I've just kinda been wondering this...
I currently have a 3.4 average gpa at a highschool in the top 3% in the country. My states standardized tests (the MEAP, etc.) put me in the top 90-95% in all subjects. I'm dual enrolled with highschool and community college computer programming classes where I hold a B or above at all times. I've played soccer every fall, crew every winter, and switched off between crew and soccer in the spring. I help out at my church on a weekly basis. I've done lots of helping at things like soup kitchens, etc.. I also participate in band class and am in Spanish III. I'm a year ahead in math classes and am in honors science/english. Is this a decent application for colleges like:
-University of Michigan
-University of Virginia (I have 2 immediately family relatives and a slightly more distant one as well who went there which is something they look for)
-Michigan State
-Possibly any Ivy Leagues if possible?

3.4 gpa thats decent because of people from outside the country the probably have a 4.0 but your other circular activaties make it up so maybe I would accept you

if you're going for ivy leagues, and want to do programming try stanford. If possible, raise your grades up as high as possible the rest of the time you have, and do a bit of volunteering, enroll in leadership programs, run for student council president or a club president, etc.
I assure you you can do it.

expand on that. you only listed one thing.
Make the whole thing longer. It's a little short. Say why you want to go to their college.
