<p>Hey I was wondering if this looks like what Villanova is looking for at all for music/creative writing majors:</p>
<p>GPA: 4.19 weighted (going to rise)
3.88 unweighted (same)
Rank: 32/317 (getting better..it's in the 20's now)
SAT: (they're not fair)..writing 610, crit reading 520, math 550.
ACT: June 10th, not taken yet.
9th grade i took almost all honors (I have 3 B's on my transcript), 10th grade i took 2 honors, this year (11) i took 1 ap and 4 honors and have all A's (one b+). From 10th grade on, I have all A's on the transcript. Next year, I am taking 4 AP's (2 AP and 2 ap weighted honors) and 1 actual honors honors.</p>
<p>Extracurriculars: People to people student ambassador program, national youth leadership conference (possibly--next summer), glsen (helps teach others about diversity), junior mendelssohn choir, voice lessons, piano lessons, cantoring for my rabbi, jazz choir, chamber choir (most elite), and many others that I can't think of. </p>
<p>Thanks!!</p>
<p>Jeremy- you have alot going for you, and are obviously doing well in school. It is a harsh fact that the SATs do matter so much. If you can pull those up, you will have a better shot. You should get a list of match and safety schools as well as reaches going. There are so many good choices out there for someone with your interests.
I'd recommend a book by Loren Pope called "Colleges That Change Lives," (there is a website as well).
Good luck!</p>
<p>Jeremybeach---My D had horrible SAT's but a great transript such as yours. Her GPA was a little higher and tons of EC's including leadership, athletics, work etc. She knew her SAT's would hurt her and she knew she wanted to go to Villanova. She contacted them many times during the application process with updated awards and accomplishments. She also wrote admissions stating how it was her first choice etc. It would seem that you will have many choices given all your stats. If you have a particular school in mind, make sure they know that it is your first choice. Good Luck!!</p>
