average student who wants your input.

<p>with senior year approaching quickly i have started to look at colleges more seriously, i would greatly appreciate it if some of you would evaluate my chances at some of the schools i'm interested in.</p>

<p>American, Vermont, George Mason, Pittsburgh, Boston University, Ithaca, Depauw, Puget Sound.(I will also apply at Oklahoma State and University Of Oklahoma because they're in-state)</p>

<p>i am a junior.</p>

<p>numbers:
gpa: 3.2 (we don't have a weighted grading scale or class ranks at our school)
act: 21 (sophomore)
-- i think this will be easy to raise, i took it as a sophomore and didn't study at all.</p>

<p>a moderately difficult high school w/ toughest classes available (concurrent, ap, honors)</p>

<p>ec's:
1 year baseball,2 years track,2 years cross country, i also run marathons.
i am the yearbook editor and will be again next year.
500+ hours of community service.
year round job.
-- golf course
mayor's youth advisory council.
-- monthly movie in the park
-- multi-cultural food fair.
roots/sap.
hoby ambassador.
organize concerts in my community.(this is probably the ec i could expand on the most)
-- i organize an annual free music festival.
-- several benefit concerts for local charities (regional food bank, harvest help)
-- i think i have organized between 30-50 since i was 14.</p>

<p>(planning on working on a conservation crew with the student conservation association this summer)</p>

<p>p.s. how selective is northeastern?</p>

<p>i'm not familiar with your schools, but if u can get a rec from your mayor, that would help alot. Also yeah..21 doenst cut it, if u can get it up to a 30, which is good for most 25-30 ranked schools, u should get into all ur schools.</p>

<p>i will be able to get it up to a 25-28, i don't know about a 30. my town is small (50,000) would a rec from the mayor even be worth anything?</p>

<p>hey, if uve done something or made an effort tahts gotten u to know and have relations with the mayor, its all good !</p>

<p>i might mention something to him next meeting.thanks for the tip.</p>
