<p>unweighted gap - 4.0
ACT - 28 (32 on math) am taking again with actual preparation this time…
1st team all conference in soccer and basketball…
Lead in drama productions…
Essays are well above average, according to several reviews…
Interest is in engineering…
Mission trips (3), lots of volunteering…
Student council 4 years and student body president…
School is small and private and offers no AP classes, but I have taken the hardest classes offered…
Will this hurt?
Match? Reach? Safe?</p>
<p>Are you a female?
Are you in state?
Are you a URM?</p>
<p>It may just be because of the limited opportunities at your HS, but you have no ECs related to engineering but you said that is what you are interested in.</p>
<p>Also, this isn’t just you, but I find it interesting when posters on here haw UW GPAs of 3.9 or 4.0 and then just average ACT scores. That either says something about the school or student, neither of which will help you.</p>
<p>Honestly, those first three questions I asked will matter a lot here. Also, however Michigan views your HS and how well they understand the limited opportunities you have.</p>
<p>could mean that they are a hard worker (class rank could clear that up though)</p>
<p>or a bad test taker</p>
<p>A composite ACT of 28 is 91 percentile nationally. A 32 on math is 97th percentile. Not having an EC that relates to your proposed major doesn’t seem like a hurdle. Soccer, Baseball, Student Council, Drama, mission trips…is a full plate for a high school student. To be diverse in your interests is not necessarily a negative.</p>
<p>@ThisIsMichigan - No, no, and no…School really has little to no engineering offerings. Class rank = 1 (but very small school <50 students in class)
As for the ACT, I did not study for the first one I took…I am studying alot for it now and taking it again in Oct which should bring composite up 1 or 2 points (practice tests have been as good as 31 composite)
As for the small high school, we have had graduated to schools like West Point, Duke, and the like…
Should I have a counselor/recommendation say something about the size of the school, in order to clear that up.
Thanks for your thoughts.</p>
