<p>You are probably going to get a hefty scholarship, or at least have a shot in getting into the honors college. You should definetly get in. I think you also have a 50-50 chance at being a Ross Pre-Admit. You should definetly apply.</p>

<p>How many AP or honor classes did you take?</p>

<p>During my sophomore year I could only take Honors Algebra 2. I didn’t get into Honors English, and our school didn’t have any other honors or AP classes for me available to take that year. During my junior year I took AP Psychology, AP US History, Honors Spanish 4, Honors Physics, Honors Pre-Calc, and English. Senior year I plan to take AP Spanish 5, AP Calc BC, AP Statistics, AP Physics, AP Economics, Honors College Business, Literature, Composition, Government.</p>

<p>I would say safety. </p>

<p>GPA is fine (I had roughly a 3.8 as well), ACT is phenomenal. ECs are solid as well. Two things you need to do now:</p>

<p>1) Write good essays. Specifically, let your personality shine (cliche, I know). They can see that you are a good, responsible student from the rest of your app, so focus on non-academics in your essays (for instance, which ec did you enjoy most? Why? etc)</p>

<p>2) Apply Early Apply Early Apply Early Apply Early. Michigan uses rolling admissions. If they get your app early and have a lot of spaces left, they will be like “hey, she’s cool, good numbers, and we have a lot of spots. Sounds good.”</p>

<p>Nice job…good luck!</p>
