Michigan's my dream school, i'm applying during the early round. My question is, can i get away with a relatively easy senior courseload based on my stats?
These are all UMN courses..
This summer (7hrs of class per week):
CHEM 1011 Intro Chemistry: Lecture and Laboratory (4 cr)
POL 3085 Quantitative Analysis in Political Science (4 cr)
So next fall, my senior year, i think i'm only taking three classes (16hrs of class per week):
SPAN 3015 Spanish Composition and Communication (3 cr)
SPAN 3021 Advanced Communication Skills (4 cr)
SOC 3711 Principles of Social Organization (4 cr)

Volunteering
Approximately 400 hours of community service between 9th and 10th grade. I volunteered in the school library and at a local hospital.
College Courses
9th grade: 5 credit UMN Hebrew 1001 course. Summer before 10th grade: 5 credit intermediate Spanish course. 10th grade: 5 credit UMN Hebrew 1002 course. (Credits go towards a U of M degree; grades do not)
*This is also the reason why I skipped Spanish IV in high school.
