9th grade - We painted signs for the school such as: “Football Game Versus SOUTH! Bring your School Spirit!”
Student Council 9th – 10th – 85 hours in total. Was on Homecoming Committee, and a few others.
Scholastic Bowl 9th -12th My favorite EC. It’s a mix between family feud and jeopardy with two teams from two different schools competing with one another. I was the best on the Junior Varsity team this year (11th) scoring the most points out of everyone. I will be next year’s varsity captain. My coach told me that I would have been on Varsity any other year besides this one, since this year’s team was VERY good. They were this year’s divisional champs. I have many goals for this team next year, (including becoming regional champs) and I might write my college essay on this.
Newspaper 11th -12th – Joined this year, and found that I love it. Even though we stayed at school until 9PM during every single Production week. I also became Sci-Tech-Health Editor, an important position of leadership.
Tennis 11th-12th – Tennis IS SO MUCH FUN! I regret not joining as a Freshman. At least the coach said I improved a lot despite our very short season due to the weird weather.
Key Club 11th – 12th Volunteering group
6 Hours of Volunteering on Primrose Farm for the “Primrose Farm Frolic!” I was assigned with supervising children on hay rides.
25 Hours of Tutoring children at the local middle school in math, English, science, and social studies. I will be the “Head Tutor,” a leadership position chosen by the school’s principal. I will be in charge with coordinating which days tutoring will be available and which students need the most help. (I will still be tutoring kids hands on)
Science Olympiad 11th -12th We engage in science competitions against other schools. The competitions include disciplines of science, such as astronomy, chemistry, etc. I won two awards on the Science Olympiad team. We won 6th at regionals, and went to state where we placed 12th.
Science Honor Society
Spanish Honor Society- 1 hour of tutoring SO FAR
I will also apply for different honor societies such as NHS, math, English, social studies during senior year… but I don’t know if it will matter or not.
Mosque- My very strict teacher taught me how to read the Quran beautifully in Arabic, an important milestone in any religious muslim’s life. I eventually become good enough to compete against other muslims from different mosques.
[ *] Other Issues/Questions:
Took rigorous classes throughout HS
Overall, I am unsure of whether I have a shot at getting in. Please be Honest, BRUTALLY HONEST if you must.
Don’t be afraid of criticizing me. Also, any tips on how I can improve are GREATLY appreciated.
[ *] Senior Year Classes: AP Calc AB, AP Macroecon, AP Govt, AP Bio, AP Lit, AP Spanish, PE IV (PE is required)
[ *] Awards:
4th place JV Astronomy @ Huntley
1st place JV Astronomy @ Regionals
3rd Place Masonic Scholastic Bowl (Played on Varsity for this tournament)
Best on the JV Scholastic Bowl team
Top 10 scholastic bowl player @ Fenton out of 109 players
JV Team Scholastic Bowl Record 9-1
We lost one game because 2 good players had a big orchestra concert.
We won other awards last year and this year (mostly 1st place) but I don’t know the names of each tournament, so I will dig around to find those.
MSI – Selected in the Qirat Competition
I am a Muslim. I learned how to read the Quran in Arabic just as everyone in our Sunday School Mosque did. I beat the 14 students of my grade at the local mosque, then moved on to the regional competition where I lost in the “Qirat Competition.” This competition scores you on tajweed (grammatical accuracy), and pronunciation. It is much harder than most will think.
MSI- At my Sunday School I won an award for Quranic Studies
I also won one for Islamic Studies
I understand that Quranic and Islamic Studies are VERY Generic terms
8th Grade – President’s Award (May as well list this 
)</p>
<p>@Whatfreak123 Don’t hijack other’s thread. Start your own. You are going to confuse other people.
Also, don’t bump other’s thread.</p>
<p>I think you’re UMichigan chances are stellar! Everyone I know got in with much less impressive stats</p>
