<p>I was just curious if anyone could offer some insight about what schools I should be looking at. Here’s my story:</p>
<p>Graduated from h.s. w/ crap grades in 2001, and continued on to drop out/fail out of two schools in upstate New York. Since then I’ve worked a variety of different jobs, living in New York, Massachusetts and Florida.</p>
<p>Last summer I moved to Washington state where I’ve been attending community college and have a 3.96 GPA; planning on graduating with an A.A. in the spring. Applying to schools for the fall '08.</p>
<p>Some things to consider…</p>
<p>GPA- 3.96 </p>
<p>SAT’s- a more than lackluster 1070/1600…however many schools (including UVa and Georgetown) do not require them, as I’ve been out of high school for more than 5 years.</p>
<p>24 years old (non-traditional student)</p>
<p>know of 2 proffessors who could provide excellant reccomendations</p>
<p>I’m sure I could put together an interesting essay drawing on experiences I’ve had while out of school</p>
<p>School’s I’m looking at:</p>
<p>University of Washington
NYU
USC
UCLA
Georgetown
UVa</p>
<p>It’s worth noting my stepfather’s a law school alum out of UVa, which according to the admissions office qualifies me for in-state status regarding admissions consideration. (This is by far my first choice, hope it helps me out)</p>
<p>That’s all the relevant information I can think of at the moment. Any guesses as to my chances with these schools? Any other suggested schools?</p>
<p>Thanks in advance for any help, I really appreciate it!</p>
