Do I stand a chance at getting into U of M for a major in Architecture?

Im a junior in high school and recently have been studying for my ACT's. It seems that i get a lot wrong on my math, and thats misleading because i thought i was good at math. Im one of the top students in my class and have maintained a 3.7-ish GPA throughout high school, this year being my best (all a's many over 100%), but it still seems like not enough. I do track, have held a part time job, participate in numerous art projects and architecture competitions, but i am still worried. Im notorious for my writing and artistic skills, but i still feel like nothing i do will ever be enough. HELP ME!!!

U of M?

Do you mean University of Maine?
University of Maryland?
University of Mississippi?
University of Minnesota?
University of Michigan?
University of Massachusetts?
University of Montana?

Perhaps you even mean University of Memphis or University of Miami?

It is kind of hard to give you an answer when you don't ask a clear question. Since most of the U of M schools are also public universities, it would also help to know if you are a resident.

That being said, if your GPA of 3.7 is unweighted, then you have a shot at all of the U of M schools listed above. If it is weighted, then Michigan, Maryland and Minnesota may be a stretch -- especially if you are a nonresident.

Learn to be more clear, and give more information the next time you ask a question.
