Answered

Hey guys,

I am going into my senior year of high school and go to pretty good high school in Illinois. My goal is to go to university of Michigan for a major in political science and minor in English. I feel as if I’m just average for U-M applicants and want to separate myself to seem above average. Any advice would be appreciated.

For my academics:

-I’ve gotten all As so far, my lowest grades were 2 A- during first semester freshman year.

-My wGPA is a 4.886/5.3 and uwGPA is a 4.15/4.3. And I think this means I’ll have a 4.0/4 GPA for admission process.

- During I junior year I received only 3 As and the rest A+s so my junior year wGPA was a 5.08.

-I have a 1450 on my SAT (710 math, 740 English)

-By the time I complete high school I will of completed 10 AP clases, 9 honors, and 1 Dual credit program with my local community college.

-I’ve gotten a 5 on both APUSH and AP human Geo

-I’m waiting on my AP Gov, Ap Macro, AP lang, and Ap Spanish lang scores .and next year I’m taking AP physics C, Ap Calc BC, and Ap Psych.

-I’ve also already received my Seal of biliteracy from the STAMP test.

For my E.C:

-I’m in Spanish honor society

-NHS

-Math honor society

-science honor society

-Joyful gifts club( we make gifts and do things for local children hospitals)

- I’ve been on varsity dive since freshman year and my swim and dive team has won sectionals 2 times.

- I have 51 service hours, I hope to have around 70-80 before I apply to college.

-I’ve worked at my dads restaurant for 2 years and during the peak of the pandemic I volunteered there, I didn’t get hours for it but I also didn’t get paid, helping pack and deliver free meals for my community. And I may write my college essay about this because I saw how hard hit my community was and how much a simple, free meal could change someone’s day and put a smile on their face.

Additionally- CV says I have a 49% chance of getting into U-M.

Again thanks for reading this and any advice would help.
