Hello, I’m currently a junior and i really want to get into UofM, but I feel like im gonna be below average in the application pool.

My HS offers 16 total AP classes, and by the end of my senior year, I’ll have taken only 4 APs and 4 honors classes:

AP language and composition
AP psych
AP literature
AP Euro
Honors English 9
Honors english 10
Honors Gov
Honors chem

I would have taken AP US history and AP gov, but at the HS that I went to for my 9&10th grade years didnt have any APs and my GC said it wouldnt make sense to retake it as an AP class if I already had the credits for those 2 classes. If I had gone to my current HS for all four years, i would have a total of 6 APs and 4 honors which is why I feel so behind.

I really want to get in, but a lot of my friends who are also applying to UMich have taken almost all the AP classes available at my school. If you got accepted (or rejected), how many APs did you have? Dont know whether or not I should give up on hoping that I’ll get in Im going to be applying EA to LSA, im in the top 12% of my class and im in-state, if that helps at all. Thanks
