<p>Okay so I am a Junior in High School
here are my stats</p>
<p>GPA:3.61
ACT:29
SAT:1290
SAT w/ writing:2000</p>
<p>am going to take SAT II subject tests.</p>
<p>am involved in numerous community service activities.</p>
<p>-NHS
_Competitive Swimming
-Capitain of Community Service Group at school
-Section Leader of Marching Band
-Attend numerous Honors Bands and Summer Camps
etc.</p>
<p>Schools I am considering.</p>
<p>.Michigan State University
.University of Michigan
.University of Chicago
.Loyola Chicago
.Kalamazoo College
.Cornell University
.Brown University(DREAM!!! =], even if its not a reality.)</p>
<p>Brown, Cornell and Chicago are reaches. But you could retake the SAT/ACT and see if you increase your chances. Is there a chance you could be recruited to swim for one of those schools?</p>
<p>I think that there might be a chance that i might minor in music. i like i said I have attended places such as Interlochen, and am very involved in music.</p>
<p>My school is also one of the most competitive schools and UofM is aware of it.</p>
<p>I even heard rumors that Michigan might add points onto your hs gpa(.2 even).</p>
<p>and they take off freshman grades, so that would bring me to a 3.65 plus additional points for the rigor of my high school.</p>
<p>Increase your list by adding another safety (assuming you have one) and another good match so you at least have a choice or two in the end. There were many surprises for the grad. class of 2008…lots of waitlisted students at their preferred schools-regardless of the competitive edge for high school name.</p>
