<p>You know the rules, yeah, this is one of the hundreds of chance threads in this forum. </p>

<p>Here are my stats:</p>

<p>Michigan Resident</p>

<p>HS GPA: 2.87(I was a really really really really bad student). No AP’s a few Accelerated courses.</p>

<p>EC: Tennis Team, a member of the school’s symphonic Wind Ensemble for 4 years, Key Club, additional volunteering work.</p>

<p>ACT: 26</p>

<p>Current School: Freshman at the University of Michigan-Dearborn(Sister school of U of M-Ann Arbor, but far less prestigious). Currently enrolled in the School of Management.</p>

<p>College GPA: Looks like its gonna be around 3.3-3.4…taking only 13 credits this semester.</p>

<p>No EC’s at College</p>

<p>So…what are my chances for these schools for Fall 2008, OR raising my GPA to about 3.5-3.6 by the end of the year and applying for Winter 2009, OR attending another semester after my freshman year and applying for Fall 2009?</p>

<li>University of Michigan-Ann Arbor, LSA(My Dream…but I’m a failure…)</li>
<li>Michigan State University</li>
<li>Indiana University - Bloomington</li>
<li>Illinois Univeristy at Urbana Champaign</li>
<li>UCSD…maybe i’ll just apply here for fun.</li>
</ol>

<p>IU should be possible. MSU should be possible. UIUC should be simple as well as long as you have all the prerequisites. UM is worth a shot, as well.</p>

<p>You’re not a failure - believe.</p>

<p>I agree with openingdoors. You’re only inhibiting your chances if you keep thinking that you’re a failure. Just continue to work hard, raise your GPA, and join as many ECs as possible to increase your chances. Believe me, I’ve heard of a lot success stories about people who had poor high school records and worked hard to turn things around during college. Good luck! :)</p>

<p>any other advice?</p>

<p>Or should I stick to construction?</p>
