[ *) Location/Person: Singapore
[ *] State or Country: Singapore

[ *] major strength/weakness: I didn’t do much leadership during 11th and 12th grade, which I kind of regret now. I’m hoping the SATS and 9/10th grade achievements can help overlook this.
[ *] Other Factors/questions: I’m taking the GCE A levels at the end of this year, how should I take that into account? I also have to be deferred, since I have to do a compulsory National Service (Military) for two years, which means that I’ll be applying to enter in Spring/Summer 2013.</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>^^If all of that is true (you seem too accomplished) then I think you’ve got a very good chance at Ross pre-admit.</p>
<p>^What system of grading does your school use? This is the most important criterion used to assess you. What will they be looking at instead of your GPA?</p>
<p>My school uses ABCDE for each individual subject, there isn’t a ‘composite’ score. I’m thinking they’ll mainly look at my A-levels when i get the results.</p>

<p>lewisstrawberry - slight reach, OOS but decent SAT and GPA. If you emphasize your internships, your application might be a bit more appealing.</p>
<p>spartan3 - slight reach. Decent GPA but work on that ACT. Unless you’re trying to get recruited for atheletics, I wouldn’t really emphasize sports [unless you can relate sports to one of Michigan’s essays which is definitely plausible]</p>
<p>hey_hey2008 - Match for Michigan LSA. Not sure about Prepharm.</p>
<p>input1010 - Match, Lots of AP, good ACT, decent GPA</p>
<p>rharan5930 - Reach, Work hard your junior year to raise that gpa and sat. If you make it unweighted 3.7,2000 your chances would be much better because of your course load.</p>
