PLEASE chance me!

<p>I am a first generation American and will be the first in my family (besides my brother) to attend college. Also I am out-of-state.</p>

<p>Academics:

  • GPA: 3.58 UW 4.44 WEIGHTED
  • TOP 10% … last time I checked I was about 94 out of class of 1,200 (somewhere around there)
  • 25 on ACT (I know this is very low compared to others - but I took it 5 times and could not bring it up)
  • 7 AP classes including classes like AP Music Theory, AP Statistics, AP World History, AP Psychology, AP Chemistry… and plenty of Honors or “pre-ap” classes beginning with freshman year
  • Better GPA each year (started with C’s freshman year and got my first straight A’s in high school my second semester of junior year)</p>

<p>Activities/clubs/EC:

  • Student Council officer for all 4 years of high school (Student Council Publicist (2 years), Service, Secretary)
  • Key Club President for 2 years
  • Youth group VP for 1 year, hospitality team
  • Various clubs like Asian American Association, TUMS (medical society club), NHS, environmental club,
  • Various volunteer work (Race For The Cure, Kids Against Hunger, VBS, mission trip, etc)</p>

<p>I think I had pretty decent essays, and I applied to the early filing period with a major of Psychology (LAS)</p>

<p>Any advice would help. Thanks in advance!</p>

<p>You will get in. Don’t worry. Your act is low but your GPA is great. I know a kid who had a 22 and 4.0 weighted and got into LAS. You should be fine. If you can go to mine and chance me that would be great. Good luck!!!</p>
