Ross pre-admission is very competitive, but you should have no problem getting into LSA first from in state.

As a Native with your stats, you should be admitted just about anywhere. I really like the fishing ECs and especially the long term involvement! I would also apply to Wharton/Penn and MIT (though your ACT is a little low). My son has a friend with similar stats (actually, yours are better) who was admitted preferred to Ross and he had no hooks, also ones with slightly better but no athletics admitted as well, so you have a very good chance. Did you take calc yet? Good luck and go Blue!

@TooOld4School thank you very much! I am applying to wharton and MIT but Ross is my first choice (great school, die hard michigan fan, close to home, cheapest option) I have taken calc AB and am taking AP calc BC my senior year.
