I am a first-generation college student and come from a middle class family.

I had mostly A’s with the occasional B. But, I did have one C my first semester of senior year in AP Lit :frowning:

I had a very good near-death experience to write about for my Common App Essay, which I feel came out fantastic.

Extracurriculars: 4 year Varsity Baseball (twice Captain and thrice MVP) and ASB Vice President along with MANY others that may require lengthy descriptions.

Recommendations: The two that I read were EXCELLENT.

In all honesty, I know some of the schools I am applying to are absolute stretches, but that is fine with me. I do appreciate any and all feedback, no matter how brutally honest !!

Why are you naming differing majors for each school? Do you want to determine your career by acceptance?

3

My prospective career involves various disciplines that include economics, statistics, or business. I am interested in all of them so I am leaving my options open by doing this.

4

So where does journalism fit into that?

5

Specifically, I am looking at getting into baseball and a lot of sports journalists who incorporate statistics in their writing get to the point I hope to be at eventually. Can you trust me that I know what I’m doing…I just wanted feedback on my list, not to get picked apart for my choices of major. Thank you!

6

With an unweighted GPA of 3.6, all of these schools are going to be a big reach. Syracuse is the exception. Your stats put you in the 78% range.

7

I strongly believe you will make it into UCSB statistics major.
