<p>Oh, and I forgot to mention that this summer I'm going to be a Governor's Page for a week</p>

<p>It really will all depend on ACT and SAT scores. GPA and rank is not spectacular but as long as you get a decent test score you should be fine.</p>

<p>Your ECs are definitely solid, but your GPA is lacking. To even be competitive for preadmission, you will need a strong GPA and test scores. However, preadmit for Ross is a shot in the dark, and it's incredibly hard to gauge your chances, though you could always look at the Ross Decisions thread to see how well you stack up with those who got in.</p>

<p>Talking to people around here (I live in Ann Arbor) it seems they think that it's more important that people have experience with business in some form (beyond just a part-time job in high school). Something like starting your own business would be something that they would consider to be a huge deal, where as a 36 ACT or getting all As in your APs isn't. Atleast that's how it seems to me.</p>
