So we all know that December 23rd is the day that will change our lives forever. Ok not that dramatic, but I am worrying about my decision. I don’t know if it’s comparing my grades to people on this website who are awesome, or what. My teachers who are mostly U of M alums, as I’m from Michigan, seem to think I can get into U of M. What do you think?

I am Instate

Have a GPA of 3.9 UW

Ranked third in high school, two kids are tired for first, so I should be second 0_o

Got a 27 on my ACT (30 R, 28 E, 29 S, 24 M)

School offers no APs, so I take our hardest courses and I’m dual enrolled at a college. I take Chemistry 141, Calculus 1, and Intro Psy 131 in college.

ECs:

3 years Varsity track and field
2 years National Honor Society (60 volunteer hours various places)
2 years Science Olympiad
Attended Michigan Boys State
State semi-finalist for a structure I built in wood shop class.

My two teacher recs are from University of Michigan alumni and should be amazing.
My counselor rec is also really good.

My essays are extremely unique and personal.

I’m Arab, which is considered white, so I’m not an URM.

What should I expect come December 23rd?
