University of Michigan???
Be honest:
White OOS female.
Applied RD because I wanted to take the ACT after the EA deadline.
SAT: 2140 (640 CR, 730 writing, 770 math)
ACT: 32 (E 35, M 30, R 34, S 28, Writing 10/12).
GPA: 3.7/4.0W. (the biggest concern w/ my app)
-My school does not report unweighted GPAs because it is a very academically competitive school. Additionally, honors and AP classes are weighted equally with five extra points, whereas some schools make AP classes worth ten extra points.
-My gpa is particularly low because of one bad grade in an honors math class (High C). All of my other classes are fine. I dropped halfway through the year and got better grades but it still stands out and negatively affected my gpa.
-I took multiple honors classes and one AP class during my junior year.
-I did not submit my AP scores.
Senior year courses:
AP literature & composition
AP government & politics
AP environmental science
AP Spanish VI
Calculus
ECs:
Emergency Medical Technician for two years
-Over 900 community service hours.
-I was also recently elected to be the “Senior Cadet Leader”, meaning I’m in charge of all of the other EMTs that are in high school.
-Have spent some time co-instructing my old EMT class, in which I earned the highest grade.
National Honor Society
-Was given an award for having the most community service hours out of all of my peers.
Shadowed a plastic surgeon over the summer.
Soccer
-Captain of the JV team as a freshman
-Named “Most Improved” on Varsity during sophomore year
-Junior and senior year, I was a Varsity starter.
-Played for a club team that won two state championships, one of which was hosted by a national soccer league (USYS National Championship Series State Cup Championship). The team was ranked among the top ten teams for my age group in the country.
Varsity track & field athlete since freshman year.
*****My dad attended UMich’s business school, if that helps at all.
I emailed my state rep (NJ) and told her that Michigan is my #1 and will definitely attend if I get in, and she said that she looked forward to reviewing my app. Hopefully this helped?
Michigan is by far my first choice and I don’t know what I’m going to do if I don’t get in.
