I am a high school junior who is looking to be accepted to the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. Any Advice?

Academic record (in-state):

You’re in.
Here are the stats for freshman accepted in 2007:
Middle 50% GPA: 3.7-3.9.
Test score ranges of the middle 50%: SAT Verbal: 590 – 690. SAT Math: 630 – 730. ACT: 27 – 31
The only problem you may encounter is that you are OVERqualified. If you’re overqualified for the school, they might not think you’re entirely serious–that you’re applying just as a safety–and reject you. I really think you should apply to the Honors Program (which would solve that problem).
Ann Arbor is a great college town. Both my cousins went to U Mich there and LOVED it–one loved it so much she stayed there for grad school. Their academics–including math–are great.

AccuLength 2000 Series Junior Golf Set $179.95 AccuLength Series 2000 Series Junior Golf Set Accu-Length 2000 Series 4’1″ to 5’2 . As your child grows, so does the Accu-Length system with the 2000 series for kids who have been hitting golf balls for a few years, or those that are just starting. No other club on the market provides exact fitting for junior golfers, giving them the best chance to learn proper swing. Our 2000 series has a stiffer shaft for the growing golfer, with proper loft for maximum trajectory and distance. Set Includes: * 2000 Series Wood * 7-Iron * Pitching Wedge * Putter * Custom Golf Bag * Custom Assembly Tools 2 * Locking Screws 4 * Spacers additional 4 The Science Behind AccuLength Golf Clubs The Accu-Length golf club system was born out of the idea that many parents don’t want to buy new golf clubs for their children every year. It has been a four-year process of designing, patenting, testing and launching the Accu-Length Expandable Junior Golf Club System. The technology in the AccuLength expandable clubs is the patented shaft spacer system that allows you to add one inch of shaft length to accommodate your child’s growth. The average child grows two and a half inches per year, and professionals agree that for every two inches your child grows, an inch should be added to their club. So every year, your child gets a custom fit golf club. Accu-Length golf clubs have been exhaustively tested with a maximum of four spacers, so each club is designed to be used for up to five seasons. Additionally, each club has a “lock” at the top of the shaft that is designed to guarantee the grip will not unscrew or rotate during use. Head weight, loft and shaft flexibility are three very important elements to a quality junior golf club. Each set of Accu-Length golf clubs have been designed with proper head weights and lofts for the intended age group. As your child grows and their skills develop, the spacer system of the Accu-Length golf club actually stiffens the shaft, slowly easing the forgiveness of the club as the speed of your child’s swing speed increases. With high-quality, scratch-resistant stainless steel heads, your child will enjoy years of golfing fun with clubs built just like Dad’s.
