[Date] 1 year 25 weeks ago [Body] Your ACT indicates that you're scoring in the 90th percentile. A 29 shows that you're capable, but not spectacular. Improve that score. Believe it or not, the gap between a 29 and a 31 is pretty big. That's about test taking strategy and time management. UM wants to see a 32 - 36. That's 97th - 99th percentile. Take the test in the fall, don't take it in December unless you have to. The December test is the, "Oh crap I need a better score," test, and seniors flock to take it then. If you get the exact same number of questions right in October and in December, you'll have a lower score in December because you're competing within a percentile, and the bigger the pool of competitors, the tougher it gets to get that high score you want. Get a summer job. Clubs are fine, but part-time jobs reflect well on responsibility and handling the pressure of employment and education. It adds a little bit to your application that others don't think about. Above all, if you get into Michigan and it's your dream school, take it. You'll never regret going. Is it a far drive? Yes. Is it expensive? Yeah, it is. Is it your dream school? Is a Michigan degree worthwhile? If you answered yes to those questions, just go for it. You don't want to spend your life saying, "I was accepted," you want to spend your life saying, "I graduated from there." You'd regret not going. [Title]
