I'd say pretty good chances, as your test scores are great. However, the gpa might be a little low; what is your class rank? EC's are pretty good, and U Mich likes to see varsity sports so definitely play tennis next year. I don't know if they care about middle school EC's, however. If you apply early, I'd say you have a very strong chance of being admitted.

SAT IIs are not required, but you can certainly list them on the application form and 800s look damn good! 1530 SAT is awesome. 5s in AP Chem and Physics. Dude, apply in September and you will most likely get in. Your GPA is your only weakness, but I still think you have a good chance of getting into Michigan.
