<p>Extracurricular:</p>

<p>120+ hrs volunteering at hospital
cocaptain of wrestling team
baseball team
sports editor of school newspaper
EAGLE SCOUT-tons of service hours
Rotary club sr of the month
more ECs than ive listed</p>

<p>My freshman and sophomore grades were consistant low Bs and one C+ each year…
Junior year grades imporved and Sr year GPA is about 3 pts higher than career</p>

<p>essay assume above average
recommendations by 2 qualified teachers plus one from hospital I volunteer at.</p>

<p>My letter of deferal from BU suggested sending sr year grades, i presume its to see if my junior year grades were an anomily or if i actually did mature after sophomore year. I think senior grades will help me, but do i have a legit shot?</p>

<p>please give suggestions for getting into NYU and asses chances of other schools. thanks</p>

<p>your grade are going to kill you, u better have a good excuse for them in your essay about why lol</p>

<p>Your GPA is a low, but you can still be a competitive applicant if everything else is okay, which it seems to be. Try to get recruited if you are good enough to wrestle in college…this can be your hook.</p>

<p>You’ll easily get into schools like Northeastern, Pittsburgh, etc.</p>

<p>Good luck.</p>

<p>your gpa is not that high. your sat score is not bad.</p>

<p>Well, with the gpa, if he’s in a competitive private school, thats got to mean something (of course I’m biased since I went to one). Basically, it will depend on how his gpa is in relation to his classmates. Also, the gpa seems unweighted, and he is taking a difficult schedule, so it may not be as bad as it appears.</p>
