Hi, so I’m a junior and I REALLY want to go to UMich-Ann Arbor but I want to know my chances so I don’t get my hopes up for an unrealistic dream. I’m going to apply to other colleges but my top choice (and probably hardest to get into) is UMich. Let me know if you think I have a chance! Thanks!

-Cancer Survivor-
Well, I can’t call myself a “survivor” yet because I’m only 3 months into remission but in the early fall of Junior year (this school year) I was diagnosed with Stage 3 Ovarian Cancer. I had to undergo 4 rounds of chemotherapy and was out of school for 4 months. I put stars next to the things that effected like my job (I haven’t working since September but I still have my job), I couldn’t try out for club volleyball, I dropped a few classes from my junior year so I could catch up on AP Chem and other classes, and I missed officer elections for the clubs I’m in like Key Club (i know I would’ve been an officer) and missed Holly Hanging completely. I also had to self teach myself a lot of things this year in school in math and English and other classes.
So a lot of the things I was planning on doing this year were postponed/cancelled because I was in isolation(literally).
I hope this won’t make me look lazy or put lower on the list to be accepted in U Mich.
Please Chance me!! Thank you!!
