I’m a Junior (sort of) in North Jersey. My GPA is something like 3.8, unweighted. And I have a pretty high class rank, not totally sure what it is though. By the time I graduate I’ll have only 2 AP courses under my belt, US History and Gov. and Politics. The rest of my classes were all on level, but I got A’s in everything. The only reason I didn’t take harder classes was because I couldn’t with what I planned to do my Junior year in high school. I played soccer freshman year, ran on the track team in sophomore year. I was in a few clubs: International Weekend, FEA, Academic Bowl, French club. And I pretty much bombed the SAT’s, 1600 on the new version. I’ll taken them again, but I don’t really expect to do much better. I didn’t exactly learn anything Junior year that would help me do better. Oh yeah- I am a Rotary exchange student in Japan for an entire year. I’m not fluent in Japanese, but I can carry on a conversation and be understood. I also attended the Presidential Inauguration and served as a Student Ambassador to Australia. I’m planning on taking a Gap Year to either be an exchange student in a Spanish speaking country, work, or travel around for a year.
I’d love to go to SDSU, but do I have much of a chance being an out-of-stater with my credentials?
