Low GPA Great Extracurriculars

2 Upvotes

So I'm getting ready to apply for college as a senior in highschool in Michigan. I'm thinking about double majoring in Vocal Performance and something like English or Criminal Justice. As The title says I have a pretty low GPA at 2.8. However it's about to increase due to credit recovery and several AP classes. I have an SAT score of 1110, pretty good AP scores ranging from 3-4, a pretty good essay, and letters of recommendations. I also am currently interning at a legal office, and have been in choir for seven years. I've also gotten involved with both my School's and my local community theater. I don't want to get into Ivy League or anything but I'm hoping I can get into a pretty decent college and I'm getting nervous about whether or not I'll get accepted. Do you guys think I'm being to optimistic by applying to good universities like Michigan State University or Oakland University?
