I am a junior and I already have talked to my college counselor about a few. Anyway I’m looking for a big university hopefully a D1, not saying I would be playing there but it would be nice to be able to go see the big games. I go to a top college prep in state so it is a very challenging school. My GPA right now is 2.5. It is that low because a lot of stuff happened the past 2 years in my family (would not like to go into detail on here but will address it in applications) My ACT score predicted at 24-27 hoping to get a 26. Here are my activities


3 year varsity basketball player
-1 year varsity soccer
-1 year varsity track
-Big Brother Big Sister (help out little kids and hang out with them etc.)
-Soup Kitchen
-PADS (help out at a homeless shelter)
over the summer I also help my coaches run a basketball camp
-Work part time


I am hoping that this will help out with my GPA as well as a good ACT score. I plan on trying to own my own sports performance facility and train athletes so definitely looking at exercise science. Also have been looked at by d2 and d3 schools to play basketball so might be able to play at a D1 college or walk on.

So far I am looking at the following schools
-Southern Illinois Carbondale
-Indiana State University
-Illinois State University
-Northern Iowa
