I love economics. I know that economics is my passion. Not sure yet if its Macro or Micro, but i know i have a thing for economics. Im referred to as a smart kid, but my grades don’t always prove that. I was extremely lazy sophomore year… More than I should have been. It basically destroyed my GPA. I am basically my own enemy.

I am very interested in NYU STERN(Early Decision), BOSTON UNIVERSITY, UCHICAGO, CORNELL,UC San Diego, RUTGERS, UT AUSTIN. Perhaps suggest some to me?

Anyways, Here are my very sad Stats

GPA: 3.41 UW (Because of Sophmore year in which i did terrible…)

SAT: 2260. 800 M 720 R 760 W

APs:
AP Computer Science - 5
AP US History - 5
AP Microeconomics- 5
AP Macroeconomics - 4
AP Physics- 5
AP Biology- 4
AP Euro- 5

Community Service: 300+, Letter from the Mayor.
Job: Worked at my School for 3 years doing IT Work.
Recommendations: Very Strong
Essay: I got a 100/100 from an AP Lit teacher at our school (I did not take AP Lit though). Very Personal and as memorable as possible

Clubs (* means leadership).
Quiz Bowl
Finance Club*
Debate Team
Junior Engineering Technical Society*
Latin Club* (On the Council for Latin club, even though i have never taken a latin class)
Project Interact
Ultimate Frisbee (Its a club at our school)
Stock Market Club
Biology Team
Physics Team
I also have several varsity letters for academics. I dont know if that play a role in the application process or not
Sadly no sports for my school…

Im scared I won’t get accepted anywhere because of my GPA. By the end of my first semester of senior year it will be 3.6 (i guarantee it), but even that is very low. You Guys have helped out so many others, please help me out guys. Im losing hope…
