<p>Oh the joys of living in the 734 and going to an AAPS feeder school. I’ll probably be deferred though.
3.74 UWGPA, 32 ACT, 800 French, 770 US History, 750 Spanish.</p>
<p>How much weight does Michigan put on the schedule’s rigor? Honestly, at any other school an unweighted 3.5 taking 50% AP/Honors would be better than a 4.0 taking all SL classes, but people seem to think that that’s not how Michigan looks at it at all. That can’t be true, can it? That would be kinda asinine</p>
<p>chance me please!</p>

I wanted to do something a little more unique but I think it might come back to bite me on the ass.)</p>
<p>Recs: I never read them, I presume they were great though.</p>
<p>You should be fine. If anything you could be deferred because of your test scores. Even so, I’d say you’ll end up gaining admission sometime before all of this is over. Unless they saw some huge red flag, you have a decent shot.</p>
