It will be a long shot for you, especially with more B’s than A’s. Your GPA weighs more heavily than your ACT score in the admissions process. And for the GPA they use to evaluate you, they will recompute it with only your core academic courses (i.e., your band grades will not be included in the calculation).
Every incoming freshman at umich comes in undeclared. You only declare a major after you have satisfactorily complete prerequisite courses as outlined by your department of interest. Your major of interest is not a factor in evaluating your application.
Well I should say that coming in undeclared is true in the majority of cases. The school you apply is meant to signify interest in a certain direction. Nursing school only has a nursing major, so if you apply to nursing school there is no question about what you are going to do. And I think music or art as well.
Otherwise, in the majority of cases, there would be prerequisites that have to be done in college before one can declare. They usually involve satisfactory completion of certain coursework, meeting a minimum GPA requirement, and being in good academic standing. The specifics vary by department. For biology, you pretty much complete most of the pre med requirements before you can declare.
Another thing to keep in mind is that if you are in high school and think you already have your heart set on a certain major, that can likely change after you start college. If you are intending on majoring in biology only because you are pre med and feel that you are obligated to, know that it absolutely is not necessary. If your goal is medical school, you are free to major in anything you want, as long as you take the prerequisite courses. If you go into LSA, you will have time freshman year to explore and figure out what you really like.
