<p>High School GPA</p>

<p>UW: 3.1
W:4.1</p>

<p>SAT: 1350 (I only took it once, and I actually fell asleep whilst taking the exam. I did not, however, write that into my applications).</p>

<p>I spent my essay detailing my 3 years of work experience, motives and accomplishments; as well as my interest in being a Linguist, having come from an immigrant family in the extraordinarily diverse City of Greater Miami.</p>

<p>I'm currently enrolled in a CC, and have been for only one semester. During which, I took 17 credits, and got all A's (my College does not rank, nor does it offer A+s or A-s). I'm currently taking 13 credits, if I remember correctly; to wit: Calculus 2, a political science class, Intro to Cultural Anthropology, and Biology.</p>

<p>I got my Letter of Recommendation from the English Department Chair, and A glowing review from my English teacher and a Humanities professor.</p>

<p>I applied to:</p>

<p>Temple
Norhteastern
Boston University
Boston College</p>

<p>I don't expect much, but here goes.</p>

<p>The 1350 is out of 1600, right? I think you have good chances at all, with Boston College as the highest reach.</p>

<p>Ah, yeah, I keep forgetting that I have to clarify between the 1600 and 2400 versions of the SAT. </p>

<p>Yes, my 1350 is out of 1600.</p>

<p>Thanks for the response, skp.</p>

<p>Thanks for the words, Optis. I'm hoping for some good results, but, for whatever reason, it's tough not to be at least a little cynical. All part of the process, I guess.</p>
