I am out of state and applying to the University of Michigan, and early action. I would appreciate any feedback about my chances for admission to the Computer Science program in the College of LSA instead of through the College of Engineering. I may opt for computer science engineering later, but for now I believe the Computer Science - LSA program offers me more of what I am interested in pursuing academically and career wise.

I have the following:

4.64 weighted GPA;

3.87 unweighted GPA (got a couple B+s as a freshman);

3.91 scholastic GPA (scholastic GPA is on my transcript and calculated by my high school to exclude non-academic classes like PE and sports grades).

Earned all A’s in sophomore and junior years in all honors and AP classes. My senior year course load is 5 AP courses and wrestling. I am currently earning all A’s.

Class Rank 19 out of 600 top 3.2%. Fairly competitive high school in Southern California.

SAT 1480 (760 math, 720 r&w) (Note: I took SAT twice. 1480 is second and most recent score. My first test score was 1320 taken as a sophomore to experience the test and to shake some "first time" butterflies. I took it cold and did not study for it.

AP Scholar with Distinction.

Work Experience: I did a summer internship program this last summer with a corporate IT department learning JavaScript and HTML coding. Also assembled PC hardware with software from scratch.

2 years with high school wrestling team in my sophomore and junior years; I was league champion 2016-2017 season which also earned a spot at CIF Championships; Tournament Gold Medal winner. Earned varsity letter junior year. My name will be permanently affixed in high school gym for becoming league champion.

Other ECs include various volunteer work, on-line computer coding classes during summer.

Ethnicity - Hispanic

Thank you so much in advance for your time.
