<p>I own butterfly-host.com</p>
<p>Will have taken 7 AP courses with high Bs or As in all. What sucks is that this year (senior) I have As in all my APs cause I am taking 2 math APs, my best subject, so it wont reflect at all to colleges. Also, took the AP Bio test without taking the class and got a 3 on it...if that makes any difference.</p>
<p>I applied Nov 1 to LSA and also preferred admission to U of mich. Chance me please!</p>
<p>Your GPA and SAT are below average, but your class rank is impressive. I'd say Michigan is a slight reach for you. You definitely have a shot though. In terms of pre-admit, I assume you mean Ross. If that's the case, I'd have to say Ross is a reach.</p>
<p>Those mid 50% SAT scores are a couple of years old. Last year's were significantly higher. Most elites had leaps in their mean SAT scores in 2002 and 2003. Michigan experienced its first leap last year and should experience another leap this year. </p>
<p>By slight reach does that mean likely? because i know my GPA is low, but its the school GPA which messes it up. Its cumulative for 3 years. Doesn't U of Mich recalculate it? I really hope I get into U of mIch. </p>
<p>The way Michigan recalculates GPA doesn't usually benefit (or harm) the applicant. Michigan basically throws out Freshman year and only looks at academic classes taken during Sophomore and Junior year. By academic classes, I mean English, Math, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, History, Economics, foreign languages and a couple other classes I can't think of right now. Then, Michigan assigns a value of 4.0 for all A+s, As and A-s, 3.0 for all B+s, Bs and B-s, 2.0 for all C+s, Cs and C-s etc... Like I said, you most likely aren't going benefit from the way Michigan calculates GPA.</p>
<p>By slight reach I mean your chances won't be good, but they won't be horrible either. I'd say less than a 50% chance. Your chances for pre-admit status at Ross aren't good either. Ross pre-admit is much more selective than LSA admissions.</p>
<p>One thing that does stand out is your class rank. A top 5% class ranking is impressive and will help.</p>
<p>why cant you benefit from the UMich GPA, my UM gpa is higher then my school gpa, i have a 3.59 school gpa and 3.7 umich, clearly there is a significant difference, cant that help?</p>
<p>I said "usually". Some students have loads of -s (A-s and B-s). Those students will indeed benefit from Michigan's recalculating. Others have loads of +s. Those students will be hurt a little by Michigan's recalculating. But on average, people have almost as many -s as they have +s and as such, they will not benefiot one way or the other.</p>
<p>in that case I have (650V/680M/640W) For SAT as the highest SAT in one sitting. Secondly here is my business experience: Let me know my chances for preferred admission:</p>
<p>Business Resume</p>
<p>PAST BUSINESS EXPERIENCES
Computers
Freshman
Started my own computer making/computer repair small business from home.
Company was in profit and the following things were learned:
o One, people prefer to order computers from big companies such as Dell, because it is cheaper, while my business only could compete in high end computers such as gaming computers.
o Secondly, they feel safer to higher a professional service such as Geek Squad to fix their computer.
However, I had a great experience in how to build, fix and maintain computers effectively, which I believe is a must in any startup business.
Wholesale/Retail
Sophomore, Junior
After experience in the computer industry, I thought about a small retail business online or even a wholesale business.
After searching for continuous hours online for wholesalers, to provide me electronic products online, I found that greater amount of money was needed to start a retail/wholesale business.
I eventually, did not peruse this opportunity; however, I learned a lot from this experience as well.
o I most importantly learned in a business, a signed contract is the only effective way to hold a business partner to his or her word.
o Secondly, I learned that always make sure that in a business, your money is always safe and can be returned to your account if need be.<br>
