<p>Hi forum, my name is Andrew and I’m in desperate need of some opinions and answers from those that know best. Basically, I’m a senior this coming year and I know that I have really messed up these past 2 years in HS. I’ve attended a private catholic HS in the Bay Area of California for 3 years now. All classes have been college level if that helps. I’m just going to cover basic things like GPA and EC and hopefully someone can help me discern if I have a future in college!</p>
<p>2 AP classes total
Freshman year GPA = 3.15.
Sophomore year GPA = 3.30
Junior year GPA = 3.0.
I’m aiming for a 4.0 my first semester of Senior year, however I don’t feel so confident that it will help, but I know I can pull it off. But my career GPA is about a 3.15</p>
<p>My SAT score was a 1900 and I have improved since I took the test, so I am hoping when I take it again this fall that I get around a 2000 or above.
My projected ACT score is about a 29-30 composite.</p>
<p>My extracurriculars are pretty good and I haven’t dabbled in too many different things so its not a mess of confusion. I have trained as a competition dancer for 5 years, as in I have received training from many different studios in the Bay Area and have won many awards for my performances. However, I am also a teacher of hip-hop at one of my studios and continue to take classes, and started my own successful crew and am the current moderator. I dance about 15+ hours a week and is the only hobby/EC I have done all through high school so far. My freshman year I started a Dance Club/Team at school and have kept it going since.
A separate EC is that I have started my own organization/“College Project” that is dedicated to the research and education of Celiac Disease, which I have. Although not much has been done with it, I am working feverishly this summer to get as much publicity as possible for my cause. This disease has caused a lot of trouble for me especially in HS and maintaining good grades since there were complications with it once I was diagnosed. I have much support for this project and I expect it to take off this summer with all the work I am putting into it.</p>
<p>Now that I have gotten all of that out of the way, the reason I am scared for college is because I don’t feel I will get into a “good” university. I am very interested in Criminology and Psychology, so I was thinking a college along those lines like UC Irvine or American University Washington. State and community schools are out of the question, I will never attend one because my parents will only support me if I attend a private school or university.</p>
<p>So is there a chance that I could get accepted into any of the colleges along these lines with the stuff I have listed above? All and any help/opinions are welcome, Thank you!</p>
