Currently a junior in a small town high school south of Lansing. I’ve been going to UMich every year about twice a year for my cochlear implant programming and annual surgery post-op appointments and as a result, i would love to go there as I really love the campus and the people I met there.
Grades are as follows:
Freshman Year
Biology: A
Geometry: A

Junior year (current year, school runs on trimesters and I’m in the beginning of the third trimester at the time of posting)
Precalculus Functions- A- (one trimester)
Spanish 4: A (Currently in 4B)
Photoshop: A
Yearbook: A- both trimesters
Personal Finance: A
Physics: B+ first trimester, A second trimester
LINK (Peer to Peer support): A
World Lit: A (currently in B)
Currently taking this trimester:
Psychology of adult living
Precalc Trig
World lit B
Yearbook C
Spanish 4B
I believe I will finish with all A’s in these classes, A- in two at the worst.
Senior year is currently scheduled with:
AP Chem, AP Calc, Yearbook, AP Spanish online, required composition and media lit. Plus one elective as I’ll test out of civics this summer since they removed it from my schedule (junior year schedule).
However, I feel too much stress with three AP so I’m planning on just doing AP calc and AP Spanish plus yearbook. The required English courses and take some leadership classes, do LINKS again, law 2, and web page design.
The main question is would I hurt my chances if I only did 2 AP my senior year instead of 3? The reason for dropping AP Chem is due to my schedule being all core classes (14 classes) and only one elective. Plus with a part time job and extra curricular activities for a few clubs I didn’t feel comfortable doing three AP.
My PSAT score is for the NEW SAT and I got 1200/1520 which was 89th or 90th percentile depending on which subject.
Thank you in Advance!
