<p>POSTING FOR MY SON</p>

<p>Decision: Accepted. LSA</p>

<p>College and Program: LSA</p>

<p>Stats
SAT I (by section): did not submit
SAT IIs: did not submit
ACT:30
APs:world History
IB: IB full diploma. HL Music, Bio, Psychology
GPA (UW, W): 3.83/4.27
Rank: no rank at school, but probably top 10%
[ *] Other stats:
ECs listed on app: started patient support group for survivors of blood clots in the lungs (as he suffered two nearly fatal episodes), Latin club, Wind ensemble
Job/Work Experience: Worked at Harvard Medical School and nonprofit organization in Boston this summer
Essays (subject and responses): Made his teachers cry because of the passion he showed about overcoming adversity. He was very specific on his supplemental essays in what Michigan had that attracted him (a very strong Classics Program)
Teacher Recs: superb; in addition he had a superb letter from a physician at Harvard Medical School who is the world’s authority in his field
Counselor Rec: Superb- she has known him for 10 years
Applied EA
Hook (if any): Biggest hook is his history- he has a rare medical condition and has overcome every obstacle in life.<br>
[ /list][ b]Location/Person:[ /b][ list]
State or Country: Florida
School Type:Private school
Ethnicity: Asian
Gender:Male
Income: in the top 2%
[ /list][ b]General Comments/Congratulations/Venting/Commiserations,etc: </p>

<p>Strengths: grades, rigor of curriculum (looks like the two most important factors for Michigan), essays, recs, and his ability to portray his history but not look for pity- he clearly stated that no obstacle will hold him back from his desire to pursue a career in medicine. He also is passionate about community service.</p>

<p>Weaknesses: ACT could be a little higher, may not look like he has a lot of EC, but he makes up for it by the depth of his commitments (which also include helping care for a brother with autism).</p>

<p>My son is so excited, especially after all he has been through. He (and I) wish all of you the best in your search- don’t chase the reputation, but be happy with the feel of the college.</p>

<p>General Comments: I’m very happy I got accepted, but I still hope UM offers merit scholarship for my credentials. It seems that UM focuses on objective data for admission, but who knows. Congratulations to all those admitted, and good luck to everyone who was deferred. I hope everyone gets into the college of their dreams.</p>
