how did you come up with this list?
 
Low GPA and almost non-existent community service will likely doom your application. Your GPA is too low for UMichigan, and not having an employment history or any other evidence of campus involvement in the WAMC description doesn't give me confidence you have enough for a compelling PS or interview.
