I also really enjoy playing my instrument for various occasions, I have played in the football marching band, NYS virtuosi band and the graduation band. When I apply to colleges I may want to tryout for the marching band.


My essays will be strong as well as my recommendations.

I have visited UMich recently so they know I am strongly interested. Thanks guys.

Your GPA and ACT are below the Michigan means and you are out of state. I'd say Michigan is a realistic reach for you. If you can improve your ACT to 30 or 31, your chances will be improved, but your Sophomore GPA hurts you.

Thanks man, I'm hoping for a 29-31 on my ACTs. The last semester before college in my senior year I will hopefully get all A's.
